Protect your hair from your protective style with these haircare must-haves.

Girl+Hair Under Hair Care

This is the OG of under-hair care. Dermatologist Dr. Camille Howard-Verovic founded the brand in 2009 as the first-ever haircare line designed specifically to help us protect our natural and relaxed hair from our protective styles. The collection features a five-step system, including CLEANSE sulfate-free shampoo, NOURISH soothing leave-in conditioner, RESTORE protective restoring balm, and REFRESH water-based hydrating hair milk. The CLEAR clarifying apple cider vinegar rinse is a must-try for removing build-up for a cleaner, healthier scalp.

They are enriched with botanical oils, such as castor, tea tree, and neem, and other nourishing ingredients like biotin, Vitamin E and rice water, to help strengthen and repair hair. We love that each offering comes bottled with specially-designed nozzle tips to help you apply the product between your cornrows and braids and underneath wefts.

The collection is cruelty-free and does not contain any alcohol, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, or silicones.

Girl+Hair, $13-$16 each, $72 for the complete bundle.
