What products should I use on my natural hair?

Whether your hair is relaxed or natural, you want to use products that add moisture to your hair.  Just being outside in the sun all day can drain your hair of its natural moisture.  I like to use products like shea butter, jojoba oil, almond oil, coconut oil, etc.  These are all natural oils that can be purchased at places like health food stores and sometimes Walmart or Target.  You will have to experiment with the different combinations as all will not work well with every hair type.

When searching for the right shampoo for your hair, you want to stay away from harsh chemicals like:
Alkyl Benzene Sulfonate
Alkyl Sodium Sulfate
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate
Ammonium Xylene Sulfonate
Magnesium Sulfate

Selenium Sulfide (mainly found in dandruff shampoos)
Sodium Thiosulfate
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate
Sodium C12-15 Alkyl Sulfate
Sodium Dodecyl Sulfonate
Sulfur (mainly found in dandruff shampoos)
TEA-Dodecylbenzene
TEA Lauryl Sulfate
