The Best Conditioners for Your Curls: Mixed Chick Hair Whisperer Part 2

The Best Conditioners for Your Curls: Mixed Chick Hair Whisperer Part 2

Before you jump into Mixed Chick Hair Whisperer Part II,  have you read Part I? If not, click here.

The one thing I’ve learned about curly hair is that it needs moisture, moisture that comes from conditioning curls on a regular basis (weekly).

If curly hair was a superhero, then conditioner would be the sidekick.

Finding  conditioners that work for your curls sometimes feels like finding a needle in a haystack. (For you non-southerners, southerners use lots of metaphors)

I’m going to give a list of some great conditioners. Ready???

Avalon Organics Scalp Treatment Tea Tree Conditioner

If you have an itchy scalp, this is the perfect product for soothing it. The consistency is thick and smells amazing!

Most conditioners formulated for itchy scalps have a medicinal smell to it. Oh, and this conditioner has all natural ingredients!

You can find it at Whole Foods or if you’re lucky, TJMaxx for much cheaper.

AMLA Legend Moisture Remedy Conditioner

This one is the newest one in my collection. I scored it in my last OnyxBox. First off, I have to say that it smells amazing! It works wonders for moisturizing and detangling.

Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner/Mixed Chicks Leave in Conditioner. Why did you list a leave in and wash out conditioner?

My baby girl has wavy, curly hair. Mixed Chicks works wonders on her texture. I’ve found that using the wash out conditioner and leave in together makes her curls moisturized and bouncy.

She needs products that aren’t thick and heavy; a vast contrast from what mine & her sister’s curls need.

TRESemme’ Curl Hydration Conditioner

This conditioner is affordable (the 32 oz bottle is only $3.98 at Walmart), and detangles all variations of curl types like nobody’s business. There are only a few conditioners that work for all 3 of our curl types and this is one of them.

Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Mafura Oil Intensive Hydration Hair Masque. My absolute favorite!!

Have you ever found a product and thought, where have you been all my life?

Well, this one is it for me! My curls just wrap themselves around this conditioner when I put it in my hair.

It hydrates, moisturizes and leaves my hair feeling and smelling amazing! I’ve always been a Shea Moisture fan, but this product brings a blend of mafura oil, mnuka honey and African rock fig to restore and moisturize while fighting frizz.

This is a must have for any curl pattern.

Shea Moisture products can be pricey, but you can often find a buy 1 get 1 deal at your local Target or Ulta.

Shea Moisture Fruit Fusion Coconut Water Weightless Hair Masque. 

When I finish co-washing my daughters’ hair with this product, their hair feels smooth, moisturized and has an amazing shine to it. It works on a variety of curl patterns and has all natural ingredients like dragon fruit, coconut water, lychee berry and green apple extracts.

    I’ve been using the Mixed Chicks combo you mention — the deep wash out conditioner and the leave in — for about a year. The difference in my hair is amazing. Just recently started using another combo because I ran out before remembering to buy more and within a few weeks I could see the (negative) difference. Now that I’m back with my Mixed Chicks my hair is happy again!

    […] Deep conditioning your hair adds moisture that is lost due to heat or chemical damage. If you have color in your hair, conditioning is a must if you spend time the pool. Color + chlorine wreaks havoc on your curls. Be sure to pick a conditioner that moisturizes, but doesn’t weigh your hair down. I’ve found that the thicker your hair is, the more conditioners with pudding-like consistencies tend to work. For a list of my favorite deep conditioners, click here. […]

ABOUT ME

When I became a mother, I searched for resources about raising biracial/multicultural children and found very few. And when I say little, I mean a minuscule amount. So, I decided to be the resource that I was looking for in hopes of helping moms like myself.
