Protein. Let me be very clear. Protein should only be used after straightening or using heat tools on your hair. There is no need to use protein like using moisture. You are going to break your hair. I specifically use protein for after using my heat...

I use before my silk press ( I am NOT a straight natural, the ONLY reason I blow out and straighten my hair is to trim my ends. And I trim my ends every 4-6 months) My favorite for hydrated curls but strong curls. And is great for low porosity hair

If you have NEVER heard of, the Doux (pronounced, the Do) bay-beeeee. I am here to put you on. I remember the day I came across this Black-Owned Business. The Owner, Mrs. Maya Smith came up on my YouTube channel feed. And my first thought was, “Oh, G... Yeah. Put it in your cart 🛒

The doux C.R.E.A.M Braid and Twist cream
Another mousse that I have been going gaga over. This is newer in my curly collection. I’ve been really enjoying this but I just wish this mousse had a little more fluff to it. This mousse is more on the watery side. But nonetheless, I still like it ...
