Tight Curls
Check out what other BGLHers are using in their hair. Entries are categorized according to texture and are updated often!
Kiki
Straight Request Silky Milk Foaming Lotion
I use this for my roller sets, twists, sets, wash-n-g, just about anything! I add a little oil to the bottle to give a bit more moisture.
ECO Styler Gel
This is my tried and true gel for slicking down those edges and creating the neatest bun. I am heavy handed with this but it doesn’t build up or flake!
Healthy Sexy Hair Pumpkin Leave In Conditioner
This smells awesome. No matter what shampoo or conditioner I use I apply this before I start any style.
Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Repair Cream
I love this stuff for my twists. When I want a softer twist look or need my hair to dry faster than using the setting lotion I use Cantu. This pic is a Cantu style.
Organic Coconut Oil
This is my heart and soul. I apply this after I cleanse and condition my hair but before I add anything including leave in conditioner. It soaks in and gives my hair great sheen and moisture that lasts.
Tia
Suave Tropical Coconut Conditioner
Does a great job when co-washing, I also leave a little in for wash-n-gos and my hair stays soft all day
Dudu Osum Black Soap
I use it to clean my scalp. I get the clean feeling without the dry feeling
Shea Butter (raw)/Olive Oil
My favorite cold weather combo. It’s like my protective shield from the harsh winter air.
Coconut Oil
I just tried this and everything I heard about it was true, it has moved itself into a regular spot in my favorite product list
LeKair Cholesterol Plus
When I use this I mix in some peppermint oil, olive oil and whatever else my hair is craving at the time. I never use this product without “making it my own.”
Nina
Carol’s Daughter Tui Leave In Conditioner
Light, leave in conditioner that I use after the shower. It leaves me smelling like Mother Earth.
Carol’s Daughter Lisa’s Hair Elixir
I use this when I am going to detangle my mane. I put a dab on my hands and work it into my dry hair and then go about the arduous task of combing my hair. I also use this after washing and conditioning my hair as a way to replenish some of the oils that I have just washed away.
TreSemme Flawless Curls Extra Hold Mousse
Inexpensive mousse that is perfect for defining curls. It is quick drying and it does not contain alcohol. It does leave curls a little on the crunchy side, but the definition it gives curls is impeccable.
Paul Mitchell Super Sculpt
One of my all time favorites. It kind of has a slimy consistency. It is just the right amount of thickness and the results are amazing. It holds, defines, and doesn’t leave curls crunchy. It is also PERFECT for achieving that slicked back, chignon look.
Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam
Another great foam that holds, defines, and leaves curls soft. I use this one and the other mousse primarily in the winter months. Both Paul Mitchell products can be used on wet or dry hair.
T
Black castor oil
My hair LOVES castor oil. Whenever I put in on the ends of my hair, they curl up and my hair is extra moisturized!
Hairveda whipped cream
My hair loves this stuff and guess what’s one of the top ingredients? Castor oil! I use this as one of the products when I twist my hair wet.
Hairveda whipped gelly
Another fav of my hair. I use this after I apply the whipped cream. My hair is really soft and needs a product that can provide hold, but not make my hair hard.
Oyin handmade burnt sugar pomade
Another one with castor oil among the top ingredients. This stuff is awesome when used to lay may edges down. I wet my hairline, apply the pomade, tie a scarf around the it, and voila!
Anita grant’s cafe latte
This stuff works wonders. I decided to use it to re-twist my dry hair at night. When I took my hair down the next day I had the most defined and supple curls ever.
