Curly Hair Creams

If you have wavy/curly hair, regardless of the thickness, don't sleep on the curly creams!!! It will help immensely with moisture & definition. It's a key step and I'm speaking from trial & error experience lol. If you have any questions at all, please ask!

An OG!!! I love this but since my hair is more fine, I have to be careful with how much I use or it will weigh my hair down/make it greasy!

Scrunch the crunch with hair oils! I just started using oils/serums on my curly hair within the last year or two….don't ask me how I went so long without using them, bc I don't have the answer lmaoo I just know I've been missing out

Mousse & gels

I was literally scared to use gel for so long bc I didn't want my hair to be stiff or crunchy- don't make this same mistake. Luckily I've gotten more educated on techniques, products, & just learning my curls and in conclusion…. I'll never stop using mousse and/or gel again

Just started using this again and I love it!! It will leave a slight “crunch” but once your hair is completely dry, you just scrunch it with your fav hair oil and it’s perfect

Hair tools

Diffusing my hair was a game changer- a bit time consuming but 100% worth it depending on the circumstances!!! Also, [not listed: wide tooth comb] bc you can get you a wide tooth comb from the dolla store fr
