I love this for when I feel like my scalp needs some extra cleansing without drying out my curls
COME CLEAN SHAMPOO
 
Alena B profile picture
My most repurchased conditioner, I love to use it as a leave in and it works well mixed with gel to style and get softer curls
KNOT TODAY LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER
 
Alena B profile picture
A nice budget option that does a great job. The smell is lighter than their styling products and I find that my hair is very shiny after using this. Love that it’s widely available so if I’m somewhere I can’t get my usual picks I have something that ...

Great budget conditioner. Leaves my hair super soft and very little goes a loooong way! Has a nice light smell that doesn’t linger.

I love to use this either right before or mixed with my gel and it gives me such touchable soft curls. LOVE!
Quiet Calm Curl Control
 
Alena B profile picture
My number one holy grail hair gel!! It creates a really nice cast so I get excellent definition, but there is no icky residue once you break the cast like with some other gels, so with this I don’t have to sacrifice curl definition to have soft, touc...

I love this for when I want a lighter hold that still gives a good amount of definition
I Create Curl Memory

Does exactly what it promises, and a little goes a LONG way. The smell is so nice and light, too.
I Create Shine – Innersense Organic Beauty Inc

Works well enough to use on its own, but I like pairing it with a mouse for really good volume and definition
Curly Magic

I’ve repurchased this so many times I’ve lost count. It pairs with the Knot Today conditioner and makes my curls *perfect*
CURLING CUSTARD

Don’t sleep on this cuz it’s inexpensive. It works so well!!
Extra Hold Shaping Mousse

Tools

A must have for all hair types. This is so good for stimulating the scalp and also saves your nails if that’s something you are mindful of!
HEETA Scalp Massager Hair Growth Scrubber
 
Alena B profile picture
Use this to comb through conditioner in the shower, much gentler than using a brush on dry hair.
Shower Styling Comb - Pink - up&up™
 
Alena B profile picture
A must-have. This makes styling curls so much easier than a traditional brush or comb.
Define EdgeLift Brush
 
Alena B profile picture
I am not kidding when I say this is my number one curly hair product that I recommend to EVERYONE! I would choose this over a styler because it makes such a difference in the outcome of my curls. Once I found it I have never gone back and have repurc...

THE curly hair dryer. The extra large diffuser is amazing and I love how travel friendly it is.
De-Frizzion Travel Dryer - Curlsmith | Ulta Beauty
 
Alena B profile picture
A great budget-friendly option for drying curls. I like to use the cool shot most of the time but the lowest setting is safe to use on curls without damaging or causing frizz.

Never do a messy bun without a satin scrunchie. So much better to keep from damaging curls!

I mean, we all need a bobby pin from time to time, right?
scunci Metal Bobby Pins - Dark Brown/ Black - All Hair - 50pcs
 
Alena B profile picture
Another must-have. Sleeping in one of these will help your hair so much, no matter what your texture is. I prefer these that tie over the one with the elastic for staying power cuz I am a mobile sleeper.
Evolve Products Satin Wide Edge Bonnet

If you can’t do the bonnet, at least do this! Your curls will thank you, I swear.
