That's going to depend on a couple things:

- Hair type
- Hair porosity
- Hair density

Like for example, I'm a 3c/4a with kinky curls (still unsure about this part), high porosity, and high density hair (aka my hair is thick and you can't see my scalp when looking at my hair).

My hairs main concerns are moisture, moisture retention, shrinkage control (-_-) , and split end prevention as my hair seems to get those easily.

My hair likes for washing (cause every natural is different):
- Aunt Jessie's Moisturizing Shampoo
- Curls Goddess Shampoo
- As I Am Coconut Cowash
- Mixed Chicks Deep Conditioner

Leave in:
- Giovanni Direct 50/50 Leave In Conditioner
- Aunt Jessie's Leave in Condish (still getting use to it but not bad)

Moisture:
- Miss Jessie's Baby Butter Cream (friggin expensive though)
- Camille Rose Hair Milk
- Raw Shea butter (my hair loves butter more than milks)

Stylers:
- Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls (Only one I've found so far that I really like, Shea moisture didn't so it for me)
- Curls Passion Fruit Control Paste (Worked well for me in the winter, in this humidity isn't helping my hair hold styles. But neither is the ECO styler gel...)

Detanglers:
- Aunt Jessie's Detangler (I mix it with my Shea butter)

Oils (I generally mix them all unless I'm trying to do something other than seal my hair)
- Coconut (I also use this as a pre poo)
- Vitamin E (makes my hair so soft!)
- Peppermint
- Argan
- Jojoba (Only one two drops in my mix as anything other then that makes my hair kinda greasy)

I also recommend taking a look over at naturallyculy.com and reading up on some things. Ultimately you're going to have to try and find what works for you as not all naturals can use the same things and get the same results. One girl at my job likes Deva Curl products, they didn't do anything for my hair. Everyone on the internet seems to love Eco Styler gel, I can't get it to hold my hair for anything! I'm going to keep trying as I just started using it again, but it's not going well. Everyone else at my job seems to love Shea moisture, doesn't do anything for my hair (but I haven't tried it in like...six to eight months and I've had a lot of growth since then so I may try it again). And that's another thing , something that didn't work for you at one point may work for you later on down the line.

I know this was probably more information then you wanted, but I hope it helped!
