I’ve been asked what items to keep around to make caring for natural hair a little easier…
Some key things you will want to have on hand:
*To protect your hair at night*
Satin scarf or bonnet
Satin pillowcases
*For detangling & combing*
Medium/wide-toothed seamless comb
Shower comb
*Styling*
Hair pins/clips
Duck bill clips
Rollers/Flexi-rods
Metal-free ponytail holders
*Shampoo & conditioning*
Plastic shower cap (deep conditioning)
Moisturizing shampoo
Clarifying shampoo
Conditioner
Leave-in conditioner
Deep conditioner
*Moisturizing*
Water-based moisturizer
Oil sealant
*Trimming*
Hair shears
*Extras*
Hooded dryer
(If you must) Ceramic flat iron
Heat protectant
*PATIENCE*
Off the top of my head, these are the basics that you need to have in your arsenal. It seems like a lot at first glance…but I promise that it is not & that you probably have most of these things already!
