Curly Haircare Essentials 🧖🏽♀️

items I have 4A hair with tight, bouncy coils, and my results are very product-dependent. Being intentional with what I use is the only way I keep my curls smooth, defined, and frizz-free. Since my hair stays pulled back all day for work, this is how I mai...

Hair Masks
I love a good hair mask, especially when my hair stays pulled back all week and the winter cold makes it dry and brittle. I use this twice a week, and after extended straightening, it restores my curls to healthy, bouncy perfection. The difference is...
nourishing hair mask for dry hair : soulfood
Fun fact: when I first got this in a subscription box, I didn’t read the label carefully and used it as a hair cream for a year instead of a mask 🤦♀️. Despite that, my hair only benefited—my curls lasted longer and felt healthier. I highly recommen...
The Comeback Kid Instant Damage Repair Treatment Bond Builder
Cremes and Leave ins
First of all, look at the size of this product—for the price, I’ll never run out! You can also bundle it with the Comeback Kid product to save some money and get both full-sized. I wash and style my hair once a week and use this every time. The “no c...
The Homecurl | Curl-Defining Cream | Fenty Hair
Shampoo and Conditioner
I love this shampoo! I also learned from the Curl Whisperer that using a clarifying shampoo is key for removing buildup—curly hair tends to accumulate product faster than you’d expect. This one feels soothing and minty while washing, smells amazing, ...
Nº.4 BOND MAINTENANCE® SHAMPOO
This is the matching conditioner to that shampoo, and it’s amazing—my hair detangles in just a few swipes of the brush. It also leaves my hair feeling like I already have cream in it straight out of the shower.
No.5 Bond Maintenance® Conditioner for Healthier-Looking Hair
I love this shampoo—it’s a more affordable and accessible alternative sold at Target. My hair ends up smooth, easy to detangle, and it helps with frizz. Plus, it smells amazing and has a high health rating on Yuka: 86/100. Which means very healthy an...
Curly Pop Curl Defining Shampoo
This is the matching conditioner to that shampoo—same great results. My hair comes out feeling very moisturized, smooth, easy to detangle, frizz‑friendly, and smells amazing. 10/10.
Curly Pop Curl Defining Conditioner
Accessories
This is hands-down the best brush I’ve ever owned. I’ve tried the Denman and every curly-hair trend, but nothing compares. I actually got this at my curly cut. The holes in the back prevent product buildup on the brush—everything just washes off—so y...
UNbrush Detangling Hair Brush Collection
I don’t even know how many years I’ve had this brush—it feels like it was magically bestowed on me and has never broken. It really lasts forever.
Tip: I put the curl instructions under Fenty Homecurl Crème. After following those steps, bunch each se...
Curlipops 1875 Watt Diffuser Dryer
This is a 100% affordable deal—I actually got it at TJ Maxx. It’s super budget-friendly and works really well for me. I pass it over a section about three times and it straightens it, but not sleek straight, so I follow up with an iron for a sleek fi...
Generic GEM Hot Air Styling Brush Pearl White
Another affordable straightening option! It can get really hot, so if you like higher heat, it’s great—but I usually keep it at a medium setting after using my Gem Brush
Conair Double Ceramic 1-Inch Flat Iron
Hair Mists
I know it says body spray, but the Lush team says it works as a hair mist too—and with healthy, natural products like this, they’re not kidding. It has a fresh, lemony scent, and I love having my hair smell good. One spray lasts for days pretty much ...
Super Milk Body Spray
Heat-Protected Straightening
I’ve struggled to find heat protectants that actually work for me, but with this one, I notice a difference. No big smoke cloud, no sizzling sounds—just smooth, protected hair. Definitely a product I like.
Forcefield Heat Shield | Vegan Formula that helps shield from heat
I don’t use this as my regular hair moisturizer. I apply it as a cream when I straighten my hair because it’s lightweight, helps control frizz, provides UV protection, and smells insanely good. It’s perfect for straightening, since you want to make s...
