What I needed to get
•
A seamless, WIDE toothed comb (for detangling)
•
A gentle, sulfate-free shampoo (sulfates are much
harsher on already drier, curly African hair)
•
A good leave in conditioner - My personal fave - ' Kinky Curly
Knot-today ‘ leave-in (LI) conditioner
•
A satin scarf for my head (to sleep in to protect hair from frictional breakage)
Just the way mama insisted when I was a little girl!
•
Lots of oils- Jojoba, Coconut, Tea-tree , Shea butter & Olive oil are my favourites (be sure to get 100% oils or
organic when possible). Remember oils are not moisturisers, they simply lock in moisture & help with moisture
retention.The aforementioned oils are excellent for both skin & hair.
NB to always very carefully read the contraindication for the use of essential oils, as these oils are very strong
& may not always be suitable under certain circumstances.
•
A spray bottle to mix my conditioner & water , for better & more even distribution on my hair.
•
A diffuser for my hair dryer .
