#50 Detangling Brush
Natural, curly and kinky hair is generally more fragile than straighter hair types. For this reason, it can make brushing your hair more anxiety provoking than enjoyable. Thankfully however, Boao have designed this brush especially for your hair type. The specially placed bristles are round and sit separately to avoid snagging your delicate curls and preserving their health.
#49 Aunt Jackie’s Knot on my Watch Leave in Detangler
If you’re still unsure about brushing your locks, perhaps this will sway you. This leave in detangler is sulfate and paraben free which is good news if you would like to keep your healthy hair shining naturally. Specifically targeted at coily and natural hair, this product promises to soften hair strands providing protection from brush damage.
#48 Aunt Jackie’s Curl Defining Custard
Aunt Jackie’s at it again, bringing you the premium hair care you could be missing. Just reading ‘hair custard’ makes me want to buy a bucket load and slather it all over my scalp. This luxurious sounding hair dessert will define and moisturise your curls without weighing them down.
#47 Cantu Strengthening Grow Treatment
A lot of the time with curly hair, you may not of visited a hairdresser for a year and your hair will still seem like it is the same length it was a year a ago. This could be for a number of reasons including dyeing your hair or using heated tools. If you have committed either or both hair crimes, the damaged cuticles can cause split ends which will eventually snap off. Cantu has created this 3 in 1 miracle treatment that replenishes moisture, protects from further heat damage and strengthens fragile hair strands, to help promote healthy hair growth.
#46 Air Tree Magic Hair Twist Sponges
These clever hair tools style your hair as easily as if you were sat in the barber’s chair. The high-quality material reduces the risk of abrasion to the hair strands, leaving them styled and damage free. The sponges have multiple sides that give you a different style choice every day.
#45 Aunt Jackie’s Quench Leave in Conditioner
If you are wondering what products to use on natural kinky curly hair, here is yet another entry by Aunt Jackie, this lady sure does know how to maintain tight curly hair. For those strands that need some extra care during the day, this leave in conditioner promises to ultra-hydrate those thirsty strands and leave you with long lasting softness.

With over 110 years of hair expertise, this unique conditioning hair spray provides long lasting softness that has been specifically created for dry and damaged hair. It will give your dull strands that extra sheen without leaving any residue and it’s perfect to use with curly, wavy, natural, transitional and relaxed hair.
#43 Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink Curling Gel
I promise I’m not doing this on purpose but I’m here to bring you top rated natural hair products for black hair for growth and Aunt Jackie just keeps topping the list. This time, the magic potions master has concocted an elongating gel made using flaxseed which is well known source of natural hair nourishment. While also being paraben free, this gel promises to protect the hair without making your hair appear thinner.
#42 Cantu Daily Oil Moisturiser
A second entry by Cantu, this moisturizing hair treatment has been created using shea butter to hydrate your permed, relaxed and damaged hair.

#40 Mizani Miracle Hair Oil
Another luxurious leave in treatment, this nourishing hair oil created by Mizani proudly boasts of its 25 benefits that provide moisture for both skin and hair. I know hair oils sound heavy which could be a problem if you have fine or oily hair, but hair oils have been specifically tailored using a range of oils called ‘dry oils’. The best way I can describe them is a fast absorbing oil with wonderful benefits that leaves no greasy slicks behind. This softening hair treatment promises to deliver just that, a lightweight formula that will absorb deep into your dry and damaged hair without causing it to go flat and is perfect to use for heat damaged or chemically treated hair.
#39 Biolage Hydrosource Shampoo
I have chosen this shampoo in particular as it is often this step that is most overlooked. As someone who has been dyeing their since they were 13, you can really divide the drying shampoos to the smoothing shampoos. Whether your hair is coloured, heat damaged, relaxed or returning to its natural wave, it might a good idea to consider your shampoo. A lot of shampoos are said to be especially for dry and damaged hair but often they are filled with artificial ingredients such as parabens and sulfates which strip your hair and of its natural oils which can cause extra damage which is a definite no-no if you’re planning on colouring, chemically treating or using heat tools on your hair.
This shampoo has been created to mimic the natural aloe plant and its incredible way of retaining moisture, leaving your hair frizz free and soft to the touch.
#38 Arvazallia Advanced Repair Shampoo and Conditioner Set
This one is for those of you who’s hair is unruly and unmanageable. This 3 piece set has everything you need to create the foundation of your hair cleansing regime. Created with Argon oil (one of the most praised beauty oils), these sulfate free repairing products promise to mend your dry and damaged hair which in turn, helps promote natural growth. Suitable for all hair types, even hair that’s been treated with Keratin.
#37 Dax Indian Hemp Deep Conditioning Moisturiser
As curly hair tends to be quite thick and hard to sift through, sometimes your scalp may need extra nourishment as well as your hair. This moisturising treatment sees that both get some R and R by smoothing angry cuticles caused by chemical treatments and heat damage.
#36 Aunt Jackie’s Seal It Up Hydrating Butter
I feel like at this point we could starting calling her AJ. What seems to be the reigning Queen of curly hair products, here is yet another entry by our new friend, ‘AJ’. This specially formulated hair butter has been created with flaxseed, honey, avocado and other delicious sounding ingredients (note- Do not eat, it is made for wearing, not eating!). Targeted at chronically dry hair, this moisturising hair treatment prevents split ends as well as strengthening damaged ends and also helps to prevent thinning and shedding.
#35 Majestic Pure Coconut Oil Hair Mask
Hands up if you’ve reaped the benefits of using coconut on your hair before. I certainly have. It has so many incredible benefits for your hair that revive your strands by locking in moisture. Sometimes however, natural coconut oil may need a little extra help to get your tresses under control. With an outstanding array of organic natural ingredients, this 5-minute mask could be the haircut preventative your thirsty hair so desperately requires. The best part is that is not tested on animals when creating natural hair products like this.

A second entry by SoftSheen-Carson, this delightful tub of deep conditioner promises to rejuvenate damaged hair and bring life back into those dehydrated curls. A top contender for moisturising hair masks.
#30 Afro and Rizo Shampoo
There is lack of shampoos on this list and I’m determined to help you change your ‘pooing habits. This sulfate free shampoo offers to treat naturally wavy, curly and afro hair. It has a blend of unique ingredients including; Cocoa and Karite butter which gives this shampoo extra anti-drying properties that will leave your hair soft, shiny and more manageable with these natural hair products.
#29 Beaut’e Seoul Leave in Keratin Treatment Spray
A new ingredient to add to our list – Keratin. Simply spray this hair restructuring product into towel dried hair and it’s good to go! Not only does the keratin fill in the damaged building blocks of your hair but it also provides a heat barrier that shortens your blow drying time. This treatment is also free of any harsh chemicals.
#28 GroHealthy Milk Protein and Olive Oil Growth Lotion
A lot of people assume that growth lotions will encourage your scalp to magically to produce Rapunzel length hair over night. I too, have fallen into this category many times. What they actually do help to repair your dry and damaged hair by locking in moisture and preventing split ends and breakage which prolongs the trip for the snip. This treatment however, provides your curls with the hydration it may need from chemical treatments and heat damage but simultaneously moisturises your scalp to rid dryness and flaking – another aspect to healthy hair growing that’s often over looked.
#27 Aunt Jackie’s Coconut Créme Leave in Treatment
