Shampoos & Conditioners
This one is a great cleanser! You can find CurlSmith products at Marshalls and TJMaxx, which is where I found mine. I really want to try their Frizz Control Shampoo.
Full Body Weightless Shampoo
Love this! Honestly, I think I love most frizz control products, but it all starts with shampoo and conditioner, and I feel like this conditioner really gave me a head start.
Frizz Control Duo Conditioner
Combined with the conditioner, my dry and frizzy hair was alive again!!
32.0 oz NO-POO ORIGINAL Zero Lather Cleanser For Rich Moisture - DevaCurl | Ulta Beauty
I can't tell you how much of a relief it was to see how well this worked for me. By the time I got to the end of the bottle, I could tell that my hair had gotten used to it, so it was time for a change.
32.0 oz ONE CONDITION ORIGINAL Rich Cream Conditioner - DevaCurl | Ulta Beauty
This is the set I started with. It was a great start for me bc they were very gentle, and gave my curls some shape.
Cantu Sulfate-Free Cream Shampoo & Conditioner Bundle, 13.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Styling
I'm learning to love this one. It definitely shapes and controls my frizz, giving it a nice shine, but I think my hair might just be too heavy for it to add volume.
Invincible Volume Mousse
Love love love. Wakes up my curls when they're a bit droopy, and doesn't feel too heavy.
Miss Jessie's Senora Rizada Hair Gel, 8.5 oz
Not my favorite, but this really did sculpt my curls for the day. It did leave a sort of film after like 5 hours though. I thought that I used too much, but when I used less, it wouldn't work very well. I think this product just wasn't strong enough ...
Curl Sculptor Moisturizing & Fast Drying Leave-In Conditioner - Mixed Chicks | Ulta Beauty
Another product I started with that's not too heavy. Not a favorite of mine anymore bc my curls have become more demanding, but if you need a small boost, I think this is a good pick!
12.0 oz Coconut & Hibiscus Smoothie Curl Enhancing Cream - SheaMoisture | Ulta Beauty
This has a great hold for the day, but I've found that I need to reapply. Everyone's curls are different, so this might just work for you!
Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Curl Envy Cream Hair Styling Product & Softener - Shea Butter - 6 fl oz
Extras
Apply this from your roots to ends, leave it for 10 mins, rinse, and then apply your shampoo and conditioner in the shower. I have no idea how, but it really makes me feel like it strengthens my hair. This is definitely one of my favorites!!
Goddess Strength, Ultra Shield Pre-Poo, For Weak, Breakage-Prone Hair, 10.2 fl oz (300 ml, Carol's Daughter
This made my scalp feel so clean! I only had a small sample from the gift set I received, but I'd definitely buy this for myself.
8.0 oz BUILDUP BUSTER Gentle Clarifying Cleanser - DevaCurl | Ulta Beauty
This is THE set. I think this brand really saved my curls. They never looked so healthy and bouncy before I used this brand and I'm still chasing that high. 😂
Curly 3-Step System
