Hey Gems,

If you are new to my blog, I am doing a series where I share all things related to my 4C kinky hair. Every Wednesday I will drop a new post related to my 4C crown, leave a comment below I want this to be interactive!

So last week I shared with you all my wash day routine. This week I wanted to focus in on the brands I chose and what my favorite products are.

1. De La Cruz – Sweet Almond Oil
I had no honest reason for choosing this brand other than it was in the herbal section at Kroger and I was on a hunt for almond oil that wasn’t at the beauty supply store. Yes, I know I could have gone to Whole Foods and looked in their natural section but I’m a bit frugal. Plus, if I fell in love with the product I didn’t want to spend over $10 for 2 oz of product. This oil smells soo good yall, must be why it’s labeled sweet! It doesn’t have that bland boring smell like olive oil and its one of the lighter oils I use for my pre-poo step.

Benefits:
– Nourishes and Strengthens Hair
– Keeps hair from splitting
– Promotes hair growth

2. Organix – Renewing Argan Oil & Morocco Extra Penetrating Oil
I discovered this product in college and I haven’t let it go since. This is another oil that is light and has a sweet scent to it. I use this all the time after I wash my weaves too. It helps with all the stubborn flyaways I may have in my wefts. Ladies, oil your hair and scalp but don’t over do it.

Argan Oil Benefits
– Hair growth
– Tame frizz and fly-aways
– Hair Glow: Yes your hair needs to shine bright!

3. Design Essentials Natural – Coconut Milk Leave – In Nourisher
I swear I talk about this brand too much, they should start paying me for my reviews! Hello! I fell in love with this brand when my hair stylist introduced me to it. Hey girl! This particular brands philosophy is “improving the look and feel of your hair by providing healthy hair styling products that address and satisfy your specific hair needs”. There is honestly nothing more I need to say on this because this brand has a vast amount of products that I have and use and more that I want to try out. This particular leave-in product will run you about $12.99 but if it works for your hair why not.

4. Creme of Nature with Argan Oil from Morocco Argan Buttermilk
Do you all notice my overall theme when it comes to products? This is the second product that contains argan oil. I mentioned in my last post this is the cream that I use in my LOC/LCO method. It smells good and this is a staple product in my collection. I have a number of Creme of Nature products in my product cart including their moisturizing milk masque, intensive conditioning treatment, and strength and shine leave in-conditioner.

5. Cantu Shea Butter for Natural Hair – Deep Treatment Masque
I mentioned above I use Creme of Natures intensive conditioning treatment but this product above by Cantu Shea Butter is right there in the running for first place. My hair comes out very soft and smells amazing. I have a thing for smell goods and this includes my hair. The Cantu brand is a very affordable brand that I started out with when I went back to my natural state and I see it staying for while. Other great products from this brand is their conditioning co-wash and shampoo/conditioner duo. I love love love Cantu!
