Many new naturals are left with a counter full of products for relaxed
hair that no longer work on their newly chemical free tresses. One of
the most common questions I hear is: “What products will keep my
natural hair soft and moisturized?” Well below are a few fav's that are
easy on the pockets and easy to use..

Carol’s Daughter

Carol’s Daughter is one of the most prominent names in natural hair
care products, and with good reason. The company produces high quality,
nature based products for hair and skin. Recently, Will Smith, Jada
Pinkett-Smith and others invested 10 million dollars in the company,
which has led to an expanded product line and more advanced website.

My favorite Carol’s Daughter product is Healthy Hair Butter, which is a
soft creamy hair dress based in shea butter and almond oil, with
lavender, ylang ylang, and rosemary essential oils. It smells heavenly,
enhances the natural coil of the hair, and keeps it soft. It also
provides a gentle hold that will keep your style in place all day.
Apply a small amount to damp hair and massage in for best results.

Other Carol’s Daughter products to try: Tui Hair Oil, Hair Milk

Healthy Hair Butter - $12.50
Tui Hair Oil - $8.00
Hair Milk - $10.00
www.CarolsDaughter.com
Oyin Handmade

Oyin Handmade is an up and coming natural hair and skin product
producer, which is quickly gaining popularity among naturals. The
company’s down to earth presentation and personal touch account for
much of its appeal – but the products are also unique and what’s
better, they work!

initially tried a sample of Greg Juice on my locs, and it was the first
product that was able to keep my ultra dry hair moisturized. It is
based in spring water, glycerin, and aloe, and kicked up with an
essential oil blend that will have your hair smelling great and feeling
soft. The product is free of carrier oils, so it is a great alternative
for those who find that oils don’t work well with their hair. Greg
Juice also works best when sprayed on damp hair, and a little goes a
long way.

Other Oyin Handmade products to try: Honey Hemp Conditioner, Shine &
Define Styling Serum

Greg Juice - $9.00
Honey Hemp Conditioner - $9.00
Shine & Define Styling Serum - $5.50

Burt’s Bees

Take one look at the funny looking guy with the scruffy beard on most
of Burt’s Bees products, and you may not guess that this line of
products works great for black natural hair. Upon closer inspection,
the line includes several products that are well suited for the
chemically challenged.

The Rosemary Mint Shampoo bar is perfect for those of us with thick
hair and a lot of it. It provides much better control than liquids that
end up all over the bathtub floor, and allows you to get into all the
little nooks and crannies between your coils, locs, or braids. It’s 99%
natural, and the peppermint acts as a scalp stimulator and aromatherapy
experience all in one. You may need to use this shampoo bar a few times
to get the full effect, as it will gradually remove all of the product
build up that may be in your hair. It will leave your hair just about
squeaky clean, so follow up with a light oil to rehydrate your coils.

Other Burt’s Bees products to try: Super Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar
Beet Shampoo and Conditioner

Rosemary Mint Shampoo Bar - $6.00
Super Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar Beet Shampoo - $8.00
Super Shiny Grapefruit and Sugar Beet Conditioner - $8.00
www.BurtsBees.com

When you are newly natural, you may have to try many different products
to find out what works best on your unique tresses. This process can be
frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. Look at it as a fun and
exciting part of your natural journey - the above suggestions are a
great place to start. Try purchasing sample packs from websites or
stores, so that you can try small quantities of various products as you
determine what works best for you. Visit www.Nappturality.com’s Swap
and Sell Board for discounted or free-to-swap products. Enjoy, and try
not to become a product junkie!

Re: Thinning Edges...
IMHO, if your hair is thinning, you could try some transitional styles like rod
sets and twist outs where you have minimal manipulation of your tresses.
Personally, I am so OVER hair! Its overrated and it will grow back. Cut it off
and start your natural journey! Again...IMHO

My saving grace transition style was the twist out. You put your hair in small
to medium two-strand twist using a holding products and roll the ends. I stopped
using mass market hair care products after researching and finding that some
products are unhealthy and begin using all natural products. My hair is more
healthy than it has ever been in my entire life.

Hi Keep_her76,

Thinning edges is a huge epidemic in the African American Women who use
relaxers, wigs and braids too much.� I would suggest that you go to
www.girlgetyourhairback.com and sign up�for the free article for African
American�Women and hair loss.� The website also has weekly blogs abotu black
hair.� Another person also suggested the twist out.��I wear my hair like that
too and it has helped my hair tremendously.
�Namaste~Valonne
