I cannot think of one curly who is anti-all natural products or anti-slip. Nope, no one comes to mind! India from My Natural Sistas creates another leave-in conditioner that gives us all the feels! After noticing that some of her favorite detanglers (i.e. Kinky-Curly Knot Today and Soultanicals Knot Sauce) contain common denominators (marshmallow root and slippery elm), she decided to create her own concoction that gave her slip, shine, and a slight hold. Check it out!
