Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog.
Over Easter weekend, I posted a boomerang to my Instagram stories showing my natural hair blown out. It received much love and a couple of questions about what products I use, so I decided to make a whole blog post about it.
I think I have type 4B/4C natural hair, which I still have not found the right hair type I have, but overall my hair is super kinky, coily, and curly, so I have to use certain products along with specific hair methods to make it flourish.
I made a prior blog post about my wash day routine (which you can check out right here) but didn't go into full detail about the products that I use, so in this post, I will explain why I like and use each product.
Shampoo
Okay, you all, let's start with the shampoo. At first, I didn't care about what shampoo I used as long as it just cleansed my scalp, but lately, I have been using the Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo by SheaMoisture it changed my life. So Jamaican Black Castor Oil is said to thicken/strengthen your hair and help it grow, and my hair has grown a lot over the past year.
When using this shampoo, I like to do with it because after I apply it to my scalp, I like to massage my scalp in circular motions because I hear that it can help promote hair growth. So if you are looking for a perfect shampoo, then I highly recommend this one.
Deep Conditioners
If you are not already, I highly recommend deep conditioning for all my curly girls. Deep Conditioning helps prevent damage and bring some moisture back to your hair. My favorite deep conditioners are the 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Rehydration Treatment Masque and the Yucca & Plantain Anti-Breakage Strengthening Masque. I usually do because, after shampoo, I will apply the deep conditioner while twisting my hair. I will usually let it sit for about ten minutes if I need to go faster or forty-five minutes if I have some time on my hands. The moisture comes right back to my hair, and upon rinsing, I can feel the softness.
Conditioners
I use conditioner to detangle my hair because the more curly your hair is, the more tangled it gets. I use the Aussie Moist Conditioner because it moisturizes my hair as well, and it's a huge bottle with a lot of conditioner in it for a relatively low price of around five dollars. Also, it has a little pump which makes it easier to use when washing. I'm just pointing out little details, but it matters when it comes to wash day.
Leave-In Conditioners
Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Protein Power Treatment by SheaMouisture
When my hair is extremely dry and damaged, I like to use a protein treatment to help bring back life to my hair. With that being said, I use and have only used the Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Protein Power Treatment by SheaMouisture. After I use this treatment, my hair feels super moisturized, but my curls are super defined. I want to try out other protein treatments, but I'm very content with this one.
