The hard decision of Product choice

In the natural hair community there are a lot of different options when it comes to hair products. Which means you go through a lot of trial and error when finding the right one.

As I talked about before, in a previous blog your texture affects what type of products you need.

While products vary based on hair texture I advise you to make youtube your best friend if you are in search of new products. There are TONS of natural hair vloggers with all different types of textures that are constantly trying new products and reviewing them.

Youtube became my holy grail when it came to Natural hair. Although in doing research I have learned there’s a lot of GOOD products out there but also a lot of BAD ones.

In the beginning of my natural hair I didn’t focus on the quality of the product as much but mostly if it worked. But, if you want long, strongwomen, or healthy hair then ingredients do matter. Not going to lie, for it to work and have good ingredients it becomes a little pricey but your hair can become a big part of you so you’re investing in yourself!

I personally have made the transition to products that are more on the natural side. But tou do have…

Benzene

Diethanolamine (DEA) Triethanolamine (TEA)

Formaldehyde

Fragrance

Isopropyl Alcohol

Methylisothiazolinone

Mineral Oil and Petroleum

Parabens

Phthalates

Retinol

Retinyl Palmitate

Sulfates

Common sulfates: Sodium Lauryl SulfateSodium Laureth SulfateAmmonium Lauryl Sulfate

Synthetic colors

Toluene

Triclosan

I know it’s a long list but better to be safe than sorry!
