Totally vegan and sulfate free, the tea tree oil, peppermint and lavender will keep you smelling great all day while reducing the number of split ends your natural hair bothers you with.
4. Maui Moisture Smooth and Repair Vanilla Bean Hair Butter
More of a buttery consistency than the products we’ve mentioned so far, this repair cream from Maui Moisture is a great product for Black hair. It combines aloe juice and coconut water with thicker ingredients like cocoa butter and vanilla bean to produce a smooth finish that works wonders if you’re susceptible to dry hair.
5. Cantu Shea Butter Men’s Collection Leave in Conditioner
Brittle hair can be a big problem for lots of men, but Cantu’s formula of caffeine, shea butter and hemp seed oil will go a long way to finding a solution. It reduces shedding and dryness whatever your hair type, but be sure to apply it when your hair is damp and work in right to the roots to gain full advantage of its benefits.
6. Wild Growth Hair Oil
Our next choice from Wild Growth is a fantastic hair oil that contains coconut oil and olive oil as well as a few interesting pulses such as lentils, chickpeas and rice bran. Be quite conservative with the amount you use, as it is quite an oily substance. It’ll stimulate your hair to increase its growth and can be used for your beard as well, so if you’re after a growth hair product then we’d highly recommend giving this one a go.
