This homecoming season, students, alumni, and the community at large will come together at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country to celebrate the rich legacy that connects past, present, and future classes.

For HBCU student-athletes Nevaeh Johnson and Tyree Newman, a big part of gearing up for the festivities means tapping into the essentials that help them look and feel their best. Self-care is key for these busy student-athletes as they juggle workouts, big games, and staying on top of their grades. Below, we detail some of the products that Nevaeh and Tyree use to stay refreshed through all of the homecoming parties, games, concerts and more.

Nevaeh’s Pick: The Doux Silent Hair Treatment Humidity Shield

Nevaeh’s hair care secret is The Doux Silent Hair Treatment and Humidity Shield. This heat-activated humidity protectant keeps the Alabama A&M sophomore’s curls looking fresh and flawless, both on and off the volleyball court. Its keratin-infused treatment protects textured hair from frizz and humidity while maintaining a smooth finish, no matter the weather. Nevaeh sprays, styles, and she’s ready to go, with frizz protection for up to four washes. “This treatment is my go-to for fighting humidity and keeping my styles locked in. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for game days and the celebrations that come after.”

Tyree’s Pick: Papatui Refreshing Body Wash

Tyree stays fresh with his Papatui Refreshing Body Wash. Available in three clean scents, this energizing body wash keeps the Texas Southern University track and field athlete feeling clean and revitalized. Rich in coconut oil, the Papatui Refreshing Body Wash deeply cleanses and exfoliates while keeping Tyree’s skin hydrated. This body wash is vegan, cruelty-free, and made with gentle ingredients — no sulfates, parabens, or phthalates here. “It’s the perfect start to my homecoming day, leaving me refreshed and ready to represent Texas Southern University.”
