It’s the annual round-up of my favorite natural hair products, products I loved, and products I have on my to-try list for 2022.
This year, I trimmed my hair a bit as I didn’t have so much time to spend on doing hair for hours anymore.
I also wore my hair in twists and braids a lot and threw it up in a bun for 2 weeks at a time.
In 2021, I tried quite a few new products including product development for Ade Ori Hair Care.
