My Top 5 Favorite Natural Hair Youtubers

It is nice to watch Youtube and find other natural curly girls with the same hair texture as you but, you should not get caught up and think that your curls will look exactly like theirs. You can use their Youtube channels as a reference and can see what products and methods work for them. You should remember that just because you have the same hair texture that what works for them might not work for you and vice versa. I have 3c/4a hair and these are some of the natural hair youtubers I like to watch.

Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Cream-to-Serum Lotion

I have a product review on the Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Cream-to-Serum Lotion. If you are looking for a moisturizer or a leave-in for your curls you should give this a try. It has amazing slip and could also be used as a detangler. I would not recommend using for a styler the texture is like a thinner conditioner. I like the smell it smells like a perfume but it is not over powering and the smell does not linger after your hair dries. This product contains no Parabens, Petroleum, Mineral Oil, or Artificial Colors. The packing say it is suppose to nourish and condition the hair which I feel that it does. The main ingredients are, Agave, Mango Butter, and Meadow foam Oil. A little goes a long way, I use this product once a week and have had the same bottle for 2 months and I am only half way through the bottle. It also defines the curls really well. I have 3c/4a textured curls if you also have a looser curl pattern it would work great for you. If you have a tighter curl pattern and courser textured hair it might not be enough moisture for you but, you could still give it a try. The only con I have is the size I wish it came in multiple sizes, the only size is a 4.2fl oz bottle for $10. I give this product a 9/10 and would definitely repurchase this product. You can find this product at Target, Walmart, beauty supply stores, and on the Carol's Daughter website.

5 Leave-ins for Dry Natural Hair

Curly hair is naturally dry but,  for some of us curly girls our hair seems dry no matter what you do. Here are some leave-ins that are great for dry natural hair and add moisture.

                                                                      1. Giovanni Direct Leave-In Conditioner- 8.5fl oz $7

This leave-in adds great moisture to those dry curls. It is packed full of oils such as Sunflower,Soybean,and Vitamin E. If you use gels like Eco Style this will not cause that annoying flaky white residue.

  

2. Kinky-Curly Knot Today- 8fl oz $12 

This leave-in is also a detangler that melts away those knots and tangles. If you have dense thick curly hair and are in need of a good detangler you should give this a try. Works at its best when applied to soaking wet hair and this will help smooth the hair cuticle. 

3. True Nourishing Leave-In Conditioner- 13fl oz $9

This sulfate free leave -in is super moisturizing and had a lot of great slip that makes detangling a breeze. This product contains Hydrolyzed Keratin, Mango oil, Shea butter, Coconut oil, and Aloe Vera. If you have low porosity or are protein sensitive I would opt for a different leave-in.

4. Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Cream-to-Serum Lotion- 4.2fl oz $10 

This silicone and protein packed leave-in is by far one of my favorites. A little goes a long way and it is easy to distribute. This product is so moisturizing and, even though it has silicons it does not create any build up. 

5. As I Am Leave-In Conditioner- 8fl oz $10 

This leave- in is perfect if you are looking for that extra moisture under you gel. It is packed full of natural ingredients. It leaves the hair soft and manageable. It is a little thicker than most leave ins but is easily distributed. If you have fine hair I would not recommend this product.
