Before Styling
In the notes of each product will be a step my step of what to do with each product! Starting with my favorite shampoo, conditioner, spray bottle and hair brush for beginning the process of styling your curly hair!
Starting with shampoo and conditioner, I am a big fan of the strictly curls brand by Marc Anthony! It smells great and has shea butter and oil to keep your hair from being too dry right out of the shower
Marc Anthony Strictly Curls 3x Moisture Shampoo for Curly Hair - Shea Butter & Marula Oil - 16 fl oz
This is the conditioner from the same brand, I definitely recommend using them together but if you can only afford one of the two, the conditioner is my absolute favorite!
Marc Anthony Strictly Curls 3x Moisture Conditioner for Curly Hair - Shea Butter & Marula Oil - 16 fl oz
Incase you are starting with dry hair, spraying your hair to be basically dripping wet is very important! This spray bottle sprays continuously so you don’t get a cramp trying to wet your whole head, I love this thing it has saved my hands
Kitsch Continuous Hair Accessory Spray - Black
Brush out wet hair, this brush is great for wet hair that needs detangling, it barely pulls which is awesome for my hair right out of the shower!
Wet Brush Original Detangling Hair Brush - Endless Summer Ice Cream - Limited Edition
Beginning Styling
After prepping your hair, these are the products and steps I take to get my curls the way I like them!
Next I use the leave in conditioner, for some reason the spray feature on my container doesn’t work correctly I’m not sure if every bottle is like that, but I spray a generous amount into my hand and run it through my hair focusing on the bottoms but...
Marc Anthony Strictly Curls®, Curl Envy Leave-In Conditioner, Avocado Oil + Shea Butter, 8.4 fl oz (250 ml)
Then I section my hair into roughly 4 sections, I use about a quarter size amount on each section of my hair, again trying my best to keep the most of it away from my roots (if you use a large amount on your roots it could cause it to dry looking oil...
Marc Anthony Strictly Curls Curl Envy Cream Hair Styling Product & Softener - Shea Butter - 6 fl oz
This hair gel is so cheap and the amount you get it crazy, I have had mine for almost 3 months now and it’s not going to run out anytime soon! I get a good amount onto my hands and rub it into my palms, then squeeze my hair in between my two hands in...
ECO STYLE Professional Olive Styling Gel - 16 fl oz
Finishing Style
After styling, dry your hair and set it with a hair spray for long lasting curls!
Go in with your hair dryer with the defuser attachment I usually start with the highest setting, going back and forth on each side of my head making sure to get both sides of the hair, the top layer and under layer. This part usually takes a while bu...
Conair InfinitiPRO Performa Series Ionic Ceramic Hair Dryer
If you already have a hairdryer that doesn’t have the defuser attachment, here is one that should fit on most hairdryers, you just push it onto the end of the dryer.
Conair Universal Double Ceramic Diffuser Attachment
The last step before being finished is to make sure to scrunch out your hair after it’s dry, this will make it not crunch from the gel but will still give you the hold from the gel itself. I sometimes use this hair spray if I think I’m going to be ou...
Garnier Fructis Style Sleek & Shine Hairspray - 8.25oz
Alternate Option
This is what I use for the finger coil method, a little more time consuming but creates the look of curling iron curls! Read the product note for step by step!
For a different and a little more time consuming method, I will start with all of the first steps by wetting, brushing and conditioning my hair, but then section my hair into top layer and bottom layer. Then I will take a stand of hair (the amount yo...
