NTM Deep Recovery Hair Mask
Joico K-Pak ( everything)
Adore black velvet rinse
Hollywood beauty olive cholesterol
Phyto Organics Humectin and Theratin
CHI Silk Infusion
Aphogee green tea reconstructerizer
HE LTR leave in
ULI leave in
 
Type 4 natural.

The only thing I can say for sure is a staple is coconut oil. I started using it early in my journey and still use it now. It can be used for everything...pre-wash, conditioner, dc, detangler, sealer, smoother...and I'm sure I'll find new uses for it in the future.

If I'm still using them a year from now then AO conditioners and bentonite clay will be staples as well.
 
4a relaxed, some 3c (it's a guess; I can't really tell).

The two staples are my relaxer and coconut oil.
