The natural hair movement is here. It's big, kinky, curly, and center stage in today's beauty world. From YouTube tutorials, to natural hair care beauty lines coming out with the newest products to stop frizz and shrinkage, it can be hard to keep up. It can also be a nightmare to find the right products for your hair. See, finding the best products for natural hair is like finding the perfect therapist or dating. You want to make sure the ingredients aren't harmful, your hair works well with it, and it's not too expensive, but also not too cheap.

I wanted products that kept my hair moisturized with healthy ingredients.

I decided to dive deep into an investigation for the best natural hair products so you wouldn't have to. I have 3C hair. My hair is prone to shrinkage, frizz, and tangles after a long day. I wanted products that kept my hair moisturized with healthy ingredients. That's when I stumbled upon TGIN's line. I had heard of it before, but I never used the products. I decided to put TGIN's products to the test and do a simple wash-and-go.


  1. To have moisturized curls after deep conditioning.
  2. To have curls that make my girlfriends ask, "Sis, what products do you use!?"
  3. To not have as much frizz after a long day at work.

      Routine for Deep Conditioning:

      Wet hair with warm water. Shampoo and comb through hair twice. Part hair into four sections. The instructions always say to use a dime-sized amount for each section. I usually use a size that's equivalent to 10 dimes. That explains why my products always run out so fast!

      Comb through each section and apply the deep conditioner. Braid hair into four sections. Place a shower cap on head, and let it sit for 10-20 minutes. Rinse and apply the leave-in conditioner.

      Routine for Wash-and-Go:

      Once hair is deep conditioned, apply leave-in conditioner. Part hair into four sections again. Comb through each section and apply a generous amount of TGIN's Twist And Define Creme. Grab a pick (because...shrinkage) and go. Once your curls are locked and dry, pick those bad boys out.

      My Takeaways:

      These products work. Throughout the day, my hair stayed curly, moisturized, and there was little frizz.

      Changes don't happen overnight. It took my hair over a week to transition to TGIN products. It wasn't something that happened immediately. Just because you feel like your curls haven't transitioned doesn't mean they aren't on their way. Do not give up.

      Like I said, finding the perfect natural hair products is like dating. You have to go through a few bad apples before finding the right one. I can confidently say TGIN is catered to every curl pattern.

      I feel so much better after using TGIN's Line. I can happily say my curls feel healthier and lighter because of these products.

      Lastly, have patience during your natural hair journey. Everyone's experience is very different and the worst thing you can do is compare your journey to someone else's. We're here to uplight and help each other. Trust your process and budget, budget, budget because it can get expensive.
