Use to help with detangling starting from the ends going up to the root. I like to brush going vertically and then horizontally

I needed a blow dryer with ALL the tools to blow this thick hair. I use the comb attachment the most.
KISS 1875 Watt Pro Tourmaline Ceramic Styling Edition Hair Dryer, 5 Pieces
This is my OG blow dryer and I still have this exact one 6 years later. There are some mixed reviews with this one but section and gentleness from end to root is key. While I recommend this, if you can find it cheaper, do that.

Make tackling those thick tresses easier by clipping them in small sections.

Aunt Jackie's Knot On My Watch Detangler | Textured Hair | Sally Beauty
Great to use to help detangle and loosen buildup after having a braid style. Spray hair with warm water and then apply product starting at the ends and work your way up to the root. Finger comb or use a detangling brush to work the product through.

Love using this to get an initial cleanse to lift all the buildup. This is used once a month during my wash day periods.
The Doux Break Down Clarifying Shampoo, 12 OZ
Creamy lather to wash out buildup and add moisture back to the hair. I use this after a clarifying shampoo. It has worked well on my color-treated hair.
I love using this for my twist outs. Mist hair with warm water and add this before starting the twists.

Hands down my favorite foam to use for braids, twist outs, slick downs, edges, everything.

As I Am Jamaican Black Castor Oil Curling Creme | Hair Styling Products | Textured Hair | Sally Beauty
Silk press
I used this right before flat ironing and it was a game changer for my silk press. Depending on your hair type, you might only need this instead of a flat iron
Gamma+ Hot Ceramic Styling Brush | Sally Beauty
My hair felt a little dry after flat ironing and after some drops of this, I instantly felt a difference which is rare for me to feel. It feels super lightweight so this should help to keep your silk press smooth for a few weeks.
