Amazing Products For Curly Hair
Finding amazing hair products that enhance and protect curly hair are a must for me, since I live in hot and humid Miami. The problem is finding products that not only tame frizz and allow me to show off my natural hair, but that don’t leave them crunchy or lifeless. I am constantly trying out new shampoos, gels, mousses, creams and serums since so many of us have similar issues.
I have also tested out different towels, pillowcases, combs, and hair dryers. There are always new products coming out but here are the hair products for curly gals that I’ve really liked so far.
Top hair products to enhance and protect curly hair
After testing out so many curly hair products, here are some of my favorites:
- Davines Love Curl Shampoo and Conditioner: these moisturizing hair products are sulfate-free formula and help my curls be more defined. They have sustainably sourced almond extract; almonds are rich in proteins and vitamins, helping to elasticize and add volume to curly hair. I love how soft my hair feels.
- Tresemme Flawless Curls Hair Mousse: this mousse is infused with coconut and avocado oil for hydrated and bouncy curls. It defines curls without leaving them crunchy. The only challenge is to determine how much product you really need when you’re applying to your wet hair. My curls looked great the next day, as well, and if you want to “refresh” your curls you just need to spray a little water with an atomizer. The fragrance is light and fresh.
- Curl Defining Cream from Moroccanoil: this cream for curly hair smells wonderful and I really liked how it defined each curl. Don’t go overboard, though, because it can be a bit heavy and affect your hair’s shine.
- Argan oil: this very rich and conditioning oil seems to be everywhere these days. It leaves hair very soft and smells divine. The best way to use it is while your hair is wet, especially before you apply any other hair products. To reduce frizz on dry hair, make sure to warm it up in your hands before applying it. There are many brands out there but the ones I prefer are the Argan oils from L’Oreal Paris, Suave, Moroccanoil or Kerastase.
- Curlsmith Weightless Air Dry Curly Hair Cream: my makeup artist recommended this curl cream and she was right! This leave-in conditioner enhances curl texture and hydrates the hair without weighing it down. It is very light and the next day, I refreshed my curls with a water mist with no issues.
- Pattern Curl Gel: this hydrating gel gives medium hold for defined and bouncy curls. The creamy, smooth formula glides on effortlessly while nourishing hair with Aloe Vera, Coconut Oil & Cacay Oil.
- Davines This is a Curl Moisturizing Mousse: my favorite splurge when it comes to styling my curls. This mousse is hydrating, never crunchy, and helps my curls last frizz-free even in Miami humidity. When used with my Dyson diffuser, my hair looks great for DAYS.
