So have have not been buying a lot of products as of late, but I’ve been loving a few items. I usually wash and condition every other week. The process is done in four sections. I wear my hair in a protective style for one week then as a twist-out/bun for the next. I definitely will be experimenting with more styles this year! So here’s what’s hot with me!!
- Prepoo: Organic Coconut oil. Just applied to my strands a few hours before washing.
- Shampoo: Well I stopped using regular sulphate shampoo years ago, and I have been loving the Shea Moisture Organic Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo. My hair never feels dry with this product!

- Apple Cider Vinegar Mix: 1 part ACV to 3 parts water, to help smooth the hair shaft and to provide extra cleansing.
- Aubrey Organics Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner in Rosemary Peppermint: I get this one at Whole Foods. I usually protein condition 1 or 2 times a month and I always follow with a moisturizing conditioner.

- Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner: my moisturizing conditioner. I apply it in sections and leave it in for at least an hour, then I get to detangling with my fingers and my wide-toothed comb. After detangling, I then rinse it out.

- Kinky Curly Knot Today: Leave-in conditioner. I really, really like this product!! Lightweight, non-sticky and it keeps my hair supple. (Available at Body Beautiful on D’Avenue in Woodbrook).
Knot Today!
- Oyin Handmade Whipped Pudding: Creamy moisturizer. Smells like chocolate and I love it!

- Oyin Handmade Shine and Define: To help maintain the curl especially at the ends.

- Oyin Handmade Burnt Sugar Pomade: Sealing in the moisture and slicking back my edges. This is the best smelling thing ever!!! I’ll never let this go!

- If my hair dries out while I’m twisting, I spray on a mix of water, aloe vera juice and vegetable glycerine.
- To help take out my twists or just to add extra shine, I use organic coconut oil or Karen’s Body Beautiful Sweet Ambrosia or Oyin’s Juices and Berries.
That’s it!
What are you guys loving right now?? Any suggestions for products that I should try?
is that Mike Tyson? Whole foods sells Kinky Curly products. Tried it on Liv’s hair. I’m not crazy about the custard, but the detangler is pretty darn good.
Hey Marth! I have not tried the curling custard yet. I hear that application techinque is key, but the Knot Today is pretty darn good!
