8. Miss Jesse's

Miss Jesse's took on the curly hair market in 2004 and haven't looked back. During that time there was hardly anything designated for curly hair care on the market. Realizing the potential and demand, Miss Jesse's strived to make something that would be effective and fresh. They are well known for their rich creams and conditioners that treat hair to an abundance of moisture. Every natural girl needs some of their products in their stash.

The CurlBox is something that all naturals should give a shot. It is a monthly box that you subscribe to and receive a variety of products to try. Each month you get 4 or more hair product samples for only $20. Sounds like a steal, right? Trying out products for half the price, cant beat that.

11. EDEN Bodyworks

Crafted by an 11 year old who couldn't find products for her hair, EDEN Bodyworks is a must try. The products are infused with natural products to restore hair and return it to its natural state. EDEN products leave your hair feeling softer and healthier. You want regret introducing your hair to EDEN.

I hope that you'll think about these products the next time you come across them. They are meant for all types of hair to ensure that you maintain the most healthy hair ever.
