Fave Foams
Â
This is my go-to foam to keep my hair laid! It gives a nice hold, without the crunch (depending on how much you use). I also love that it moisturizes my hair and doesn't leave a flaky mess like some other foams.
Doux MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam, 7 oz
Â
This is my 2nd fave after the Mousse Def foam. It's VERY moisturizing and has a slightly softer hold than the Mousse Def. The only downside is how sticky it is when applying.
Doux CRAZYSEXYCURL Honey Setting Foam 7oz
Â
Now this is an old-school fave, but the quality has diminished in comparison to other brands, but this is still my back up when I'm out of my other 2 faves.
Nairobi Wrapp-It Shine Foaming Lotion 8oz
Shampoos/Conditioners
Â
This is my new favorite line for my beauties on a budget. When I don’t feel like spending an arm & leg on hair products, I reach for this. If you’re a fellow low porosity girlie, your hair will thank you for this moisture boost!
L'Oreal Elvive Hyaluron Plump Shampoo 12.6oz
Â
This is one of the only conditioners that penetrates my low porosity strands without the need to sit under the dryer. Try it if your hair fights for moisture!
L'Oreal Elvive Hyaluron Plump Conditioner 12.6oz
Â
The ultimate lifesaver for thirsty strands! I use this leave-in conditioner on wash day & even in between wash days for extra hydration.
Aunt Jackie's Quench Moisture Leave-In Conditioner 12 oz
Â
For this to be a clarifying shampoo, it’s extremely hydrating and moisturizing. Leaves my hair squeaky clean! I use this when I’ve used a lot of product on my hair to remove the buildup!
Aunt Jackie's Grapeseed Power Wash Shampoo
Oils & Serums
Â
I call this my “hair reviver”. Whenever my hair is dry & frizzy, I spritz with some water & add some sprays of this & my hair is renewed!
L'Oreal Elvive Hyaluron Plump Hair Serum
Â
This product is an oil & serum all-in-one! Lightweight & nourishing to my short strands, while fighting frizz from this humid South Florida coming climate. It’s also a heat protectant too!
L'Oreal Paris Bond Repair+ Hair Oil Serum 1.6oz
Â
I love this oil on the super humid days when the frizz gets the best of me. Use sparingly, as it can start to weigh the hair down if too much is applied at once.
Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum
Miscellaneous Must Haves
Â
I tie my hair down with these strips after “molding” it with one of my fave foams & sitting under the dryer until my hair dries to lay it down when I’m in between haircuts. My curly hair doesn’t lay right without this method when my hair starts t...
GRAHAM BEAUTY SANEK NECK STRIPS XL - 50
Â
I didn’t want to buy a big bulky hooded hair dryer, so I opted for this hooded dryer attachment for my blow dryer, which works just as good! I sit under for about 30 mins or after molding my hair or when I’m deep conditioning after coloring.
Hooded Hair Dryer Attachment w/ Headband
Gels & Pomades
Â
I love to use this molding paste when I want to add texture to my hair. Definitely not a daily product, as it feels heavy on my hair but the hold is great for styling.
got2b Flexing Molding Paste, 2 oz
Â
If you’re in need of a gel with a very strong hold, this is the product for you. Does better on wet hair and doesn’t flake!
Doux BANANAS Xtreme Hold Hair Gel 12oz
Â
A classic beauty supply store go to! I love the buildable hold, but beware as it can be a little flaky if you cake too much on the hair.
