When it comes to hair essentials you can never have too many but when it comes to choosing which ones to splurge on, it can get tricky.

We wanted to share with you our top essentials that work best with African American hair! From our favorite flat iron to the best smelling shampoo we have the basics covered!

BaByliss PRO Flat Iron

Looking to use what the pros use? We are pretty sure if you stop to talk to any hairstylist they will tell you that they use the blue and beautiful BaByliss Flat Iron! Since it comes in different styles (curved, 1-3 inches and a travel size) this flatiron is perfect to have on the road and at home!

Edge Control

Edges don’t lay themselves. From trying out numerous edge control products we think Murray’s Edgewax and Curls Blueberry Curl Control are definitely on the top of our list! Bliss is made with organic blueberries and and smells amazing while Murray’s gets straight to point and doesn’t miss a hair!

Bobby Pins and Hair Ties

We can speak for all women and say that you can never have too many bobby pins and hair ties! It seems like when we buy 10 we only see 2 at the end of the week!

You can grab either of these must have products at your local beauty supply store.

OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner

From the coconut smell to the smooth feeling of your hair after you get out of the shower OGX is one of our favorites! The Coconut Milk shampoo and conditioner leaves our hair rejuvenated. Oh and don’t worry, if you’re not a coconut fan they have over 15 different scents catering to different hair needs!
