The 12 Must- Have Products and Tools for Relaxed Hair
If you are a newbie to your hair care journey, you may wonder whether or not you have in your possession the necessities for a healthy hair care experience. In any hair care journey, whether natural or relaxed, of course, there are items needed to guarantee success. You need to keep the following items on hand at all times if you care for your own hair, and do not visit a hair care professional regularly. The list provided is what has ensured me a successful relaxed hair care journey!
- A wide tooth comb-it detangles your hair without pulling it out in the process.

- A good deep conditioner (moisturizing)-Use this weekly.
- A protein conditioner (for use as needed) I only use once a month or if my hair needs emergency treatment.
- A moisturizing shampoo-If you are a co-washer, then you may be able to leave this item off.
- A clarifying shampoo- this is especially needed to remove product buildup. I only use it twice a month, as it strips the hair of its natural oils.
- Leave in conditioner-You can apply most leave ins on a daily basis for stronger hair that is more resistant to environmental damage as well as protecting your hair from heat.
- A hooded dryer or a hair steamer-you need to have these tools for deep conditioning. Hooded dryers are indirect heat which is less damaging than direct heat for styling, and can be used for achieving styles such as roller sets and wraps.

- A good moisturizer-Your hair needs to be moisturized anywhere from daily to every other day, as needed.
- Oils for sealing in moisture-Natural oils are best; i.e. Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut oil, Jojoba oils, etc.
- A quality pair of shears for trimming ends. Regular scissors are not designed for trimming hair and will damage your ends.

- Plastic caps to be used for deep conditioning.
- Satin bonnet or scarf for sleeping at night-This is how you will keep your hair on your head, and not on the pillow!
I hope that this list has been of some assistance in establishing a hair care routine and acquiring the necessities for doing so. Happy hair growing!

What is the difference between a leave-in conditioner and a moisturizer?
Thanks

Now, it is important to read labels and see what the product makes claims to do and to also read ingredient labels first…but basically:
A leave in serves as a conditioner. It just helps to strengthen or repair the hair. It does not usually moisturize the hair.
Whereas, a moisturizer serves the purpose of actually providing moisture for the hair. Now some do both, like the NTM leave in moisturizer. But I actually prefer either or, not two in one. HTH, VERA!
