Curl Fresh Sulfate-Free {Shampoo}
After a double shampoo, I recommend all of my clients follow up with a conditioner. This one is perfect for folks that are curly / naturally textured with finer hair strands and lower density. It’s one of the lightest that AG offers while still addin...
Curl Fresh Silicone-Free {Conditioner}
Super hydrating shampoo, my favourite option as it’s versatile while still packing a hydrating punch. It’s perfect for medium density, average curly / naturally textured hair. Compared to Curl Fresh - I consider this the more hydrating option.

Curl Revive Hydrating {Shampoo}
The other half of Curl Revive - Thrive hydrating conditioner is one of the most moisturizing and hydrating options I carry in the shop. It’s the best tool when detangling wet curly hair that’s medium-high density and average - coarse in strand.

Curl Thrive Hydrating {Conditioner}
PRODUCTS
The following products were found to be stand outs among the brand.
I like to think of Re:coil as a cream / gel. This is a go to for myself and most of my clients. I consider it a primer, or a perfect one&done that excels in memory and soft, touchable hold for your curls / waves.

Your New Bestie, Re:Coil {Hydration & Hold}
When I think about styling curly hair, I break it down into 2 parts: hydration & hold. This product falls right in the middle for me. Enough hydration alone for fine hair while being the perfect amount of hold for a light, airy cast you can shake...
SPRAY GEL Thermal Setting Spray {Hold}
CLOUD!!!
This is one of my ultimate favourite products by AG. Its versatility is unmatched. Use on wet, damp or dry hair for different effects. For myself, cloud is my light and airy refresh. After a dry haircut, i love reaching for this and a mist...
CLOUD Air Light Volumizing Mousse {Hydration + Light Hold}
Surprisingly hydrating for a gel, a favourite of a lot of clients! I like to start with a quarter sized amount, emulsify and rake through hair in sections, adding more when hands feel dry.

LIQUID EFFECTS Medium-Hold Weightless Gel {Light Hydration & Medium Hold}
This is a must have for all my curly friends. I use Curl Trigger as a refreshing / defining spray in between cleanses to help rehydrate and redefine bundles with a protective cast.

CURL TRIGGER Defining Spray {Hydration / Hold}
Don’t let the title fool you - this product is light to medium hold at best. I do love this as a light and airy option, but most times find myself pairing it with another product in order to get hold that lasts days.
My Tips👇
1. Awesome as light ...
MOUSSE GEL Extra-Firm Curl Retention {Hold}
This is a product most of my clients go home with. It’s a little jar of magic, using volcanic ash as a texturizing ingredient, just a little goes a long way with this guy.
1. Volcanic Ash is excellent for absorbing oils, making dry lift act like a...
DRY LIFT Texture & Volume Paste {Hold / Volume}
A heavy, ultra hydrating option for all types of hair. Works exceptionally well with water so can be diluted for a thinner application on dry low density, fine curls and or waves.
