Hair Apparent: Hair Products For All Hair Types

In a perfect world, we’d all be able to use the same hair products no matter the hair type and get equally, fabulous results. It would certainly cut my shopping time in half so I could troll the streets in search of the latest eyeshadow…there has to be a support group for beauty junkies like me. There just has to be, don’t ya think? But let’s get real. The products that work for my funky faux hawk (and it is cute ladies if I say so myself), doesn’t necessarily work for you.  So,”what products work for my ‘do” you ask?

But are there hair products for all hair types? Well, first thing’s first. All hair types should have a shampoo that cleans and moisturizes your precious strands. Celebrity hair stylist, Kimberly Kimble has the perfect solution with Kimble Moisturizing Shampoo. It makes your hair feel super soft and manageable. But when it comes to styling coarse, straight or wavy hair, you have to be careful to choose the correct products that will give you your desired outcome. Pick this item up at your local Target.

I’m such a fan of the line of curly hair products from Miss Jessie’s Original. They’re made specifically for kinky/natural/curly hair. Maybe songstress Janelle Monae’s heard of it? Maybe even uses it? Miss Jessie’s Original Curly Pudding is known for being the “smoothe operator.” It smoothes out the kinkiest of hair strands and reveals super shiny stretched out curls. Another product from the line that catches my attention is a daily shampoo, again, specifically for kinky/natural/curly hair called  Crème De La Curl Cleansing Crème. Can’t commit to a 12oz bottle? That’s okay. Just buy a 1oz packet for just $2.00 and test the waters before you buy. But, if you’re still not sure about any of these natural hair care products and need more information, then schedule a consultation. They’d be happy to see you!

If you’re looking to keep your hair full of body and shine like Nia Long, then try Mizani Thermastrength Style Serum. It’s a heat-activated serum that also strengthens your hair and helps to prevent breakage.

If you’re sporting a precision straight haircut like actress/model, Ya Ya, then you can’t go wrong with stylist to the stars, Ellin Lavar’s ThermMist ^TM. Spray your hair with this mist and watch as it smoothes and preps your hair’s surface to make that all-too-important flat iron work better. It also leaves your hair with an unbelievable shine and control.

Hue Knew It? I did.
