This curl smoothie is the only product that keeps the frizz at bay and helps me get great definition - without weighing my hair down too much. I use it when my hair is dripping wet before wrapping in a towel - nice and squishy!
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancing Smoothie

I have tried 10000000 mousses and this will always be my favourite. It's got great hold but is never crunchy. I use it for wet styling and occasionally on refresh days.
SheaMoisture Coconut & Hibiscus Frizz Free Curl Mousse

I use this oil to scrunch out the crunch on wash days, as well as on refresh days on my hands while I shake out my curls, and a light gloss over the crown to add shine back in.
HASK Argan Oil Repairing Hair Oil 100mL

This is a refresh day saviour, I've tried a million products and techniques but nothing restores order without adding crunch or stringiness like this creme. I glaze over to top of my hair, then finger coil key sections that have lost definition.

The Maui Moisture shampoo/conditioner duo have been a long-time favourite of mine - sulphate free and hydrating. Also love how affordable it is.

This is my curl gel (applied on wet hair, first thing out of the shower). I like the hold, price and packaging (I use the mini version of this for travel too).

OK I loooooove this gel (and the price is unreal for the amount of product) but the tub takes up a lot of space, which is honestly the only reason I don't use it. If you don't mind that then I fully recommend!

This brush is great for separating, shaping and defining curls during wet styling.

OK, I know this is not a cheap hari dryer! BUT the Dyson is so much quicker and gentler than my previous dryers/diffusers, I really can't go past it. They are easy to travel with too.

The BEST thing for keeping your curls intact overnight is a silk bonnet! I can't recommend it enough. This store has loads of styles and sizes to suit your needs and hair length/volume.

Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is sooooo good for your skin and hair (curly or not!), I'd recommend having 2 or 3 to rotate between :) This store has loads of colours and patterns to choose from.

So handy for parting, styling, keeping roots tidy and updos between wash days.
