💆♀️ Daily (a.k.a. Core Lineup)
These are my regulars — the products I reach for most often to wash, style, and maintain my curls.
These make my curls feel so soft and clean without drying them out. Plus, the smell?? Literal spa vibes. I notice way better definition when I use these!
Curl Defining Shampoo & Conditioner
Texas humidity could never. 😤 This keeps my curls defined and frizz-free even on sticky days. It’s a little pricier, but it WORKS.
Advanced Climate Control® Heat & Humidity Gel
Lightweight but still gives me bounce and definition. Doesn’t leave my hair crunchy or greasy, just soft and defined.
Hydrating Curl Cream for Curl Defining Moisture
This is my secret weapon for frizz and shine ✨ I use this on damp hair and it smooths everything without feeling oily.
ghost™ oil | shine + smooth frizz
💨 Styling Tools
The tools that make styling faster, easier, and better for my curls.
This brush changed my curl game. Perfect for defining curls after applying product — it clumps everything beautifully with way less frizz.
Denman Brush – Denman USA
I don’t know the exact model but this blue Conair with a diffuser has been my ride or die!
Hair Dryers - conair
Yes, I probably should use a Wet Brush…but this one works just fine! It’s not fancy, doesn’t claim to be a miracle worker—just gets the job done with zero drama—or Wet Brush in sight. Sometimes “it’s perfectly OK” is all you really need.
Revlon Straight & Smooth Paddle Brush Set
🌀 Backup Heroes
Products I don’t use every wash day, but I always keep them stocked because they’re perfect when my hair needs something different.
Gives nice definition without feeling heavy. I grab this when I want soft, bouncy curls that still move.
Rizos Curls Defining Cream - 10 fl oz
The name doesn’t lie — leaves curls soft, touchable, and defined.
Miss Jessie's Jelly Soft Curls Gel - 8.5 fl oz
A great budget-friendly gel that gives hold and definition. I pull this out when I want something strong but not stiff.
Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Gel
Love this for volume and definition in one step. It’s perfect when I want a lighter, fluffier finish.
MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz
She’s cheap but great! I use it to seal in moisture, add shine, or smooth frizz when my hair feels dry.
Jojoba Oil for Hair Care | Strengthen & Hydrate
Lightweight and non-greasy, perfect for adding shine without weighing curls down.
Hair Oil
🌙 Overnight Care
Simple accessories that keep my curls from getting crushed or frizzy while I sleep.
Cute and protective. I use these to pineapple my hair at night or for a soft bun that won’t pull or break my curls.
