My Top 5 Staple Natural Hair Products

Today ladies, (and gentlemen), I want to talk to you about a few of my staple hair products that I use for my natural hair. I know when I first decided to go natural, I searched for what other naturals used on their hair just to give me an idea for what was out there and available to me. Of course everyone's hair texture and curl pattern is different so please, find the products that work for you. Also keep in mind that there are so many other great products out there, some I've tried and some I am waiting to try. But here are my five favorites so far.

#1: Beautiful Textures Products: I absolutely love, love, love these products. They provide the type of moisture that my hair has been longing for, for years. I definitely recommend these products to any and everyone that I talk to. Even if they have not gone natural. These products are amazing!

#2: Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise: This product leaves my hair shining and very moisturized. It is enriched with natural herb extracts, vitamins, and egg protein. I can definitely tell the difference in the strength of my hair since I have been using this product. 

#3: Organic Coconut Oil: This product is a must have ladies! I have not had any itching or dandruff since using this product. It smells great, coats my ends very nicely and keeps my moisture in for weeks. I recommend that if you have not tried this product to please give it a chance you will definitely be pleasantly surprised.

#4: Wide Tooth Comb and Denman Brush: These two products are great for detangling natural hair. The wide bristles on the brush and comb help ensure you don't pull out or break off your hair. Great products for everyday use.

#5: Butterfly Clips: Last but not least, my fifth favorite product is butterfly clips. Like the Denman brush and wide tooth comb, butterfly clips help with the detangling process. They hold back your hair in sections as you detangle. I recommend this product to everyone as well. They are definitely a staple in my home.

I hope you guys have enjoyed reading about some of my favorite products and I hope I have helped someone new who may be thinking of going natural. What are some of your favorite products? Do we share some of the same favorites? Let me know. Until next time!

Summer Heat and Natural Hair

So, Summer is here and the heat is on! One of the great perks of going natural, is being able to do low maintenance, no fuss hair styles in any kind of weather. But that doesn't mean that we don't still have to protect our beautiful hair from the heat of the Sun. Here are a few tips that will help you prepare for your day to day encounter with the elements. 

• Always, ALWAYS, moisturize your hair. It doesn't matter if you just deep conditioned your hair the night before, make sure when you are doing your styling that you use a leave in, and moisturizer on your hair. The leave in will help protect your hair from heat damage from the sun, and the moisturizer will give your hair that hydration that is needs in order to remain healthy and not become brittle and dry. My leave in of choice is Beautiful Textures Tangle Taming Leave- In 

• Use protective styles and/or accessories. A protective style can go a long way and can last for months depending on the style. Micros, Seneglese twists, tuck and rolls, two strand twists, and up do's are all great protective styles that are easy to maintain and will lasts for days, weeks and even months. Some cool accessories to use on a hot Summer's day are silk scarfs, hats or beanies. 

Remember its great to get out and enjoy the sun, but its very important and necessary to protect your beautiful hair from getting heat damage.
