1️⃣ DETANGLING TOOLS

Detangling tools are invaluable for stubborn knots and tangles, but their usefulness doesn’t stop there. Combs, picks, and brushes are versatile tools for boosting volume, evenly distributing products, simplifying wash days, and making styling effortless. Do you have these essentials in your hair care arsenal? If not, it’s time to add them to your collection!

Top tools:

  • Wide tooth comb
  • Fro pick
  • Defining brushes
  • Your fingers

Good to note: when detangling your delicate curls, always do so when curls are wet to damp and ensure you start from the ends and work your way up gently and gradually. To minimise breakage, comb your curls using a conditioner that gives a lot of slip.

 

2️⃣ HEAT CAP / STEAMER

Deep conditioning is a crucial step in any natural hair care routine, and it becomes significantly more effective when incorporating a steamer or heat cap.
These tools are not only ideal for deep conditioning but also for hot oil, pre-poo, and protein treatments.
Using a steamer or heat cap can help soften and moisturize your hair cuticles, and aid product absorption.
For those who prefer a DIY approach, a standard shower cap can also serve the purpose. Another method is to let the heat and steam from your shower naturally condition and open your hair cuticles.

 

3️⃣ SATIN SLEEPWEAR & ACCESSORIES

Incorporating a satin head scarf or bonnet into your haircare routine is essential. Not only does the material help keep your style intact, it also helps protect your curls from friction created by using a cotton pillow case.
Satin pillowcases are particularly effective in keeping your kinks, coils, and curls moisturized and free from frizz. They also serve as a reliable backup in case your headscarf slips off during the night.
Additionally, you can opt to secure your curls in a pineapple style using Satin Scrunchies and rest comfortably on a satin pillowcase.

 

4️⃣ SPRAY BOTTLE

A spray bottle is an essential tool for ensuring your hair stays adequately moisturized before styling. Plus, it simplifies the process of refreshing your hair because you can avoid rewetting your entire mane and maintain control over the level of dampness.

 

5️⃣ GENTLE CURL TOWEL

Significantly reduce frizz, deter breakage and retain moisture from your wash day by using a gentle, curl-specific towel.
Gentle Cotton Curl Towel is super smooth to minimize friction and it’s great for plopping too!
