6. Organic Shea Butter by Sky Organics
Ingredients shoutout: Raw shea butter
Shea butter is among the best-known and best-loved natural hair products for curly hair. It is a wonderful moisturizer thanks to its beneficial fatty acids. You get all of their goodness with this USDA-certified organic, 100% pure, and unrefined shea butter.
7. Curls Blueberry Hair Growth Oil
Ingredients shoutout: Blueberry extract, pomegranate seed, argan oil, and gardenia flower oil
Growth and length retention are two of the main goals of natural hair care for textured hair. This growth oil helps in both respects by nourishing the scalp (the “soil” from which your hair grows) and preventing breakage along the strands. It also sets to work repairing the damage that’s already been done.
8. Kreyòl Essence Pure Haitian Black Castor Oil
Ingredients shoutout: Castor oil
There is no doubt that oils are some of the best products for curly hair care. The sebum our scalp naturally produces has a hard time making it along the hair shaft to lubricate and protect the strands. Natural hair oils, like castor oil, help to do the job of sebum while also bringing along some of their own benefits for hair growth.
