I currently use this shampoo and it works for me. Everyone says that L’oréal is a cheaper version of Redken and I agree! It’s a good quality shampoo at good price.
EverPure Sulfate-Free Clarifying Shampoo with Antioxidants
As a fake blonde, I like using this to keep my hair bright. It helps me stay away from brassy tones. I also feel like it cleans my hair well too so that’s a plus.
Blonde Moment Purple Shampoo
This stuff works really well. I got a mini size as a birthday gift and fell in love with it.

I’ve been using this pretty consistently and I like the results from it. When I rinse it out, my hair feels a lot smoother/ softer. It is a good choice for my curl type.
Dream Lengths Curls Moisture Seal Conditioner, 28fl oz - L'Oréal Paris
I bought this for the first time and I really like it so far! It smells good and my hair feels super soft after rinsing it out.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Conditioner
I really liked this! My hair felt insanely smooth and softer after using this. My friend used it one time and had to go out and buy it because she said it made her hair so soft.

This smells so good and it feels nice in my hair. I haven’t tried a CurlSmith product that I didn’t like.

It’s actually crazy how good this stuff works. After I rinse it out, my hair feels like SILK. I highly recommend this product. I go through bottles of this super fast.
Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water Lamellar Hair Treatment
Shea butter is super moisturizing, so I use this when my hair feels really dry (which is most times). My hair feels softer and more hydrated after I use this.
Raw Shea Butter Deep Moisturizing Masque 115 oz
I use this at least once a week. It makes my hair feel so soft and the product smells really good too.
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Treatment Masque
I love using this when my hair is feeling brittle/ weak. If I straighten my hair, I like to use this my next wash day. I recommend any L’oréal products.

I love Miss Jessie’s products!!! This is a moisturizing leave-in. It’s lightweight, helps with frizz, and smells very clean.
Leave In Condish - Lightweight leave In Conditioner For Curly Hair
I absolutely love this stuff. My hair feels so light when I use this. I feel like it helps make my curls softer and reduces the amount of frizz I usually have. It also smells like clean laundry, it’s SO GOOD!!! My hair smells like this product for DA...

Mousse

This is currently my favorite mousse! I feel like it really does add volume/ body to my hair. It doesn’t leave my hair crunchy or weighed down either.
Plump for Joy Thickening Hair Lifter - Mousse
Although this says “refreshing foam”, I will still use it in place of a mousse. It’s very lightweight but it still holds my curls for several days. No crunch, or feeling weighed down.
Curl Talk Refreshing Foam
This mousse smells SO GOOD. It smells like a sweet honey. For my hair type, I find that less is more for me. It weighs my hair down if I use too much, but using a smaller amount works just fine! I feel like it moisturizes my hair also.

This is and has been my go-to gel for years. I like this one specifically because it’s shimmery 🙈 (it doesn’t show up in your hair though, sadly.) It doesn’t leave my hair crunchy and I find I can use a good bit of product without my hair feeling li...
Eco Style Black Castor & Flaxseed Oil Gel
This gel definitely works well at holding curls. For me, I don’t need a whole lot for it to work. It smells good too, like a citrusy smell.

This brush was worth the money IMO. I use it to define my curls and I notice a genuine difference. A cool thing about it is, you can slide the brush out and take the rows of bristles out depending on what kind of curl you want.
Denman Brush
I use these when I want to put my hair in a ponytail or do another type of style. It smoothes out the frizz and makes your hair look neater. Although, it can kind of kill any volume you had in your hair.
GranNaturals Boar Bristle Slick Back Hair Brush
If you have thick, long hair like me, you should invest in getting a wide claw clip. I’ve struggled using claw clips that were too small and my hair would always fall down or I couldn’t clip it all in. These are wide and you’re able to put all your h...
Large Claw Clips
I use this every night when I sleep to help keep my hair from being absolutely insane when I wake up. It helps so much!
Organic Silk Bonnets
Hair Oils
I like this for me because it’s very lightweight. I do about 2 pumps and go about my day without looking/ feeling greasy.
100% Pure Argan Oil Head-to-Toe Smoothing - Hair/Skin
This smells so good 😍 Reminds me of a salon product. I use about 2 pumps and it works well for me. I would describe this being in between a light and thicker oil. It’s in the middle.
Damage Therapy Bond Shield 10 in 1 Super Serum
I use this for hair growth. I personally only use it once a week when I’m about to wash my hair.
Rosemary Mint Scalp & Hair Strengthening Oil
This is a lightweight oil that’s really nice for daily use! Any brand of it is fine. I love using this on my ends and my cuticles on my fingers too 😊
