I have very loose curls (3A) with normal/high porosity. I've REALLY struggled to find products that work for me and have bought nearly every popular product out there so here is what worked for me and some that maybe didn't work too well for me but m...

Wash Day
Just added this to my wash day routine recently and I LOVED it. My hair felt so clean and smooth, definitely a must have after weeks of buildup
Curl Reset Detox Shampoo
Even without the detox shampoo, this does a great job at making my hair feel clean and clear from buildup on regular weekly wash days for me.
Essential Moisture Shampoo
Makes my hair SO smooth and shiny. Truly feels so moisturized after using the shampoo and conditioner.
Essential Moisture Conditioner
Leave In Conditioner
This stuff was perfect for my loose curls. It's light weight and a little goes a long way. It also smells like cupcakes which is a bonus, I've gotten so many compliments about how good my hair smells when I use this!
Curl Love Leave-In Conditioner for Curly Hair
A fairly lightweight leave in and works so well. It leaves my hair soft and adds the perfect start to my hair routine.
Leave-In Conditioner
While technically not a leave in, I do replace it for a leave in and it works wonderfully. Sometimes I find replacing a leave in with some sort of stying product works even better!
Curl Defining Cream
Mousse
I am very new to mousse and have only tried a few and this was one of the first ones I had an experience with. If you don't mind a light hold, it works fairly well. I paired this with the not your mothers gel and the hold just wasn't strong enough fo...
Curl Talk Activating Mousse
So far, the only mousse I've tried that really locks my curls in place. Paired with a strong hold gel, it truly works wonders and doesn't weigh down my hair at all!
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam
Gel
This gel worked okay for me and same as the mousse, it's better for a lighter hold. To get a strong hold, I had to use a lot and I just felt like I was wasting a lot of product. Great for a soft but firm hold if that's what you prefer, then I 100% re...
Curl Talk Sculpting Gel
Creates a decent hold while making sure my hair is still soft without all the added crunch that comes with a gel cast
Curling Jelly
I just added this to my routine and OMG! Best gel I have tried. It creates the perfect cast and leaves my curls shiny, bouncy, and it holds for days. A little goes a long way with this product which I love because we all know how expensive curly prod...
Strong Hold Gel
Extra Products I Love
I know this brand gets a lot of hate, but when I first discovered I had curly hair, this was the ONLY product I used for 2 years. It didn't last for days without a gel, but my curls were soft, fluffy, and had a natural bed head look that I personally...
Curl Enhancing Smoothie
Not even kidding, got this as a random gift from my girlfriends grandmother because she knew I had curls and it has somehow become a go to product for me. It works like a gel almost and creates that crunch so your curls last for days. Definitely a go...
