Shampoos
Shampoos to nourish but also clarify! Definitely look at the reviews before taking your pick on what would work best with your hair
When I feel that my hair is greasy and overloaded by product residue, this is the one I use to get rid of build up and have my curls bouncing again. I use this once weekly in between washes
Elvive Hyaluron + Pure 72h Purifying Shampoo For Oily Roots & Scalp
This is what I used when my hair was brittle and I started making the transition to wearing it natural. Definitely recommend for that hair that required deep hydration
Moisturizing & Hydrating Shampoo For All Hair Types
A great, affordable option for those starting their curly hair journey. It was one of my first ever shampoos and personally I loved the fragrances. Great option for people that go for sulfate free options
Sulfate-Free Curl Nourish Shampoo for Healthy Hair
Great to remove product build up without unnecessary drying out the skin of the scalp. I use a lot of products so it’s great to reset before starting your curly hair routine again.
Scalp + Hair Therapy Clarifying Shampoo
When I had an itchy scalp, this saved me. It was a total reset for my hair and allowed hydration to then set it and for the oil production to reduce
Neutrogena Anti-Residue Clarifying Shampoo
This is the one I am currently using, since the summer in Florida burned my hair to oblivion. It’s really rich and hydrating, and I find that it really shapes the ringlets
Curl Power | Curl Defining Shampoo
Conditioners/Hair Masks
They’re in the same category for me. As curly heads we need lots of hydration in moderation
I use it when my fair feels very stiff and brittle, especially after you blow dry your hair and want it to look healthy again naturally.
Dove Damage Therapy Intensive Repair 10 in 1 Serum Mask
Conditioner is the same as the shampoo, thick and helps you detangle in the shower
Curl Power | Curl Defining Conditioner
Great if you want your hair to look shiny and for split ends to diminish. I definitely use it after my shampoo in place of conditioner, brush through, and then wash off and style
Miracle Rescue Intensive Bond Repair Mask
Hair oils
Great for hair growth. It is deeply penetrating and if you have light hair it can darken it/even tone
Pure Amla Oil for Hair Growth, 300ml
I use it on my scalp and massage to stimulate growth. I personally love the smell as well and I use it to remove product residue on my scalp before washing
Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
I use it on the ends of my hair after using the diffuser. Another way to use it is by day 4/5 of my hair when I am deeply untangling it to do a braid or something like that
Argan Oil of Morocco Penetrating Oil
A good dupe for Olaplex #7, but a bit thicker. I honstly think the biggest plus is that when comparing the price points you get the same benefits for less!
Trader Joe s 100% Organic ARGAN OIL 1.7 Oz
Styling Products
I use it with the rest of the line and find it deeply moisturizing/thick as the other products of this line. I use it when my curls need moisture and definition over volume
being Dream Curl Smoothie - 12oz: Curl Enhancing, Curly ...
I use it when I define but also for slickbacks when I don't want a hair out of place
Fructis Curl Sculpt Conditioning Cream Gel
It does not produce stiff curls, which is exactly what I'm looking for. After the hair dryes I separate the ringlets for volume
Flexible Waves & Curls Gel
It is very rich and a little goes a long way with this product. It gets absorbed by the hair and remains soft
Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie 12oz
It gives a shiny, hydrated curly hair look and paired with my diffuser it creates a lot of volume
Rizos Curls Curl Defining Cream (10oz / 296ml)
