When transitioning from really badly heat damaged hair back to my curls I can say that this conditioner was one of the major factors that helped that transition go faster.

Before getting the SOS Cachos Arginina cream I used to use this defining cream to add moisture back to my twists. I do not use this product as often anymore but when I did use it, it was very helpful.

I enjoy using this as a leave-in cream because it keeps my mini twists moisturised like no other product has before and the 1kg bottle is so big it'll last me quite a while, which I am happy about :)

I love how creamy yet not heavy this leave-in is, like the balance is just right. And most importantly my twists are JUICY because of this.

After using Denman brushes for a few years I switched to this type of brush and I just prefer them nowadays. Though I still think Denman brushes are great for transitioning heat damaged curls back to their natural form.

I started using Denman brushes back when my curls were badly heat damaged and I think, along with the Argan oil of morocco conditioner, that it helped the transition of my hair back to being healthy curls.

Rat tail combs are heaven sent when it comes to parting hair. When I stopped using my huge comb to a rat tail for combing I never went back!

This comb has been my bestie on this hair care journey. It's helped me part, detangle and add volume to my hair. If you're building up your hair care kit, this definitely needs to be a part of it.
