Hair Loves Part 1: Everyday Routine

So I've been currently trying to find the right products to work with the kinky coily mess on the top of my head. Don't get me wrong, I actually like my hair, but seeing as how its only about two inches in length, its kind of hard to get the right definition without being overly greasy or extremely dry.


However there are a few products that I am loving right now, in addition to a couple of basic staples everyone should have in their beauty closet.


Lets start with the basics every girl should have one of the following in their bathroom. It doesn't have to be these specific brands, but the basis of them is still needed.


1. Deep Conditioner. A deep conditioner is important for any type of hair because it strengthens and mosturizes your cuticles as well as replenishes your hair especially if you use heat products a lot. I personally love Creme of Nature's Jojoba Oil & Olive Oil Moisture Active Deep Conditioning Treatment. I put this in my hair once or twice a week and wash it out after twenty minutes. Sometimes I even leave it in overnight and its perfect because it leaves my hair feeling nourished, but not oily.

2. Leave-in Conditioner A leave-in conditioner protects and nourishes your hair all day and tames normally frizzy hair. Me and my sister-in-law are firm believers that any conditioner could be a leave-in no matter the instructions. I like to use Aussie Moist to co-wash with and sometimes leave in, or Cantu Shea Butter leave-in for everyday use. These two define my curls without leaving them dry or crunchy. I also like the Aphogree Keratin and Green Tea Restructerizer as a leave in because its a spray versus a heavier cream. I use this after I've just done a deep conditioner to make sure I don't over condition my hair.

3. Protective Oil I put a oil in my hair while its still wet to help further define my coils. Doo Gro Stimulating Growth Oil is my favorite because you can heat it up and give yourself a hot oil treatment, too.

These are the products I use everyday without fail. The make my hair manageable and keep my curls full of defnition and moisture.
