One of the brands I’ve used for years {when I had relaxed hair and now as a natural} has been Motions. It’s affordable and can be purchased practically anywhere. And seriously, there’s a line and product for all textures. If there’s one thing I love, it’s an effortless go-to hairstyle I can whip up when I’m running late.
