These are my favorite products for my curly, natural but colored hair. I wash and style my hair weekly and get it colored, trimmed, and straightened by a pro about every 10-14 weeks.

Shampoos
I generally alternate between strength and moisture shampoos each week. The Kure is my fave strengthening shampoo.
amika The Kure Strength Repair Shampoo
Top tier moisturizing shampoo
Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Shampoo with Hyaluronic Acid
A stylist refers to Eva NYC as Amika's little sister. I concur.
Eva NYC H2-Whoa Hydrating Shampoo 10oz
Great moisturizing shampoo
MATRIX Food Soft Shampoo Dry Brittle Hair
Just a good moisturizing shampoo. No notes.
Doux SUCKA FREE Moisturizing Shampoo Curly
Definitely underrated
ALURAM Coconut Water Moisturizing Shampoo
This is one i use about one a month- alternating between this and Malibu Undo Goo
OUAI Detox shampoo Shampoing détox au vinaigre de cidre
Once a month I use this or OUAI detox shampoo.
Malibu C Un-Do-Goo Clarifying Shampoo
Smells divine and works great
Design Essentials Almond & Avocado Moisturizer
Definitely makes detangling easier. Not necessarily a moisturizing shampoo.
Camille Rose Guava Slip Detangling Shampoo
Smells amazing like a spa experience
INNERSENSE Organic Natural Hydrating Shampoo
I tend to use this weekly since most shampoos seem to be sulfate free nowadays. This gets build-up off my hair without any stripping.
KRISTIN ESS HAIR Deep Clean Clarifying Shampoo
Conditioners
Strengthening but also has good slip for detangling
amika The Kure Strength Repair Conditioner - Sephora
This brand was recommended to my by a curly hair specialist and I see why.
Aluram Coconut Water Moisturizing Conditioner
The Doux never disappoints for my curly hair. Good moisturizing conditioner with plenty of slip.
The Doux Fresh Rinse Moisturizing Conditioner 8oz
Another great conditioner. No notes.
INNERSENSE Organic Beauty Natural Color Radiance
This is the only leave-in conditioner on this list as the Doux styling products have built-in leave-in. BUT Block Party has such a strong hold, this helps to balance that.
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Leave In Conditioner
Masks/deep conditioners/treatments
Never met an Amika mask I didn't love
The Kure Intense Bond Repair Hair Mask - amika
So moisturizing and luscious. My curls love it.
Hydro Rush Intense Moisture Hair Mask with Hyaluronic Acid
I love that this addresses both strength and moisture
Aluram Hydrate & Repair Hair Treatment
Another Amika win
Amika Soulfood Nourishing Hair Mask
Affordable but works really great
Eva NYC Therapy Session Deep Conditioning Hair Mask 13.5oz ...
Hands-down the Best deep conditioning mask
Matrix Food For Soft Rich Hydrating Treatment Mask for Hair Repair
She's an icon for bond repair. I like that it's rinse-out so it doesn't interfere with my styling products.
Olaplex N°.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment
I always use 0 (first) and 3 (second) together
Olaplex N°.0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment
I use this weekly the day before I wash my hair
Eva NYC Hydrating Scalp Treatment Serum
Styling products
This is my current go-to styling gel. They really mean strong hold. My wash and go lasts a full 7 days with this. Use on SOAKING WET hair for best results.
The Doux Block Party Anti-Humidity Defining Gel 16 oz - Walmart.com
This plus Chief Rocka is a dynamic duo. It was my go-to combo before Block Party came out. Use on SOAKING WET hair for best results.
The Doux Bananas Xtreme Hold Hair Gel - 12 fl oz
Clumps like nobody's business!
The Doux Chief Rocka Xtreme Moisture Mousse - 8 fl oz - Target
Never would have guessed a foam would work on my hair but it did. I prefer to pair it with a strong gel.
Doux Mousse Def - Amazon.com
Another great foam. I'd say it has slightly stronger hold than Mousse Def.
The Doux Curl Cream & Setting Mousse
Great base/botanical gel. I generally top it with Bee Girl Honey Curl Custard for more hold. Might throw a foam in for fun. Was my go-to combo for a long time.
The Doux 808 Base Gel 12 oz., Moisturizing, Unisex - Walmart.com
One of my top 3 Doux stylers. With any of their strong hold gels, use it on SOAKING WET hair for vest results.
