Coils, Curls, and Somewhere In Between

items Most of my hair is living its best 4B life, with a little 4A hanging out in the back and a sprinkle of 4C up front. Low porosity, fine strands, and a mind of its own mean I’ve tried just about every product under the sun. These are the ones that make...

Suds & Sass
Shampoos, co-washes, and cleansers that make wash day worth the work.
I’m a total product junkie, so clarifying is a must for me. The problem was clarifying always left my hair stripped. That changed when I found this hydrating shampoo. It was the first one I tried after clarifying, and it worked so well I never bother...
Taliah Waajid Curls Waves Naturals Clean-N-Curly
When my hair feels off, I grab HASK Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner for a couple weeks. Super hydrating, never dries me out, and helps my hair bounce back and grow.
HASK Biotin Boost Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner
Slip City
Conditioners, deep conditioners, and masks that make tangles tap out.
This creamy co-wash has been a lifesaver whenever my hair felt dry or brittle from coloring. It gives me slip to detangle, doubles as a deep conditioner, and leaves my hair soft, moisturized, and protected from breakage. It’s one of those products th...
Taliah Waajid Creamy Curly Co-Wash, 16oz
Curl Command
Gels, creams, puddings, soufflés, and milks that boss your curls into place.
The D.O.U.X 808 Base Gel is the real deal. I was worried it might be too hard, crunchy, or sticky, but it surprised me. When I want to leave my hair alone for a while and stop over-manipulating it, this gel keeps it soft and hydrated for days. My hai...
808 Base Gel 12oz
I use Big Papa Defining Gel in a way that might be a little unconventional, but it works for me and I am loving it. Instead of only applying it to my hair, I actually part my hair and work it directly into my scalp, then brush it through. My hair end...
Big Poppa Defining Gel | Styling Gel for Curls
Just like anybody, I enjoy switching up my hair routine from time to time. Another D.O.U.X product I am really fond of is the Twist and Curl Cream. I use it by washing my hair and massaging it in from root to tip. Most of the time, I put my hair in l...
C.R.E.A.M. Twist & Curl Cream
One of the very first satisfying products in 'gel' form I ever tried. The slip is incredible! I used this when I did the big chop and my curls were "BOSS". I don't use as often anymore as my hair has gotten longer, and one jar would disappear quickly...
Taliah Waajid Curly Curl Gelo 6 Oz
This is an old favorite I switch up with from time to time and it never disappoints. A little goes a very long way!
Kinky Curly Curl Custard Gel, 8 oz
These are products I want to try, especially the Tropical Oasis gel, but I've heard it has a crunch. If anyone has used these and has fine low porosity hair let me know how they are, please.
MICHE Beauty
Bounce Patrol
Foams and mousses that bring the lift, the fluff, and the drama.
I reach for this mousse right after washing my hair when I just want to put it up in a puff or ponytail. It gives a little crunch at first, but it softens quickly and doesn’t flake. This is one of the few mousses I actually enjoy using.
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz
Treat Yo’ Tresses
Clays, serums, pre-poos, and all the extra love your hair craves.
This is already one of my skin staples, but I use it on my hair and scalp too. I apply it on its own or mix it with another oil for treatments.
Taliah Waajid Black Earth African Healing Oil
More amazing products for natural hair. There aren't many of these I haven't used or don't have in my current stash. If my hair needs healing from all the "stress" I put it through, I turn to TGIN for help.
Tgin
Great for after silk presses, braids, weaves, wigs, etc to clarify and renew, and breathe life back into your tresses.
Creme of Nature Clay & Charcoal Detox Mask
Life and stress will show up in your hair before they show up anywhere else. Mine was telling on me. I knew I needed a reset, so I gave myself one. I started using Carol's Daughter Goddess Strength Repairing Cocoon Mask and added hair bond treatments...
Carol's Daughter Goddess Strength Repairing Cocoon
My curls are literally loving this. The Doux Dear Mama Moisture Milk detangles, deeply moisturizes, and fights breakage all at once, and it is made for all curl types. I tried it and now I want the whole line. Dear Mama, you did that. The Doux produc...
DEAR MAMA Moisture Milk 12oz
Hawaiian Silky — I Went Looking for One Product and Found a Whole Hair-Care Line! 😂💕
I originally had the Hawaiian Silky 14-in-1 at home, and I loved what it did for my hair. My hair felt softer, more moisturized, and my curls had that juicy look ...
