Good vs The Bad

Hey Dolls!


I want to talk about what products you will need to use in order to maintain healthy curls and retain length.

First thing when buying hair products you need to READ LABELS!! I cant stress how important reading labels on hair products are because there are many products out on the market that contain chemicals that is harsh to your natural hair.


Before purchasing any hair products for washing your hair or styling in the future read the ingredients on the packaging. If the product contains:

Alcohol can seriously dry and strip your hair of the natural oils your hair
Sulfates--sodium laurel sulfate, sodium, laureth sulfate, and ammonium laurel sulfate
Silicone's-- Conditioning  aides thats used in shampoos, conditioners, stylers, serums and glosssers that provide slip and shine. Most ingredients ending in “cone,” “col,” “conol” or “zane” are silicones. Non water-soluble silicones can eventually prevent the hair from absorbing sufficient water/moisture to remain hydrated, which can cause dry hair.

Do not! I repeat DO NOT buy the product....if you can help it.

I know, I know there are hair products that's sulfate free that can be quite pricey, but what would you rather pay for....quantity or quality?? (think about it)


When I first started transitioning I leaned on Carols Daughter hair products since that was the only product that I knew of that made sulfate, alcohol, and silicone free products.

Carols Daughter has a excellent line of products which can be purchased on www.carolsdaughter.com or in your local Sephora store. What's also neat about Carols Daughter is that they do cater to the transitioners and have a product especially for ladies that's in the transitioning stages.

The price for the kit is $40.00 on CarolsDaughter.com

If you want to go for a less expensive product here are a few suggestions: (in which I use all three products by the way)
