Many new naturals are left with a counter full of products for relaxed hair that no longer work on their newly chemical free tresses. One of the most common questions I hear is: “What products will keep my natural hair soft and moisturized?” In the nine years I have been natural, I have tested many products on my own hair. In the three years I have been publishing Naturally You! Magazine, I have learned about even more of the best products for women who want soft, manageable, healthy hair without the chemicals.

Carol’s Daughter

Carol’s Daughter is one of the most prominent names in natural hair care products, and with good reason. The company produces high quality, nature based products for hair and skin. Recently, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith and others invested 10 million dollars in the company, which has led to an expanded product line and more advanced website.

My favorite Carol’s Daughter product is Healthy Hair Butter, which is a soft creamy hair dress based in shea butter and almond oil, with lavender, ylang ylang, and rosemary essential oils. It smells heavenly, enhances the natural coil of the hair, and keeps it soft. It also provides a gentle hold that will keep your style in place all day. Apply a small amount to damp hair and massage in for best results.

Other Carol’s Daughter products to try: Tui Hair Oil, Hair Milk

Healthy Hair Butter - $12.50
Tui Hair Oil - $8.00
Hair Milk - $10.00

Oyin Handmade

Oyin Handmade is an up and coming natural hair and skin product producer, which is quickly gaining popularity among naturals. The company’s down to earth presentation and personal touch account for much of its appeal – but the products are also unique and what’s better, they work!

My one comment is... Why there are limited african american woman that own their own hair products? My wife have major issues looking for a broad range of resources when it comes to finding a sista own product. I guess there is an open market.

Thank you so much for the article, I love finding your recommendations of healthy, natural products for natural hair! I'm looking forward to trying Carol's Daughter and I was pleasantly surprised you mentioned Burt's Bees, I see their line in the store all the time.

I have switched to the Burt Bee's line, and I love it. I have been natural for 7 years now, and it's line of hair care products are ranked among the best for my hair in my opinion. I highly recommend it, but it does leave your hair squeaky clean. If your hair is long like mine, you'll either need a detangler or shampoo in sections to prevent tangles. Also, the shampoos lather easily, so a little goes a long way. More Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, Hair Therapy, and the Pre-Shampoo Treatment are my preferences.

Wonderful article - I, too, use most of the brands you listed (just purchased Oyin online) and they all provide great nourishment for natural hair...
