A Definitive List of the Best Brown-Girl Beauty Products of 2016

I was introduced to this heat protector by Domanik Mager of The Club Salon in Harlem earlier this year, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I frequently blow-dry and flat iron my hair, and I use this to protect my natural waves from frying or breaking off. Not only does the mist help prevent damage from heat styling, it's also non-sticky and leaves my hair with a silky finish. With this protective mist you barely need any additional product to perfect your blowout.
