My Staple Products (Updated!)
It's been awhile since I updated my staple products list so I figured now would be a great time to tell you what I'm using these days. There are a few products that have been removed since I don't use them with the same frequency as before. If I've learned anything during my natural hair journey, it's that you must adapt as your hair changes. What my hair used to respond to, it may no longer do so. I've also found that the less products I use, the more my hair grows. One thing I suggest you never skimp on is a good deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner and moisturizer.With winter here, my main concern is moisture. I now do weekly deep conditioning and try to keep my hair in a protective style throughout the week to avoid the harsh, cold air. If you have the heat cranked up in your home, make sure you have a humidifier to help keep moisture in the air so your strands don't get too dry.
