Moisturized, Defined, and Frizz-Free: My Curly Hair Essentials
Denman brush DUPE. Honestly I cannot even tell you the science behind it all I can tell you is I started using this 6 years ago and haven't touched my hair with anything else since. It detangles so gently I've really minimized shedding and it also cl...
Denman DUPE Brush
Don't hate me for linking shea moisture! First of all I love this because it's super lightweight and it goes over all of my water based products really nicely. It also is so great for using to refresh your curls next-day. It smells amaze and it doesn...
Coconut & Hibiscus Smooth & Shine Oil
Brazilian hair care really lives up to the hype. It is super tough to find and expensive to order online but amazon carries this and it'll hold you over until you can get the good stuff. This seriously leaves my hair soooo soft after using. Paraben, ...
Lola From Rio Moisturizing Conditioner
Omg I started using this from a recommendation from a friend about 5 years ago and haven't bought anything else since. Stays all day, leaves no white cast, and no oily feeling. I can only speak to my #B hair but the friend who recommended this to be ...
Edge control gel
WOW is right. I feel like I have tried every anti-humidity hack under the sun so needless to say I was skeptical. But this actually surprised me! I don't straighten my hair more than maybe 3x/year but this really does minimize my roots curling up on ...
COLOR WOW Extra Strength Dream Coat
Okay the proce tag is I know…sheesh. BUT the results are so valid. I keep this for rainy days when I crave a full self-care day. Will give you fully strengthened and revived curls after using. P.S. I have a more affordable version that also lives up ...
Amika soulfood nourishing hair mask
Budget friendly and totally an underdog! I will put this on before sleeping and put my hair in a high bun and call it a night. When I wake up its like it soaks into my hair and the movement is crazy! If you don't have time for an all-nighter - just p...
Argan Oil Hair Mask and Deep Conditioner
This is definitely more of a nice-to-have rather than a must-have. If I am styling my hair it definitely beats a classic spray bottle. It will save you time in the long run and is only 8 bucks…why not?! Additionally we love a multi-use product! I als...
Continuous Mister Spray Bottle
Miss Jessie's more like miss Yessies. That was so lame lol but anyway this stuff is great for everyday and particularly works really well for me in the summer for combating frizz. Its lightweight so it works well for all hair types. It defines curls ...
Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls
Lightweight but so moisturizing, this cream defines curls without crunch, tackiness, or buildup. It’s perfect for soft, bouncy definition and smells amazing (but not overpowering). I use it on damp hair after leave-in, and it helps my curls stay hydr...
Rizos Curl Defining Cream
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I genuinely love this serum. It’s super light, doesn’t make my roots greasy, and feels like a little reset button for my scalp. I use it around my edges and part line a few times a week, especially after protective s...
Restoring Hair & Edge Drops - CÉCRED | Ulta Beauty
This is deep conditioning luxury. Thick, creamy, and ultra-nourishing, it leaves my curls feeling like butter without weighing them down. I use it once in a while, interchangeably with other deep conditioning masks (ballin on a budget here) when my h...
CÉCRED Reconstructing Treatment Mask
Clarifying shampoo is a non‑negotiable in my routine. I aim for once every 7–10 days to reset my curls and remove buildup (without stripping natural oils). This one gets the job done without that squeaky‑clean strip‑my‑scalp feeling. It actually make...
Clarifying Detox Shampoo - Living Proof
Okay hear me out…hair glosses are for curly hair too! Despite what some people think, this stuff actually makes my curls look so alive and shiny without weighing them down or making them crunchy. I use it after deep wash day or whenever my curls are ...
Perfect hair Day High-Shine Gloss - Living Proof
This is my go-to when I want a shine boost without blowing my budget. It gives that glassy, light-reflective finish to curls that can sometimes look flat or dry. I treat it more like a mini gloss treatment after conditioning in the shower and it leav...
Glossing Lamination Mask for Lasting Shine - L'Oréal EverPure Sulfate Free
This is my go-to for keeping my hair strong and less prone to breakage. I use it 2–3 times a week, and it’s made a real difference in how sturdy and smooth my strands feel over time. It’s not heavy, doesn’t mess with curl pattern, and works well as a...
