Like many Black women around the country, I’ve embraced my natural curls. I’ve worn my hair in its natural state for nine years now and I’ll probably never go back to chemically-straightened strands.
Thus, I’ve tried countless hair care products that claim to cater to my newly-discovered texture. However, I’ve been disappointed more times than I can count. So, when I come across products that work for my hair type, I stick with them. For me, Organic Root Stimulator (ORS) is one of those brands. Not only do their offerings turn my thick, super dry hair into an ultra-hydrated mane, it also works wonders on my daughter’s fine curls. Particularly, the Olive Oil Incredibly Rich Oil Moisturizing Hair Lotion.

I received this hydrating oil cream in a gift bag earlier this year and it’s become the go-to moisturizer for me and my daughter. Although it’s a cream, it’s remarkably light and doesn’t weigh down our hair, yet provides just the right amount of hydration and sheen.
My daughter has fine, easy-to-tangle hair while I have thick, coarse curls. I’ve found the moisturizer to work wonders on both of us. It’s great for braiding my daughter’s hair and for achieving the perfect twist-out or quintessential afro puff. Plus, it’s infused with castor oil, a natural lubricant that strengthens hair and prevents breakage.
If you’re on the hunt for a good, affordable moisturizer that doesn’t leave hair super greasy or weighted down, look no further. Trust me, your hair will thank you!
