First you wash
This list includes pre-poo, clarifying, and moisturizing shampoos that work well on low porosity hair.
Hands down the BEST pre-poo for detangling natural hair. It has great slop and moisture.
Fenugreek Detangling Pre Poo
this shampoo isn't marketed as a clarifying shampoo, but for me it acts as one. It doesn't strip my hair, but it definitely gets it super clean!

Now you style
The styler you use depends on the style you do. I like creams for protective styles, mousse for wash and gos and twist outs, and gel as a topper for my wash and go, as needed.
This gel is so good on its own for a wash and go or can be used as a topper/strong hold gel for a longer lasting wash and go.

When your strands need some strength
If your hair is feeling mushy or extremely fragile, you may need a protein or bond treatment. These are the ones that I like.
This treatment is really good at strengthening your hair strands, especially after heat styling, protective styling, and chemical treatments.

This is such a great protein-moisture balancing treatment. It melts like butter going onto my hair and leaves my hair feeling soft and revived after rinsing it out.
