A leave in condtioner is a must! Use the to apply moisture in your hair after showering ~

Ok- if you have high porosity 3c hair this is a must have! Perfect for a wash and go- made my hair have a “wet” look even after diffusing it dry! Smell is very flattering not to in your face.

Best gel, my curls last week. Make sure to use this with their curl defining cream for the juiciest curls ever~ TIP: After applying your gel go back and look for any frizzies and apply more gel to those parts !
Strictly Curls® Define & Hold Flex Gel
Great hold with this gel - I would give it a 4/5 stars on hold. And I must add- it pairs really nicely with my curly cocktails. I never get flaking and it has a lighter smell compared to other AG care products ~ I recommend if yo like more of a hold ...
LIQUID EFFECTS Medium-Hold Weightless Styling Gel
Great for a strong hold. Smells very vanilla-y and sweet. Has protein so be careful if your hair is sensitive to protein ~

Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter
My Flax seed gel cast went viral on Tiktok-here's how I make it ~ Boil some water (~1 cup) and to the boiling water add .5 cups of flax seeds~ The water will continue to boil with the seeds for another 10-15 minutes. once there is a film from the fla... You will let this cool down and the mixture will naturally strains the gel from flax seeds! While it's still warm (not hot) transfer the gel to a glass container and use it as gel for wash day! I add vanilla extract and cinnamon to make my hair smell good as well as dried rosemary for growth properties (These are added while the water is bo...
Sevananda Natural Foods Market
Recently tried this and fell in love with the clean girl scent it gives off~ The cast given with this product is very shiny and last a couple days.
I actually think like this one a bit more than the strictly curls gel!
Advanced Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Gel
My favorite mousse! It has such a silky texture, that it just glides on the curl, I love how the cast you get from this is there but it’s extremely soft compared to something like the not your mother’s plump for joy which hm gives a crunchy cast.

Glass skin but hair. This makes my hair so shinny, do not over use this as it is a bond building hair product ~ I find 1`~2 pumps for the whole head is good enough

RED by Kiss Dry Vent Detangling Hair Brush
Please use this to protect your curls after working so hard on them ! Use this nightly or whenever your curls are not out~
Bonnet
Any silk scrunchies will work but this is good for when you want to put your hair in a ponytail. Do NOT use the regular hair ties- these rip out our hair, basically thinning out our curls over time and creating spilt ends!

I have the dollar tree version that works so well! I went for a bad brush (the plastic bristles were bent up!) to this amd instantly started loosing less hair when I would do detangling seshes ~

The blow dryer I use; I love it so much it’s so cute(I have the pink version).
