My 2B–2C Hair Routine 🌀💜
10
items After trying way too many curly hair products, these are the ones I actually keep coming back to. ✨ This is my personal 2B–2C routine, from wash day to styling, with products I've genuinely used and loved on my own hair.
I chose these based on what h...
I really like this shampoo when I want my hair to feel properly clean without needing to use a ton of product. My scalp feels fresh afterwards and my hair doesn't have that heavy, coated feeling. It can feel a little strong if your hair is already ve...
Mielle Rosemary Mint Strengthening & Clarifying Shampoo
This conditioner gives my hair a lot of slip, which makes detangling so much easier. I like that it leaves my curls soft without making them completely lose their shape. I wouldn't use too much on finer 2B hair, but for my 2B–2C days it gives me the ...
PATTERN Beauty Medium Conditioner by Tracee Ellis Ross
This is one of those products I reach for when my hair just feels a little sad and dry. It makes my curls feel softer and smoother without leaving a super heavy layer on them. I don't think I need it every wash, but using it occasionally makes a not...
Briogeo Hair Care Don't Despair Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask
I honestly think a good detangling brush makes wash day so much easier. I use this on wet, conditioned hair and it goes through tangles pretty easily without feeling too harsh. It's also nice for distributing styling products evenly before I start sc...
Wet Brush Original Detangler Hair Brush for Wet and Dry ...
Such a simple addition to my routine, but I really prefer this over a regular bath towel. It helps get the extra water out without me having to rub my curls around, and my hair feels less frizzy when I start styling. Definitely one of those little cu...
Kitsch Super Absorbent Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap, 1 Count
I love using this when my hair needs some extra softness and slip before styling. It makes detangling much easier and doesn't leave my curls feeling coated. A little goes a long way for me, so I usually start with a small amount and add more if my en...
Kinky Curly Knot Today Leave In Detangler
This is one of my favorite options when I want my curls to look more defined but still soft. It helps my curls clump together nicely and gives them a smoother look without making them feel super stiff. I do have to be careful with the amount because ...
Rizos Curls Curl Defining Cream, 10 fl oz
This is probably my favorite step when I'm going for bigger, bouncier curls. It gives me definition while still keeping some volume, which I really like for 2B–2C hair. The hold is stronger than I expected from a mousse, but I still get a soft finish...
The Doux Mousse Def Texture Foam 7oz
A diffuser makes such a difference when I want my curls to dry faster without completely losing their shape. I usually use lower heat and airflow and focus on my roots first. It also gives me way more volume than letting my hair dry completely on its...
Conair Universal Volumizing Diffuser Attachment for Hair ...
I mostly use this at the very end, especially on my ends and any little frizzy pieces. It gives my curls a really nice shine without making them look super oily. I only need a tiny amount though — especially with 2B hair, because too much oil can tak...
