Since I have started no poo, I use very little styling products because my hair just doesn’t need them. My hair holds curl better and is not near as frizzy.

If you choose to purchase products, you want to avoid these ingredients:

• Sulfates
• Parabens: Anything that ends with “paraban”
• Polymers: Silicones, anything that ends with “cone”, “xane”, “zane” or “conol”

You can also check the toxicity level of your products on the EWG database.

Other than washing using no poo methods, I use 3 products on my hair:

• When I need hairspray (which once or twice a month), I use this hairspray by Giovanni. It does have alcohol which can dry your hair. So if you have dry or porous hair, I would use a product without alcohol.
• I use argan oil as a hair serum to tame any flyaways. I use it once or twice between washes. I add essential oils to the argan oil. You can find my full recipe here.
• I use a DIY dry shampoo.

There are lots of DIY spray, serum, and gel recipes if you choose to make your own products. Common ingredients include:

• Aloe Vera Gel
• Glycerine
• Essential Oils
• Marshmallow Root
• Coconut Oil
• Almond Oil
• Jojoba Oil
• Apple Cider Vinegar
• Sea Salt
• Gelatin
• Spray Bottle
