My Staple Hair Products

8:47:00 AM 3 Comments A+ a-

I am often asked what my staple hair products are and I thought now was the perfect time to share a list of them with my readers. I am a HUGE fan of the Shea Moisture line because of their creamy products. It has taken me 8 months to realize that my hair responds better to creamy products, and not those that are oil-based or watery.  The Shea Moisture line is available at your local Target store or Amazon. Some of the other products that I use are readily available on Amazon as well and at your local beauty supply stores.



As you can see, I don't use very many things on my hair but those that I do allow me to achieve the results I desire. Do not get discouraged if you find your hair not responding well to a product. Do your research and experiment based on your curl type.

If you have thinning hair or to prevent thinning of the hair, massage this oil onto the scalp one to two times per day.

If I’m out of Shea Moisture conditioner, I will use this conditioner. Perfect for really dry hair.

OMG! I am in LOVE with Hello Hydration conditioner. I use the Shea Moisture cream as well when I braid my hair at night before wearing a bun. Good stuff. Where do you purchase your Jamaican Black Castor Oil?
