2. SHAMPOO
SHEA MOISTURE: JAMAICAN BLACK
CASTOR OIL
This Sulfate Free Shampoo will never leave
your hair feeling dry. If co-washing is not for
you, this is a perfect alternative. You still get
that lather without stripping your hair of the
natural oils that strengthen it. This shampoo
contains Jamaican black castor oil for
moisture and healthy hair growth and apple
cider vinegar for clarification and balancing
out pH levels.

3. SHAMPOO
TRESEMME: FLAWLESS CURLS
I was surprised by how moisturized the
shampoo & conditioner from this line made
my hair feel. I use this when I feel that my hair
needs a deeper clean. The conditioner gives
you a lot of slip while detangling your hair. I
usually alternate between this and a Shae
Moisture shampoo and conditioner.

4. CONDITION
ORGANIX: MOROCCAN ARGAN OIL
I love pretty much any product form the
Organix line. This is a great conditioner for
frequent use. It is sulfate free and is infused
with argan oil, which leaves your hair feeling
moisturized & healthy.
COST: $6

5. CONDITION
LA PLANCHA: DEEP CONDITIONER
I discovered this product while in the
Dominican Republic. It leaves your hair feeling
unbelievably soft and makes detangling very
easy. The best way to use it would be to put it
in your hair and get under the dryer for a
couple of minutes. Although it still works
wonders without heat. I especially
recommend this product if you plan on
straightening your hair.
COST: $10

6. CONDITION
SPECTRUM: ORGANIC COCONUT OIL
If your hair is in need of some very serious
repair, I definitely recommend coconut oil.
Apply it while your hair is still dry, put your
hair in a bun and put on a plastic cap to avoid
getting oil on everything. You should leave
this on for a couple of hours before washing
your hair thoroughly. Your hair will be soft and
beautiful. You can also use coconut oil as eye
makeup remover!

7. STYLE
SHEA MOISTURE: CURL ENHANCING
SMOOTHIE
I think most curly girls agree on this one. I
apply this as a leave in right after washing my
hair. It helps your curls stay moisturizes for
days. Try to apply this evenly and generously.
COST: $12
AT MOST MAJOR DRUGSTORES
8. STYLE
SHEA MOISTURE: CURL ENHANCING
SMOOTHIE
This is a less expensive version of Shea
Moisture's Curl Enhancing Smoothie that
works just as well. This one is not as thick as
Shea Moisture's version so you can apply
more. I would recommend this if you do not
like feeling like you have a heavy amount of
product in your hair or if your curls aren't too
dry.
COST: $6
AT MOST MAJOR DRUGSTORES
9. STYLE
GARNIER: PURE CLEAR GEL
I know, it's not the 90s. However, if you require
a bit of hold to tame the beast on your head I
recommend using this product. It is very light
and will not make your hair stiff or hard. Use
this sparingly after applying a good leave in
conditioner.
COST: $3
