Oils and spray
These oils and sprays help with itching and dryness.
The best oil for supporting growth and preventing so much breakage.
DOO GRO® Stimulating Hair Oil
Helps with the itching. Sometimes I'm not ready to take my braids out or wash it just yet, this helps without adding heavy oil every time.
Sulfur 8 Medicated Dandruff Scalp Spray 12oz
You know the feeling when you drink a cold glass of water after brushing your teeth? That's what this feels like but for your scalp!
NaturoBliss Peppermint Essential Oil 4oz
I love using this for my dryness and preventing breakage!
Jamaican Black Castor Oils
Shampoo(s)
Sulfur8 is great for my Sebborheic dermatitis and gas helped with the flare ups. Native is good for when I'm not having a flare up and just want a smell good wash!
This does a great job at keeping my Sebborheic dermatitis flare ups minimal.
Sulfur8 Deep Clean Shampoo 7 Ounce (Pack of 8)
Doesn't do anything for the dermatitis but if I'm not flaring up and just want a smell good shampoo, I'll use this! I love the way it leaves mt hair smelling soooo good!
Almond & Shea Butter Strengthening Shampoo
Pre-wash!
I use this pre-wash especially when I'm having a flare up. It helps breakdown the crusty, flaky patches I get sometimes and I usually don't have as much tenderness afterwards.
I use this about 15 minutes before washing my hair, it gets the dried oil build up broken down and keeps me from some tenderness afterward.
Walgreens
Conditioner(s)
Jamaican mango & lime is a great conditioner and pairs well with it's shampoo. I actually use this with the sulfu8 as well and have no problems!
Native conditioner is great as well and of course, it smells good!
Great product for loc girlies! They have great natural hair products. I love this conditioner and it smells so good to me!
Protein Conditioner – Helps Strengthen And Prevent Breakage
Smells so good and although it's not necessarily helpful with my dermatitis, it doesn't irritate my scalp either so I consider that a win! I use this with either shampoo.
Almond & Shea Butter Strengthening Conditioner
Leave in conditioner/Grease
When I'm having a flare up and not quite ready for a wash I use these greases. They are pretty lightweight as well.
For my Sebborheic girlies, this is good for daily use. I use this daily to manage flare ups.
Sulfur 8 Medicated Dandruff Control Leave-In 2.5oz
This helps with itching and dryness. I have dermatitis and it is one of the only greases that does not give me a flare up.
Blue Magic - Originals - Cremes- Argans
Satin
Satin is great for preventing frizz and breakage on your hair! I definitely recommend it to my 4c hair girlies!!!!
Perfect for sleeping or just any time you aren't needing to have your hair out like just around the house. I have these in almost every color.
Satin Bonnet
I loved the texture of it when I was bald and it kept my waves up pretty nicely.
Nick Wavy Collection - Satin Durag (Black Body / Yellow Stitch)
While you might not find these at the beauty supply store, these are perfect for daily use. When making runs outside, if you aren't a bonnet or durag person. The satin keeps my hair from being pulled.
Satin Lined Beanies
Brushes/Combs
Some helpful daily and wash day brushes and massagers!
So good for getting the soap to the scalp and giving yourself the best massage. I almost forgot I was in the shower once.
Scalp Massage
Great for my loc girlies who are getting lint buildup on your hair. I got one yesterday and love brushing my hair daily!
