Maryam and I may or may not have a product junkie problem. Lol! Well not a problem but a high interest in using what works for our hair and flair for trying new things. Thanks to our parents for that one! Because we have fine strands, not"everything" will work in our hair. There are many products that easily weigh our hair down and give us build up. We are big fans of oils and leave-in conditioners. They provide moisture as well as act as a styler.
You might wonder... What qualifies as a great product?! Well...It must be thin enough that it does weigh down,moderately priced (we have so many strands,we run through products), protects the hair, minimizes frizz and adds volume is always a plus. We have used this product exploration to our benefit. Not only have found what works for our hair but we have been able to become an expert to our friends and family (even strangers on the street) on the benefits of various products.

Maryam's Top 5 Hair Products
1. Argan Oil - This is my favorite oil to massage into my scalpabout 2-3 per week and on my ends before I go to sleep every night. Itmoisturizes and fights split ends.
2. CastorOil - this is such a great product to seal in moisture. I actually became a ware of this product through Kam. Don't be turned off by how thick this natural product is, results when used to seal the ends of your hair are amazing.
3. Water-I know this is so cliche, but H20 is the truth and the light. It can take things from gumby status to manageable locks. Not to mention its great for your hair when combined with great products and a wonderful sealant.
4. SheaButter- this is my favorite product hands down. It is really great as a pre-poo, wonderful to bring moisture to hair, and great for the skin. Filled with great vitamins like A (protectant), E (healing), and F ( Shine and Strength). This really is a must have, and it's great because a little goes along way.
5. MBP Q & S Pelamos Cinnamon Leave-In Conditioner - so this became a favorite of mine after Kam's inner product junkie snatched this from a friend, which I later inherited. This product is amazing! It proves you don't have to spend a lot on a hair product for moisture. The only drawback Is this is a very hard product to find. It took me on a quest through Providence to even did it. But I did and it was so worth it.
Kam's Top 5 Hair Products
1. Ouidad Moisture Lock – This leave in conditioner is a new favorite of mine. It does just what it says…locks in moisture. I also love the feel of it…not too thick not too thin. The only disadvantage this product has is that it has a sticker price of $22.00 for a 8.5 ounce bottle *phew*
2. Shea Moisture Organic Yucca & Baobab Thickening Conditioner – after using the Curl Enhancing Smoothie made by this same brand, I had almost written off Shea Moisture because it didn't work for me. On a whim I purchased this product and it gave me sooo much volume. LOVE!
3. CoconutOil – this product is my lifeline aside from Castor Oil! I use Coconut Oil as a pre-poo to detangle and loosen up my hair. Usually by wash day… my hair is screaming to be cleansed and detangle; this makes it so seamless for a“tender-headed” natural; all while give you loads of moisture.
4. Silicon Mix Leave In Conditioner – gives me a healthy dose of protein. It smells delicious and melts into hair. A little bit goes a long way.I can’t exactly tell you what is in this product other than silk proteins because it’s all in Spanish but its works great!
5. Banana Clips – I know what you are thinking… Banana clips aren't products. However they area natural’s best friend. Sometimes when styling….you need the hair OUT OF THE WAY!
As you can see...we love products... What products have you experimented with and love...or could do without?
Smile,
Kam :)
