Hey curl friends, Fadeke here, so I thought I would do something different for this blog post. I created a short video where I show you guys my top essentials for taking care of my natural hair. I created this video to guide any beginner who has just recently started their natural hair journey and needs guidance on what products and items to use for their natural hair. There are some things I did not mention in the video which are also equally important, including having a good shampoo and conditioner that is suitable for naturally curly hair, a good leave-in to moisturize your hair and a good deep conditioner. There are also other natural hair essentials and items you may consider adding to your basket as well, whenever you go out shopping or order online from the comfort of your bed.

In this video, I explained and showcased my go-to essentials for taking care of my natural hair and the benefits of using each item.
Here is a list and link to the products and tools mentioned in the video:
1) Spray bottle – you can get this anywhere, but here a link to a good spray bottle – Pro Styling ‘Pro Styling Fine Mist Spray Bottle, 300ml’.
2) My favourite detangler product- ‘Aunt Jackie’s Knot on my watch instant detangling therapy’ – Love Afro cosmetics.
3) An oil mix from Aunt Jackie brand – Aunt Jackie’s Flaxseed Soft all over Multi-purpose Oil. (Available on Amazon)
4) A black wide-tooth comb – You can also get this from most shops at their hair-care section, a black hair shop, but here a link to where you can get one online: Amazon- ‘Jumbo Rake wide-tooth comb by Fine Lines – An Afro Comb made for Detangling Hair ….’
5) A satin scarf – I got mine from a local black hair shop, but here is a link to where you can order one online: Afrocenchix- ‘Print Bonnet with satin lining’.
(*You can also get a silk scarf or a silk pillowcase)
6) African pattern head wraps you can use to accessories your natural hair – I won this headwrap featured in this video from a giveaway by the brand Asikara by Laura Jane. You can get a similar headwrap along with other items from my friend’s online shop – Asikara by Laura Jane.
