Happy new month fam! We made it to the 5th month of the year 2020!
My natural hair recently turned 2 years after doing the big chop in 2018. From April/2018 till date, it’s been a roller coaster ride filled with product piling & product trials.
WHY I GOT THE BIG CHOP AND HOW IT HAS AFFECTED MY SELF-ESTEEM
I’ve bought & dumped so many products before settling for these ones I have written about in this post.
My hair is 4c,black,low porosity,Nigerian hair & these are the products I’ve used & highly recommend.
N.B : I’m not a natural hair expert, I’m just sharing products that have worked for me.
5 NATURAL HAIR PRODUCTS I RECOMMEND FOR NIGERIAN HAIR:
1. Dudu osun black soap: This product is popularly used as a bathing soap in Nigeria. Very few know it can be used as a shampoo for natural hair.

I dilute it with warm water,honey and vit E capsules & store it in a container. It lathers really well and can last as long as 4-6 months depending on how you use it.
2. Damatol hair cream: 🥺😢Please, don’t judge me! While looking for a dandruff cure,I tried everything I could lay my hands on. Some worked for a while, others made the condition worse.

You won’t believe how shocked I was when I discovered that the product I’ve overlooked for years is the cure to the dandruff problem I’ve struggled with.
P.S : This product contains petroleum jelly & sulfates. Products containing these ingredients are discouraged in the natural hair community. However, this product took away dandruff,itching & flakiness from my hair. I highly recommend it for anyone struggling with dandruff & itchy scalp.
3. Rose water: Asides from being a face toner, rose water can be used on the hair. It moisturizes the hair & deals with the smell that comes as a result of underlying hair issues like dandruff.

I use this alone or mix it with water in my spray bottle & spray it on my hair while doing the LOC method. It leaves my hair moisturized & gives it a sweet scent.
4. Cantu leave-in-conditioner: This product is pivotal to my hair length. It’s soft, creamy & smells absolutely sweet.

I owe the longevity of my natural hair journey to this product lol. It leaves my hair soft, manageable and my hairstylist is able to plait my hair without ouches & complains from my end.
5. Chebe hair butter: You must have heard of this product, let this post be the affirmation you need about Chebe hair butter!

This is one of the impulse purchases I don’t regret till date.
As long as you keep it away from your scalp, this product will increase hair length & reduce breakage. The curry smell it has can be handled by using a sweet smelling leave-in-conditioning cream afterwards.

When you say your hair is 2 years I just recalled that my hair is now 4years this April. I will try all this products babe. I mostly use water , olive oil and hair cream for my hair which is the LOC (liquid, oil and cream.
Waow!! Congratulations babe!! 👏🏾🎉
Olive oil/coconut oil aren’t so good on my hair. Almond oil works best for me because it’s light weight.
I’m already imagining what my hair would look like when it’s 4 years old.
Cheers to growing fros & glowing skins🥂
Thank you for this post
When I saw damatol I was shocked tbh
I would have loved to see a picture of your hair tho
😆I know right?
You are welcome dear. My hair is locked in corn rows but I will post a picture of it after I take them out.
Okay
I may even write an entirely new post with lots of pictures of my natural hair.
That will be better
