Can anyone recommend any really good deep conditioners, leave-in conditioners, shampoos, or conditioners? I know I always have so many questions but I'm not used to dealing with natural hair especiall my own. Im 13 and my mom has been relaxing my hair since I was 7 or 8 so I forgot about what my hair was like before. Im transitioning right now because I think natural is beautiful so can you guys please help me out and tell me whats best for "our" hair? Thanks for all your help everyone you've all been great!

Right now I'm redoing my regimine but the products i know that i love are ors repelenishing pak like i said before i love these and they're cheap too.  My new fave shampoo is creme of nature and for cowashes I like to use any v05.
i also really like to mix honey in with my conditioners
For oils africa's best herbal oil works really good. and it smells nice too

I really hope this helps

i cowash 2-3 times a week. i also use VO5 for my co-washes. i wash my hair once a week w/ creme of nature or mane n tail following a deep conditoner. its also important to moisturize ur hair daily or on a regular basic.

I've used Dr. Miracles feel it formula, it really works especially against split ends, it also has some kind of mint product in the product so when you put it on your scalp you can feel it tingle.

Some of my favorite products have to be bought online but since you're 13 you probably won't be able to purchase anything online so I'll list ones that can be bought from the store.

Deep conditioner- Pantene Relaxed and Natural Breakage Defense Deep Con Mask
 
Shampoo- Creme of Nature (green top) This is my favorite shampoo.
 
Leave in- Giovanni Direct
 
Since you are transitioning you will want to make sure to use some type of protein conditioner to keep your hair from breaking.  This has to be balanced out w/ moisture so always condition w/ a moisturizing conditioner after doing a protein treatment. 
 
For protein treatments I would suggest Motions CPR (I have the one in the bottle, not the jar), and for moisturizing conditioner I like Dove Intense Moisture.
 
Moisturizing your hair daily and sealing the moisture in with an oil is also very important.

^^You can wash AA hair daily if it works for your hair.  For me it dosen't work so I don't do it.  I shampoo every two weeks and it works best for me.  Some people conditioner wash their hair (use conditioner instead of shampoo) because it's gentler than shampooing daily.  When I say moisturize I mean to apply a water based moisturizer preferably w/ no mineral oil or petrolatum to your hair daily then seal that in w/ an oil like olive oil.  A good moisturizer that I like is Cantu Break Cure.

So a water based moisturizer doesnt have to be liquid right? Can you get Cantu Break Cure at a regular store like Sally's?

^^No it dosen't have to be liquid.  You can get the Cantu at Wal-Mart, CVS, Target, stores like that.  I'm not sure if it's at Sally's.

Co wash is washing hair with a conditioner only, no shampoo

If you go to vitaminshoppe.com (or the actual store,) you may find some little known shampoos and conditioners that may impress you. I don't think they have fancy labels or snazzy ad campaigns but Aubrey Organics seems "cool." I think someone here may have mentioned the brand in another thread.
I'm in!

This might also be a silly question, but what does NTW mean?
