Summer 2021 is going to be popping, so you want to be ready to slay.

With all the barbecues and functions that you already have lined up, you don't want to neglect caring for your tresses because of your jam-packed schedule. Remember, frayed edges, disappearing edges, and hair breakage is never a cute look. Simplify your hair routine without sacrificing on style and strand health with these Black-owned products for some major mane flex.

Inahsi Naturals Mango Hemp Restorative Deep Conditioner

There's no way to truly forgo deep conditioning when it comes to maintaining healthy hair. The key to shortening wash day is finding a deep conditioner that doesn't need to be left in for hours to be highly effective. Try this nourishing condish from Inashi Naturals. It only needs to be left in for 5 minutes to take effect—but we like leaving it in for 30 minutes for maximum benefits. It contains hydrating ingredients, such as mango seed butter, hemp seed oil and aloe vera, to restore moisture to dry curls—plus, protein to strengthen fragile strands.

Winnie and Co. Avocado + Cucumber Cleansing Conditioner

Wash day can be an all-day process when you have natural hair—and, it is multiplied if you happen to be a parent.

The brand's tear-free vegan formula gently cleanses curls while simultaneously conditioning and restoring moisture. Though made to be gentle enough for children, this co-wash works wonders on grown-ups as well.
