My Curly Hair NECESSITIES
18
items As a curly queen who did not figure out how to style her hair curly until I was 21 (yes I straightened and broke it off into a mullet until then) these are the products I absolutely love. I used to follow the CG method but do not anymore.

Stylers I swear by
I've used this leave in for literally 10 years. It is amazing and not to heavy weight for my hair. This is the first step I use after I shower.
Leave-In Conditioner
This gel is so cheap but I have also used this forever. I have switched it out with others but always come back to it. I love it so much.
LA Looks
The smell of this is so good guys, like so good. It's hard to describe it but I would say it borders on lemony/slightly vanilla? I use this for when my hair is really dry, smells a little, or when I just want to put it up in a protectiveish braid or ...
Super Milk Conditioning Hair Primer
This product is also SUPER heavy on my hair but I also love it for when I braid my hair or put it up. If I do use it on my hair when I'm wearing it down for awhile I will use the tiniest amount. Curlsmith is hands down one of my favorite brands thoug...
Curl Conditioning Oil-In-Cream
I use this mostly for updos and smoothing my hair but it works amazing, also a tub will last you so long.
Eco Style Olive Oil Gel - Shine & Tame Ends
I love this oil, my hair likes to soak it right up. If you are trying not to use sulfates don't use this but I clarify regularly enough I feel like my hair has just gotten even better using product with sulfates.
OGX Extra Strength Damage Remedy + Coconut Oil
I also love this oil for my hair. Sometimes I will use it to scrunch out the crunch but its also nice to smooth on between braiding my hair.

Deep Conditioners
My hair absolutely loves this mask, it leaves my hair so soft. I've used Briogeo forever and this mask is my favorite from them. I've tried them all.
Don't Despair, Repair!™ Deep Conditioning Mask
This is a really good drugstore options that leave my hair really soft.
3 Minute Miracle Moist Deep Conditioner w/ Avocado
I've used this mask for years and continue to re-purchase it. It smells so good and works even better.
Hydra Source Deep Conditioning Treatment Mask
If I had to choose one deep conditioner to use for the rest of eternity it would be this one. Not only does it leave my hair smelling so good it also makes it curl like crazy. If you pick one thing from my recommendations pick this one.
Deep Conditioners
I really enjoyed this mask, it is lighter than the double cream deep quencher so if your hair is sensitive to masks that are to heavy this may be a great one for you to consider.
Hydro Creme Soothing Mask
Shampoo and Conditioner
Had to finish up this list with my everyday shampoos and conditioners. I'm including both drugstore and non drugstore but your girl is a budget gal so even if I'm spending some money on a product trust me it is not going to be a lot. Quarter size of ...
I love this product, I use it when my scalp is extremely dirty. I can get about 4 day hair from this which is a lot for me.
Garnier Fructis Grow Strong Shampoo 33.8oz
Pair this with the shampoo. These also make your hair smell soooo good.
Garnier Fructis Grow Strong Conditioner 33.8oz
My curls love this and the conditioner, I really love the shampoo because it not only cleans but does not strip my hair. It also bubbles if you like that.
Don't Despair, Repair!™ Super Moisture Shampoo
Pair this with the shampoo, super hydrating and my hair loves sit.
Don't Despair, Repair! Super Moisture Conditioner
If your hair gets weighed down heavily this is a lighter weight product. Also it smells heavenly.
Multi-Tasking Conditioner
I've used the shampoo and conditioner from this brand for a long time and love them. These are a great drugstore option.
