I’ve had curly hair ever since going through puberty, so I’ve been trying products for many, many years 😂 I’ve found that I have to switch it up every now and then for the best results, so here is a list of products I’ve tried, liked, and continue to use! When styling curly hair, it’s best to do while wet straight out of the shower. I air dry my hair, but it does turn out nicely with the diffuser on a hair dryer. I put a leave in conditioner in right out of the shower, followed by a cream product, then a gel product. After my hair has tried, I “scrunch the crunch” with a hair oil! At night, I put my hair in a silk scrunchie or silk bonet (depending on the day), and then occasionally use a curl revival spray to get the most out of my non-hair-wash days! Hope this helps!!
