Curly Girl Friendly
15
items Tried and true Curly Girl Approved products that help ALL of your curls.
This is a non-negotiable on wash day. It's lightweight, unlike heat protecting creams and oils, and it doesn't weigh my curls down. It saturates my hair beautifully assisting with curl clumping, the spray element helps with product distribution, and ...
Miracle Shield - Curlsmith
It took me awhile to decide how I felt about this one. However, after experimenting for several wash days, I realized I do love it. A little of this product emulsified well with a little water, followed by a curl defining mousse, and finished with a ...
Flo-etry Vital Natural Serum for Curly Hair - Color Wow
For someone with naturally curly hair, this is a must in my wash day lineup. It locks in my curls giving them hold for days without leaving them stiff or sticky. It also works wonders for beach waves. I've tried every product out there that promises ...
sea spray | weightless + light texture - Verb Products
I grew up using (and still do) Dove soap but when they expanded into haircare I was a little more than hesitant. Products marketed for curly hair are often expensive, don't work, and end up taking space in my cabinet or worse thrown away. However, th...
Dove Damage Therapy Amino Curl Repair 10 in 1 Cream Mask
Hands down, this is the ONLY curl gel on the market worth spending your money on! Whatever magic they've concocted to have it define, provide shine, hold, AND leave ZERO crunch, flakes, or sticky residue to your hair is a miracle in itself. I would b...
Irish Sea Moss Gel | Love Ur Curls® – LUS Brands (US)
I found this oil by chance at TJ Maxx and I'm glad I did. It's the perfect hair oil for my curls. It penetrates my hair & doesn't leave an oily residue. It also leaves my hair soft & glossy without using too much product. It smells great and...
Bonding Oil | Silicone-Free for Curly Hair - Curlsmith
Although this isn't a curly girl specific product, I do love the bounce it gives my curls. It's also lightweight and airy providing nice definition while still allowing my curls to move without leaving a cast or residue behind. The one downfall I've ...
Air Dry Mousse - Kristin Ess Hair
I used to sit at the salon for HOURS getting my hair colored. I always loved the outcome but it ate up most of my day AND I'm not one to sit for very long without getting antsy. I've tried EVERY box dye on the market, but this one has to be a top 3 c...
ColorStrong Zero Ammonia Permanent Hair Dye | Clairol US
I have to admit, I don't always take the time to section out my hair and brush it out like I should. However, when I have the time and feel like getting an extra workout in, this brush is 10/10. It does ALL the things it claims to do. It defines my c...
Define EdgeLift Brush - Bounce Curl
I can't speak on the fancy $200+ curly girl blow dryers because I haven't had the nerve to throw down the money for one, but this one gets the job done. I do have the curly and the coily diffusers which you have to purchase separately (annoying but a...
Conair Curl Collective 1875W Ionic Dryer
Finding the right hair wrap to protect your curls at night has always been a battle until I found these. They're large enough to hold my thick, heavy curls but comfortable enough that I keep it on all night. Paired with a Kitsch silk pillowcase, it's...
Kitsch x Harry Potter Satin Wrapped Hair Towel in Gryffindor
I'll admit, I used to buy the silk and satin pillowcases from Ross or TJ Maxx. Now, there's nothing wrong with buying those, they're budget friendly and they for me until I found Kitsch. These are top notch! They don't pill, they keep their softness ...
Shop All Pillowcases | KITSCH
I love these scrunchies! They're an improved and much needed updated version of the ones I wore as a kid, and they're curl friendly. My hair is too thick and heavy to use them for up-dos but they're perfect to hold my hair back when I need it out of...
Kitsch Satin Scrunchies - No Crease, Frizz Control
With all the dry shampoo options out there, this one is definitely worth spending more on. One of my biggest issues with most dry shampoos on the market is the strong scent, but Amika has managed to make theirs smell amazing, long lasting, and not ov...
dry shampoo with no white residue : perk up - Amika
This is a wash day styling MUST HAVE. It's a great post wash towel and perfect for wrapping your hair during plopping or deep conditioning. It also makes for a great wrap when you need your curls up but still want them protected. I love it so much I ...
Conair THE CURL COLLECTIVE T-Shirt Towel, Black ... - Walmart
