Luxury Hair Care Products for Black Hair?

[VRBeauty]

My SIL's birthday is coming up. She's in the process of growing out her hair, which she's straightened or processed for many years now, to a natural style. Does anyone know of a good line of hair care products for natural black hair - perhaps something in the "luxurious" range that she probably wouldn't get for herself - that I can treat her to?

The DevaCurl line has a cult following but is for curly hair. Mixed chicks is also very popular but not as pricey (still much higher end than Pantene). There's a curly hair forum that has many product recommendations for various hair types. Also a place like Ulta or Sephora may have some great ideas. So nice of you!

Rosebloom: Thank you for the suggestions! I ended up going to a local beauty supply emporium today - realizing this would be my last chance to do so before I see my SIL - and the stylist there recommended DevaCurl, with Mixed Chicks getting a slightly less enthusiastic recommendation. I got the DevaCurl no-poo cleanser and "set it free" leave-in conditioner. She's going for the tight short curls look. I hope these will help get her started!

(BTW the stylist noted that my hair is also somewhat coarse - I took his unspoken suggestion and got some of the leave-in conditioner for myself too. My hair has been pretty dull of late.)

Would like to suggest mizani hair products ...It is favorable by all means..I am just truly influenced by the results given by it...

Hi VRBeauty,

I'm not sure how "luxury" it is, but Luv Naturals http://www.luvnaturals.com/ has all kinds of different beauty products and accessories for growing out natural hair. They have a line of shampoos and conditioners too.
I haven't actually used any of their products, so I can't vouch for their quality (sorry! )

I bet your SIL has gorgeous hair!

DevaCurl was exactly what I was going to recommend!

have you checked out Whole Foods? I know rainbow in the Mission in S.F. carries a couple of really nice natural products for black hair.

DevaI Curl gets another vote from me. Also, Carol' Daughter has a great line of products--I believe they were just for AA hair, but I got the vanilla hair conditioner and was quite pleased with it.
