I was introduced to Gwen, the founder of
Naturalicious, earlier this year and she is such a joy to be around. While she is the first black woman to hold a patent for a natural hair product, her Hello Gorgeous Hair Care System was designed to cut down your wash day. Using this system, I got one of my
best twist outs to date!
My Favorite: Moroccan Rhassoul 5-n-1 Clay Treatment
Honey Baby Naturals

This brand found a special place in my heart after I learned the story behind the products. Founder Aisha Crump has been in the beauty industry working with several of the brands we know and love for over 15 years. In 2015 she decided to create her own hair and skin care products and they are some of my favorites - I use all of them. The
Honey Shea Hair Smoothie is how I achieved this
popular bantu knot out.
My Favorite: Knot my Honey Instant Detangler
Skinny and Co.
I randomly ran into the people at
Skinny and Co. at my previous job where I was writing an assignment for the magazine I worked for at the time. I love that they use the “five ingredients or less” rule for all of their products, so you know exactly what you’re going to get - no surprises. While this isn’t a brand specifically for curly hair, I love to use their coconut oil on my hair while styling and on my scalp as well.
My Favorite: Coconut oil. Get yours
here.
Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture
Remember that bangin’
wash n go I did back in September? I can credit that to the Madam CJ Walker Beauty Culture hair products. I never had much luck with wash n goes but the Coconut & Moringa Oils Hair Gel helped me gain some “wash n go confidence." I also got this awesome
twistout using another one of their styling products.
My Favorite: Frizz Fighting Coconut & Moringa Oils Humidity Block Curl Gel
Urbanaire Gypsy
Talk about something that’s meant to be: I met Stacy, the founder of
Urbanaire Gypsy at the Taliah Waajid Natural Hair Expo in Atlanta earlier this year. We chatted for a while and I tried out her line of products. She has one of the best no shampoo, clay cleansers on the market, and that’s the truth. It smells like chocolate first off, and it cleanses your hair without stripping your natural oils.
My Favorite: Cray Cray Clay Co-Wash
