I love the Mielle Pomegranate and Honey Shampoo, its the only shampoo I have found that moisturizes and detangles my hair at the same time.

I use this conditioner along with the shampoo from the same brand. I like that it is moisturizing and helps to reduce frizz.
Mielle Organics Pomegranate & Honey Conditioner
I like this detangler because it cuts down on wash time significantly. This product makes detangling my hair so easy, it takes me about 10 minutes.

This is my favorite hair gel to use for any sleek styles or wash and gos. It won't make your hair crunchy since it is made with aloe vera and it is alcohol free. This gel is perfect for hair of all textures.

I use these when I wear my hair in a puff or updo. Goody brand is one of my favorites because they don't snag your hair and they come in different sizes so you can use them depending on the density of your hair.
Goody Hair Ties in Hair Accessories
I love these to “pineapple” my hair at night to preserve my twist outs and braid outs. They are very convenient because instead of twisting or braiding your hair up at night you can just put your hair in the two scrunchies.
