As a girl with type 4 textured hair, things can get expensive not only quickly, but not each product works the same. For me personally, my hair is a big fan of hydration, creams, oils, and a routine. Of course, this routine comes not only from health...

shampoo

these are most used shampoos

personally, i do enjoy this shampoo, since my hair is big on hydration, my scalp and hair shafts don't feel so stripped!

tgin: moisture rich shampoo

now, i use this shampoo 1-2 times a month, just from the nature of oils and creams to remove that build-up and strip it away. there is a shampoo 2 and 3, but 3 is ONLY best for swimmers where things like chlorine is constantly touching your hair, if ...

paul mitchell: hair and scalp clarifying shampoo 2

conditioner

this is my trusty conditioner

again, very moisturizing and easy to rinse out afterwards, leaving a nice feeling to my hair.

tgin: triple moisture replenishing conditioner

masks

just something extra i might add in from time to time

i don't use this as often, but maybe 1-2 times a month with the clarifying shampoo, since that's very stripping and removes a bunch of buildup from my scalp i get to just replenish that into my head.

tgin: miracle repairx deep hydrating hair mask

protein treatments

this is a homemade treatment that i do, so no links to a product since it's very easy to make at home for cheap and lasts a lot longer. only do this if your hair can handle these kinds of protein treatments since everyone's hair is different!

once a week (usually wash days) i use a rice water mix that i've done after rinsing some rice, letting it sit in some water for 12-24 hours, then adding essential oils and putting it into hair dye bottles (to help depense and put it on my scalp along...

rice water

leave-in

here and 2 leave ins i enjoy and have used/use

i enjoy this thicker formula as compared to the rose water, BUT the rose water is still great and is an amazing alternative if you don't enjoy heavy formulas.

tgin: miracle repairx protective leave in conditioner

i have tried this and have found it to work very well. ifyou don't enjoy heavy creams, it soaks in quickly and doesn't leave my hair feeling dry. i think for me it's just a smidge too light for my liking, but still very effective, and that's just me ...

tgin: rose water leave in conditioner

creams

i enjoy both of these creams and the benefits that they offer

i truly do love this product and the way it feels, it's thick, but i can control how much i put and where, especially on my scal,p it feels amazing and like an instant relief

tgin: butter cream daily moisturizer

i have tried this too, again it was a smidge too light, but if you don't like heavy creams, this can be used in place of the thicker butter cream!

tgin: rose water hydrating curl cream

oils

hands down, love their oils, the ingredients are clean and work! you know what each ingredient is, nothing to question. they have more oils, which you can order offline or find in beauty supply stores. these oils are amazing, of course, don't overloa...

this is great for edges and thinning just in general, this helps reduce breakage

design essentails: strengthening oil

this is such a saving grace and i see it as the foundation at the root when it comes to the scalp.

design essentails: scalp care vitamin drops

i think this is nice for sealing ends which are harder to keep moisturized and the dryer parts around your head and on your scalp

design essentials: moisturizing oil

gel alternative

i personally enjoy this product and use it best by using a little water included on the edges and using the creams to slick the hair into a style and wrapping/typing everything down

this holds very well! no flaking, drying, or burning, or itchness and doesn't break the hair.
