Johnny Wright here, celebrity stylist and OurX expert. Anyone that knows me knows that the holidays are my favorite time of year. It’s the perfect time to connect with friends and family, take a breath and reset, and set your goals for the new year.

What’s better to give than the gift of healthy hair? Here are some of my top gift picks from my favorite Black-owned brands. Hope you enjoy!

__Haircare

Protection and hydration are essential. Here are some of my favorites to help keep your hair healthy and strong this winter season.

Natural and Curly Hair for Dummies ($24 on Amazon) I wrote this book to give you step-by-step direction and accurate information to manage and style your hair. The first step to healthy hair is ditching the chemicals and learning love to love your textured locks!

OurX Protection Starter Set ($68, normally $112 on ourx.co) Always use protection! This set is the perfect gift because it includes a full mini-regimen of OurX products: shampoo, conditioner, serum, and leave-in. They smell amazing, and work even better.

Curlsmith Styling Products($24+ on curlsmith.com) I love to use these products with my clients because they reduce frizz, offer flexible hold, and don’t leave crunch. They also work great with the OurX Leave-In.

Knappy Hair Extensions ($349+ on krshairgroup.com) These extensions are not only premium quality, but the curl patterns are unmatched. You can get a longer,fuller look with hair that’s made to blend with yours.

__Tools

The key to healthy hair is not just what you do on wash day, but every day in between. Make sure to use the right tools (and lay off the heat).

Revair Hair Dryer($349, normally $432 on myrevair.com This reverse air dryer saves time and effort, while also preserving your hair’s health. It functions on a low heat setting so your hair doesn’t damage while drying.

Hood Steamer If you join my Instagram lives, you know a hood steamer is one of my top favorite tools. A steamer will ensure that all the great active ingredients in your haircare products penetrate deeper and give you the best results.
