I struggle with an itchy scalp so I mostly use head and shoulders BUT these are my favorite clarifying shampoos.
I love this shampoo for clarifying, it really does leave my hair super soft and bouncy afterwards! A little pricey but worth every penny

Another great clarifying shampoo! I feel like it really does reset my hair when I have a lot of buildup

Another great conditioner with amazing slip! This does smell strongly of ginger but I like it 😏 it really does keep my hair soft and it feels healthier
Goddess Strength Fortifying Conditioner With Castor Oil
Leave In Conditioner
I mostly use leave ins and always look for something that will not create a ton of build up and will leave my curls light and fluffy

KNOT TODAY LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER
A great simple leave in that works, it smells so good and makes my hair super soft and fluffy (which I like)

Been using this at night and it’s soooo lightweight and smells divine! Definitely need something in addition to this for styling, but the slip is very nice and really good for my low porosity hair
Guava Slip Detangling Leave-In Conditioner
Creams and Gels
I don’t like anything too heavy on my hair but it does need hold from time to time, these are some amazing options!

Curl Talk Fragrance & Protein Free Defining Cream
This is an amazing styler, it really does have a soft hold that lasts. It smells so good and a little goes a longggggg way. I’ll use this when I want more definition and for my wash and go to last 1-2 days

A recent purchase but I’m actually so surprised by it!! It’s very moisturizing and has a nice fresh scent to it. I use it to touch up in the morning and it’s been making my hair last for like 2-3 days which is great for me. It has great slip and a li...

Great option for a lightweight gel, I used this create a soft hold and to help with frizz

Hair Oils
I never thought I’d like oil in my hair because it gets weighed down easily but these two are my absolute favorites! They don’t weigh my hair down but still give me that shine and moisture I’m looking for ✨
My favorite hair oil 😩 it’s so good and truly weightless. It never weighs my hair down! I also love that they have a mini size!

Hair Tools
I just recently started diffusing my curls and wow what a difference! I’m obsessed with my diffuser and blow dryer 🤎
My favorite hair tool 😍 I mostly use the diffuser or the brush attachment (to straighten hair). It’s pricey but so worth it!!!
Shark® Hair Dryers & Ionic Blow Dryers
I use this brush when I want more definition, I like that it doesn’t have the balls at the end of the bristles because my hair would usually snag on those. It’s great for detangling wet hair!

Hair Protection
These are just as important as the products you use on your curls! Nothing too fancy but very essential to healthy happy curls
The best hair towel! I love how big it is and that it’s microfiber so it’s much gentler on curly hair. And the pattern is so cute 🩷
Terracotta Checker XL Hair Towel Wrap
I have a few of these that I rotate for protecting my curls at night. I love the one that doesn’t have the adjustable string because I get headaches with too much tension and the other cap sits loosely on my head which I prefer. Also satin lined whic...
Satin-Lined Caps
Silk scarves are a must for protecting your hair at night! I have this tan one and love it
