Her mane objective:
Style and healthy hair maintenance should coexist.

If you have natural hair:
"Make sure to always keep it moisturized using a leave-in conditioner (like our Brazilian Nut & Acai Berry blend), oils, and silk pillow cases or bonnets that keep it from drying out. For finished natural styles, use a shine spray or shine serum. But, if you're searching for a curly or kinky look, use our Bounce Back Curl Revitalizer for moisturized, shiny curls."

If you have pressed or straightened hair:
"After you shampoo and condition hair, use a leave-in conditioner that contains thermal protection to prevent damage."

If you have relaxed hair:
"Make sure to condition very well, and try not to use much heat at all. You can use our Brazilian Nut & Acai Berry Conditioning Masque as an intense conditioning treatment by washing your hair and leaving it on for 15 to 20 minutes."
