Their shampoos and conditioners are top of the top (if you must use a shampoo, that is). I couldn't live without their Scalp scrub, Pure conditioner (I use as leave-in), Definition foam, and I Create Volume styling gel (not a 'lotion,' as the label says). Can't wait to get my hands on the new I Create Curl Memory gel—it's on order!

💗 Cult+King.

Fabulous styling products for beachy texture and light hold.
Tonik scalp serum (black glass bottle) to lower the pH of my scalp and hair. Can be used as a lightweight leave-in and is so good for refreshing in-between wash days.
Style styling cream ESSENTIAL for moisture underneath Jelly, especially in dry seasons/parts of the world.
Setspray spray gel/hairspray/heat protectant (purple liquid in clear glass bottle). Can be used on wet or dry hair as a hairspray, texture/enhancing spray, excellent for refreshing in-between washdays.
Jelly styling gel (pink gel in clear glass bottle). Triple salt-infused emulsion to lend moisture, enhancement, a thickening effect and curl memory to wavy/curly hair. No crunch. So good.
Vegan Balm (cream in bamboo jar). I prefer to use as a finishing paste on hair to smooth flyaways or frayed ends, but can be used a multitude of ways, on hair and skin!

Raw Curls shampoo, conditioner, and gel: www.rawhairorganics.com
For my international friends, I recommend Boucleme or Jessicurl cleansing, conditioning, and gel products, as Raw Curls shipping overseas can be pricey.
LA Looks Extreme Spikes gel: Find at Walmart or http://amzn.to/2wQP6B1. Note, this gel does contain keratin amino acids (small protein molecules usually well tolerated by most everyone), so it's not completely protein free--but close to it.
For my international friends, Boucleme gel and Jessicurl Spiralicious are my recs
