Truly the best protein mask for curly hair. Its great if your curls are starting to look lifeless or dull
8.5 oz K-PAK Deep-Penetrating Reconstructor - Joico
Absolute tried and true favorite hair gel. The product defines your curls while keeping them bouncy all day. My favorite part is that this product creates a great gel cast which ensures that the curls last all day.
Not Your Mother's - 6.0 oz Curl Talk Frizz Control Hair Sculpting Gel
One of my favorite mousses. It doesn't weigh down your hair, gives lots of defining volume and protects against frizz
Not Your Mother's - 7.0 oz Curl Talk Curl Activating Hair Mousse
I like to use moisture treatments at least twice a week. Its important to keep the balance between protein and moisture- this one is my favorite!
3.2 oz Ultimate Repair Miracle Hair Rescue - Wella
I use this shampoo for regular wash days. It is super moisturizing and does not contain any protein or sulfates, so you don't have to worry about drying your hair out or protein overload which can be detrimental to curly hair. Its one of the only sha...
Lightweight Hydration + Hibiscus Water Shampoo
I love this conditioner because it doesn't have any protein in it, so its super moisturizing and leaves your hair bouncy and soft
12.5 oz Superfoods Kale + Apple Replenishing Conditioner - Briogeo
I use a detox shampoo about once every week, or whenever I oil my scalp. A healthy scalp is super important to aid in hair growth and retain hair health. It also revives curls and removes product build up from gels and mouses.
13.5 oz Scalp Sync Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - Biolage
This oil is great to scrunch out a gel cast with. My hair gets weighed down from oils quite easily but this one is super light weight and leaves my hair shiny. I even use it if I blow out my hair as well.
2.0 oz Ghost Weightless Hair Oil - Verb
This is another one of my favorite light weight oils for crunching out curls. I also use this oil even when I don't have product in my hair, or when I wear it straight (I use the oil before and after applying heat)
Kérastase Hair Oil
I always wonder why this product (and hair line) in specific is never talked about. Hands down my favorite hydrating/ moisturizing mask. Its important to keep your curls hydrated to prevent frizz, and also to offset any protein overload. I try to use...
Davine's NOUNOU Hair Mask
Accessories: Diffusers, Towels, Bonnets
I unfortunately have to say the dyson is totally worth it. I got mine refurbished from Walmart and absolutley love it and have no issues with it at all. Its signifigantly less expensive. I use the diffuser attatchment to dry my hair in sections, maki...
Restored Premium Dyson Supersonic™ Hair Dryer | Iron/Fuchsia ...
I love using this wand to do touch ups on some sections that did not curl correctly.
BaBylissPRO - Nano Titanium 1/2'' Super Slim Wand
I sleep in bonnets to protect my curls. I bought two, one for when I sleep with a mask on and one for when my hair is clean
Black Satin Sleep Bonnet - Kitsch
Love this micro-fiber towel. It is great to throw on your hair when you are applying makeup or getting dressed. I never use a traditional towel on my hair in order to avoid any damage and breakage. This is a great alternative as it is lightweight and...
Anti-Frizz Microfiber Towel Wrap - DevaTwist™
