1. Shampoo: Camille Rose Sweet Ginger Cleansing Rinse
- Rating: 🌟 4.6

- Scent: Lemon and ginger
- Weight: 12 ounces

2. Conditioner: Design Essentials Rosemary and Mint
- Rating: 🌟 4.5
- Price: $13.00
- Weight: 11 ounces
- Smell: Mint
his thick, luscious conditioner is your detangling BFF, providing slip and shine galore. My hair feels soft, manageable, and runway-ready every time I use it. The downside? Us naturals can be heavy-handed, and rinsing it all out can be a task. It’s on the thinner side and some people say that the scent can be a little overpowering but it doesn’t bother me much
3. Detangler: My Fingers
Why complicate things when you’ve got the ultimate tool at your fingertips—literally? I ditched combs and brushes (well, mostly). I just bought a detangling brush, but it’s strictly an assistant to my fingers. The result? A wash day that’s easy, breezy, and drama-free.
4. Spray Bottle
Run, don’t walk, to Dollar Tree and grab a basic spray bottle. Fill it with plain water and voilà—you’ve got a quick, cost-effective way to refresh your curls and keep them hydrated without breaking the bank.
5. Hair Growth/Sealant Oil
DIY is the way to go, honey. My custom blend is packed with almond oil, clove essential oil (for hair growth), and tea tree oil (bye-bye seborrheic dermatitis).

6. No Damage Seamless Hair Ties
- Price: $5.90
- Count: 120
- Rating: 🌟4.8
These are a must for banding my hair to stretch it post-wash. They don’t snag, don’t snap, and don’t stress me out. Affordable and fabulous—need I say more?
7. Aunt Jackie’s Flaxseed Recipes Gel
- Price: $6.99
- Weight: 15 ounces
- Rating: 🌟 4.6
This gel gives me the slickest ponytails and the cutest waves without the crunch or residue. It’s light, smells divine, and works like a charm for wash-and-go styles too, though shrinkage is still a thing.
8. Camille Rose Almond Jai Butter
- Price: $8.49
- Weight: 8 ounces
- Rating: 🌟 4.6
- Scent: Vanilla cake batter
This is dessert for your hair, darling! While most naturals use it as a twisting butter, I prefer it as a leave-in conditioner. It’s perfect for adding moisture and softness to my hair, though it can be a bit heavy if your hair isn’t squeaky clean.
9. Camille Rose Honey Dew Moisture Refresher
- Price: $14.99
- Weight: 8 ounces
- Rating: 🌟 4.5
- Scent: Honey/syrup
This refresher is packed with amazing ingredients for a quick hydration boost. Use it sparingly, though—it’s not exactly budget-friendly for daily use. And while the scent is strong, sealing the moisture with oil is an absolute must for low-porosity queens.
10. The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam
- Price: $14.99
- Weight: 7 ounces
- Rating: 🌟 4.5
This mousse defines curls like a pro! Apply it to soaking wet hair in small sections, resisting the urge to touch while it dries. If there’s a cast, a bit of oil will soften it right up.
11. Heating Cap for Deep Conditioning
- Price: $19.99-21.99
- Assorted Colors
- Rating: 🌟 4.6
This thermal deep conditioning cap is an absolute game-changer! Available in assorted colors, it’s lightweight, compact, and oh-so-chic. Featuring a timer controller and water-resistant design, it’s perfect for oil treatments and deep conditioning sessions that will leave your hair looking and feeling red-carpet-ready. A must-have for any diva serious about their hair care routine!
Diva Tip: Honey, these products worked wonders for my low porosity hair, and trust me, I know what I’m talking about. But remember, what works for me might not be your perfect match. So, do your homework—read the reviews, ask your friends, watch the videos. Make sure the product is a true fit for your fabulous hair. You deserve nothing less than perfection! 💁♀️
