When you hear the name Afro Sheen, we’re sure it conjures up images of glossy afros from the ’70s and maybe even a Soul Train line or two, but the Afro Sheen of today is most definitely not your mama or daddy’s haircare line, though it could be. Strength of Nature recently relaunched the iconic haircare brand and, unlike many collections that hit the market today in small quantities, Afro Sheen has come out the gate with nine products and they’re all stylers.

Like it’s original iteration, the new Afro Sheen is a unisex line, complete with creams and other products men and women with textured hair can use. The universality of the collection is apparent in the packaging design as well as the scent of Sultry Oud, fused with key ingredients like Keratin, Coconut Oil and Castor Oil, which offers up earthy masculine notes. While we’re digging the whole line and the accompanying merch, these are our five standout products from the collection.

Texture Setting Cream Gel

I’m a fan of any product that let’s me skip a step in the styling process and this cream gel definitely eliminates the need for cocktailing. Providing as much moisture as it does definition thanks to a combination of shea butter and coconut and flaxseed oil, this is perfect for wash n ‘gos and beaus who don’t want to do a lot of work to make their texture pop.

Velvet Flow 4-IN-1 Leave-In Spray

This spray is good for detangling, refreshing next-day curls, moisturizing hair, and protecting against heat damage, making it an easy new go-to. It’s also infused with an ingredient we don’t see often — Madagascar vanilla — which is helpful for length retention.

Lush ‘Fro Butter

This butter is all about softness and shine. Simply place a small amount into the palm of your hands and rub together before working into your hair and scalp. It’s also perfect for conditioning beards.

Slick Back Cream Styler

It’s not often we think of using cream-based products for slick styles like ponytails and buns but that’s exactly what this styler was created for. Shea butter and avocado and coconut oil smooth strands down without greasiness or flaking and you can apply as needed to damp or dry hair.

3-IN-1-Nourishing Oil

Just like the name says, this oil nourishes the hair on your head and your face thanks to the jojoba oil, Vitamin E, and argan oil complex which adds shine and moisture.
