Natural’s Paradise

Written by: Cameron-Vale Gee

A lot of people I know have problems finding the right products that work for their 3a to 4c hair after cutting out perms and going completely natural. 3a hair is a somewhat loose curl pattern while 4c is a very tight, coarse set of coil hair. These types of hair textures have more of a difficult time finding products that work because they aren't advertise enough. Sometimes your hair becomes dry because the products don’t work for your hair type, or damaged because you have overly used the wrong type of products. Here are a couple different products that I use for myself that should be given a try:

Squeaky Cleansers

First I use Crème of Nature’s Argan Oil Moisture & Shine Shampoo (left). I use this shampoo because I get a nice lather that allows it to get clean. I use my scalp massager so that I can get the shampoo more on my scalp and it also helps to promote hair growth.

Once I have done that at least twice, I follow up with the Intensive Conditioning Treatment (middle) from the same brand and allow that to sit on my hair for at least 10 minutes. Both of these products are sulfate and alcohol free which strengthens the hair.
When I don't feel like going through the 2 step process of shampooing and conditioning, I use the Pure-Licious Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner (right) that cleanses deeply and leaves my hair nourished. 

On days that I want to give my hair more moisture, I will replace my Argan Oil conditioner with Eco Style Black Castor Oil & Flaxseed Oil Deep Conditioning Therapy. I leave this product on my hair for at least 30 to 45 minutes under a plastic cover. After rinsing out my hair is shiny and soft to the touch.

Poppin’ Stylers

To make sure that my hair stays soft to the touch and moisturized, I use my favorite product: Eco Black Castor & Flaxseed Leave-in Conditioner that adds volume, detangles and controls frizz.

Last but certainly not least: Creme Of Nature Argan Oil Pudding Perfection Curl Enhancing Crème. I use this product to master my twist out or any protective style that involves pinning my hair up. This gives my curls the pop that they deserve.
