I’m on a journey to improve my hair health and as someone who goes through trial and error with her hair, having type 4 low porosity dense hair, I can share a thing or two- and some even budget friendly!

Leave Ins
A top 5 in rotation leave in conditioner by far for my low porosity type 4 hair- eager to get my hands on the Palo Santo scent!
Curly Hair Leave-In Conditioner - Pattern Beauty
Shampoos
My fave shampoo on wash day! Great for dry and oily scalps. Tingling by sensation stimulates growth and does well to wash away dirt as my first shampoo on wash day
Trader Joe's Tea Tree Tingle Shampoo with Peppermint ...
very sudsy and smells so good! does well for the scalp and leaves me hair soft after rinse
Hydration Shampoo: Moisturizing Shampoo For Curly Hair
Conditioners
calling all my low porosity, type 4 hair curly girls! Use this as a detangler, a deep condition or a simple wash out!
Intensive Conditioner For Tight Textures
Serves its purpose well in between wash days. Love this one for hydration purposes and all the other lines do well with scalp health as well
Long & Luxe Growash
use once a month or after having a protective style. gives a lot of hydration and i feel like it has some slight protein or strengthening ingredient in it so it’s not for every wash day use
Still diving into this line & I enjoyed the moisture butter so well- great for twist outs and braid outs in the winter time
Curlaide Moisture Hair Butter for Natural Hair - Camille Rose
It really “doux” what it do!! From twists outs, braid outs, slickbacks, wash and go’s, claw clip styles- need I say more?
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz - The Doux
I rave about this a lot and will be adding this into my summer routine heavily! The moisture is there and is good way to moisturize my hair during the week
Jamaican Black Castor Oil Water
I picked this up from the Ulta 21 days of beauty sale and I’m glad I did! I got this along with my leave in conditioner restock and it smells just like the leave in conditioner and the consistency is not too heavy (perfect for fall and twists outs!)
Styling Cream for Curly & Natural Hair
Oils
This oil serum did well for my breakage and shedding. I use it twice a week and I see a big difference in my hair growth. Definitely cheaper with coupons at CVS
Cocoa Nibs + Honey Ultimate Strength Serum
Masks
Works as a nice and quick protein treatment when your hair needs it in between styles. Love that it is plant based for the most part and did wonders for my hair. Can find it at Ulta or a local TJ Maxx
Bond Curl Rehab Salve
My # 1 key product needed for every wash day. Amazing slip and gives some moisture back to my hair before i get into my whole routine. You can find it everywhere and anywhere especially your local beauty supply store
