Boutique DeBandeaux Handmade Headbands

Handmade in the Bronx, New York, these satin headbands are one of a kind. They are made specifically made to flatter and protect Black women’s hair. All materials used are chosen based on their ability to glide smoothly over hair, instead of tangling or ripping hair. Yup, you’ll definertly want to buy two and keep one for yourself.

Harry Josh Pro Tools 2-in-1 Ceramic Marcel Curling Iron 1 Inch (4 piece)

This one is a little pricey, but worth EVERY penny. Made from nano-ceramic and tourmaline, the barrel emits negative ions that smooth strands and maintain their moisture balance. And, the heat-resistant glove that protects us from burned fingertips!

$175, available at dermstore.com.

04
MIZANI True Textures collection

Aside from the Tropical Fruit Colada scent that transports us straight to the Caribbean, this new collection for textured hair has a combination of nourishing marula, olive and coconut oils that instantly seals in moisture for elongated curls.

From $16-$18, available at Mizani.com.

07
Dark and Lovely Au Naturale Moisture L.O.C Collection

First, apply your “Liquid leave in” to prep your hair to absorb the oil, then you layer in your “Oil” to infuse hair with moisture and last, your “Cream” to seal in it in. Collectively, the mashup gives your curls great moisture without weighing them down.

$10 (each), available at Walmart.com.

08
Alterna Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Intense Oil Crème Pre-Shampoo Treatment

Sometimes your favorite shampoo and conditioner just doesn’t give the extra moisture you really need. Give your girls the gift of revitalized strands with this pre-shampoo designed to hydrate before your normal wash routine.

Twisted: My Dreadlock Chronicles

Perfect for the girl considering locs, this unique memoir explores Black hair from a man’s point of view.

$13, available at Amazon.com.
