I cannot count the number of times people have asked me “What do you do to your hair?” or “What do you use on your skin?”… When they hear my response they are often shocked that the list of products I use isn’t more extensive. Sometimes less is more. At least for me. Here are few things to note that may contribute to my success with these particular products:
1. I don’t wear make up at all. I used to wear mascara but that’s it and I can’t even remember the last time I used it.
2. I haven’t straightened my hair in quite a while so I don’t have heat damage like I used to and I strive to use hair products that suit my natural curly texture since that’s usually how I wear my hair.
3. I don’t mix products. I am consistent with what I use and I stick to those products. In the past I have used multiple different products at the same time and have found this to be ineffective.
These are the products that I have found to be most successful!
ECO Styler Gel
ECO Styler has never failed me! This is the only product that has successfully controlled my edges through rain, snow, and HEAT! I’ve tried using so many different edge controls and none of them could tame my hair like I desired. I not only use it on my edges but I sometimes just slightly add it throughout my entire hair if I want a particular look. The moment moisture hits my hair it goes back to its natural state. However, ECO Styler does great with my hair no matter the circumstance! One thing I must mention is that this is not a product i would use on my straightened hair. ECO Styler is water based and as mentioned previously, moisture brings my hair back to its natural state which might ruin the hairstyle depending on what look you are going for. I 100% recommend this product for natural hairstyles.
Carol’s Daughter black Vanilla Shampoo and Conditioner
I love my Carol’s Daughter Black Vanilla Shampoo & Conditioner! There have been products I’ve really loved but the smell was just not it or they left my hair feeling dry and brittle. Carol’s Daughter always leaves my hair feeling and looking nourished. I specifically like the Black Vanilla scent because it’s not overbearing but it has a subtle, soft, and clean fragrance. The conditioner is great for detangling my hair. No matter what, I try to detangle my hair every 2-3 days at least. I used to dread this process because it was very time consuming and sometimes a little painful. This conditioner combined with my increased detangling routine has definitely made this process more enjoyable. Side note… As my hair has taken on a different texture over the past year, my curls are more defined and easier to lock up. The longer I wait to detangle, the tougher it is.
Burt’s Bees Face Wipes Cucumber (Normal to dry skin)
I literally don’t use anything else on my face! I use a wipe usually every morning but sometimes I’ll use one at night depending on my day. These wipes always leave my skin feeling so refreshed. My skin can be a little sensitive when it comes to rags or tissue but these are super soft and smooth. When I run out and forget to get new ones I can definitely see and feel the difference. My face gets dry and bumps sometimes appear. Sometimes it’s difficult to see the results of a product but these wipes have proven themselves since I started using them about 2 years ago. Also, the packaging is simple and great for traveling. You can also find a smaller travel size if need be!
