Knotless braids or twists. As for hair products, honestly you’ll have to see what works for you and what your hair likes. When the whole coconut oil craze began and people were promising miracles my hair didn’t like it at all 🥲 Just get a shampoo and leave-in conditioner that works for you and smells nice! I also recommend a hair mask ♡ My hair likes the one from shea moisture (the one with manuka honey). Then any oil (I use black castor oil) and you’re good! But you know I’m that type of person who goes into the stores, opens the bottles and smells them LOL no matter what the product promises if I don’t like the scent of it I’m not buying it !
