For Limp Tresses - Make sure that the hair is very clean. When your hair is fine, you want a shampoo that’s a little more cleansing, that way it gets the residue out and you’ll be able to achieve more volume in styling. The Nurturing Repair shampoo is great. It refreshes the hair and the scalp, and contains green tea and shea butter.

Beat the Heat - The Strengthening Oil Moisturizer is good for the hair and scalp. It helps to protect the hair when you’re heat styling, and gives it a nice, light shine. This product also helps prevent damage and breaking. I recommend that you refrain from heat-styling every day. I suggest maybe once or twice between salon visits. Try to find other ways to style your hair.

Shine Goddess - Optimum Care Salon Collection Mineral-Oil Free Sheen Spray is very light and it gives the hair a natural sheen without weighing it down. There has never been an oil sheen made without any mineral oil. Mineral oil is very heavy on the hair and it creates build-up. This one works for all textures.

Let it Flow - Black women want their hair to flow and be beautiful and bouncy, so we definitely didn’t want to make any products that were greasy or created build-up on the hair. None of the products weigh the hair down.

Affordable Beauty - That’s the great thing about SoftSheen-Carson: it’s a great price point for consumers who don’t want to break their pockets, but do want quality products. When you look at the technology and the ingredients that we put in our products, they’re very comparable to the high-priced brands with $70.00 conditioners. Just because it’s expensive, doesn’t mean that it works.
