I love my hair. Wait, let me rephrase that. I loooove my hair! Ever since I realized I had hair, I was always playing in it.

As a kid, I even collected loads of Barbies so I could experiment with their hair. I would roll their hair up with setting lotion and bobby pins, straws, pencils, you name it. I even kept a flashlight under my bed so I could style my Barbies’ hair under the covers at night. So this is a deep-seated passion I’m talking about, not some passing fancy.

But believe me, it ain’t all roses!

I happen to have thick, THICK hair, which means it requires more time and attention. As if I need to spend any more time and attention on my hair! Can you relate?

Over the years, I have sampled enough hair products for the population of a small third world country. Here is my list of WHAT WORKS, and what I find myself going back to time and time again.

My absolute favorite kind of hair products are Dominican hair products from the Dominican Republic, as well as hair products from Brazil.

The Dominican and Brazilian manufacturers use a wide range of natural ingredients in their products such as avocado, coconut, mango, pure aloe vera, etc.
AND THEIR PRODUCTS PERFORM. They really do. And don’t get me started on Dominican hair salons!

Since many Dominican and Brazilian hair products are inexpensive, you have the benefit of affordable quality. What’s not to love?!

My favorite Brazilian line is Kan Kanechomn.

Next in line would be Ojon haircare. Their most well-known product is Ojon’s Restorative Hair Treatment. Truly like butter!

It would take me forever to explain the history behind Ojon’s superb products, so per their site:

“Restore your hair’s natural beauty with this ancient native secret from the remote tropical forests of Central America.

For over 500 years, this secret to remarkably healthy hair has been hidden in the rare oil of the tropical Ojon™ tree known only to the Tawira indians who are referred to as “the people of beautiful hair.”™

The secret to their beautiful hair and skin is Ojon™, a rich exotic oil extracted from the tropical Ojon™ tree. This unique tree grows only in the rainforest of the Mosquitia region of Central America.”

Could your hair benefit from Ojon?

I fell in mad, passionate love with Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner/styling cream.

On days when you don’t feel like fussing about with your hair and you want to do a simple wash and go, Mixed Chicks will save the day. My only recommendation is you use a weekly clarifying shampoo like Nexxus Aloe Rid to remove the buildup.
Mixed Chicks defines my curls like nothing else!

Do you need a better wash and go style?

Jada Pinkett-Smith’s hair is rockstar hot! She is a famous lover of the
Carol’s Daughter line of products, and I agree. Good, good stuff. Talk about DELUXE! Try “Lisa’s Hair Elixir” and the Hair Balm.

Blended Beauty is a nice, natural line with nourishing ingredients. Her products are ideal for childrens’ hair.

Aveda deserves an honorable mention for their Brilliant Conditioner, Sap Moss products, and Be Curly leave-in conditioner. Sound like what your hair needs?

Miss Jessie’s Curve Salon is home of the famous Baby Buttercreme for curly and kinky hair. It’s meant for kids, but I absolutely LOVE this stuff! Their Curly Buttercreme (for adults) is lovely as well, but I fancy the baby version.

As for hair oils, I prefer all-natural, lightweight oils such as monoi, kukui nut, jojoba and unrefined coconut oil.

Dabur Vatika Hair Oil is an East Indian hair oil I love; I use it sparingly, but often.

Monoi Tiare Tahiti Oil is also fabulous!

What can I say - I know hair!
