Wash Day Essentials for Curly Hair
I just started using this and I’m already really impressed. It leaves my hair feeling clean but still hydrated (which is hard to find with curly hair). My curls feel softer, less frizzy, and easier to style without needing a ton of extra products.
Moisturizing Curly Hair Shampoo + Conditioner Duo
After applying curl cream to soaking wet hair, this is the gel I use to help hold everything in place while it dries. I scrunch out extra water with a hair towel first, then use this for definition and frizz control. Once fully dry, I fluff out the c...
Love Ur Curls Strong Hold Gel, 8 fl oz
This is what I use when I don’t want to overthink styling. I just apply to damp hair and let it air dry—no complicated routine needed. It helps with frizz, keeps my curls soft, and gives just enough hold without feeling crunchy. Also smells really go...
JVN No Heat Air Dry Cream 5 Fl Oz
This is one of the pricier products in my routine, but honestly I always have my best curl days when I use it. I love that it combines a curl cream and gel in one step, so it simplifies my routine while still giving soft definition, hold, and frizz c...
Kerastase Curl Manifesto Gelee Curl Serum
This one is definitely more of a splurge, but I personally think good curly hair products that actually perform are worth it. I use this constantly on wash days for soft definition, hydration, and frizz control without making my curls crunchy or heav...
Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer Hair Cream
If you want something simpler and more budget-friendly, I really love this one. It hydrates, helps define curls, and cuts down on frizz without needing a bunch of separate products. I use this on both wash days and refresh days because it works well ...
Love Ur Curls All-in-One Styler 8.5oz
Curly Hair Refresh Routine
My simple curly hair refresh routine for second- or third-day curls. I mist my hair until damp using water mixed with a little curl cream (I spray until my hair makes that “squish” sound). If needed, I gently brush through wet sections to reshape cur...
Honestly one of the most important parts of any curly hair routine is water. This makes it so easy to evenly dampen my hair so products actually work the way they’re supposed to. The mist is super fine (not soaking or patchy), and it’s a must-have fo...
Kitsch Continuous Spray Bottle for Hair, 150ml
This is what I use on non-wash days when I want my hair to feel fresh again without doing a full reset. It smells really good (clean, slightly warm, not overpowering) and is perfect for a quick refresh after the gym or just day-to-day.
Kitsch Amber Shores Hair Perfume - TikTok Shop
I haven’t personally tried these new scents yet, but they look perfect for summer and I already love the Kitsch hair perfumes for refresh days. Hair perfume is such an easy way to make curls feel fresh again between washes without restarting your who...
Kitsch Coastal Cottage Hair Perfume Duo - Coastal Sorbet & Beachy Gelato - Vegan Cruelty-Free - Sun-Kissed Fragrance - Travel-Friendly Size - Patented Odor Elimination Technology - TikTok Shop
Curly Hair Styling Tools
My favorite curly hair styling tools for diffusing, detangling wet curls, reducing frizz, and refreshing curls. These are the tools that help make my curly hair routine faster, easier, and more low maintenance.
I only brush my curls when they’re wet—usually in the shower or right after adding product. Dry brushing just creates frizz and breaks up my curl pattern. This brush helps evenly distribute product, detangle gently, and keeps my curls looking defined...
Wet Brush for Curly Hair (Never Dry Brush Curls)
This is the dryer I use when I actually want my curls to turn out good without overthinking it. The diffuser is the main reason I got it—it’s big, gentle, and gives me definition without making my hair frizzy. It also dries way faster than my old one...
Shark Curly Hair Diffuser Dryer - Fast Low Frizz
One of the easiest swaps for healthier curls. I use this after applying curl cream to gently squish out excess water and help speed up drying without creating extra frizz. It’s also great for keeping wet hair off my shoulders while getting ready. Reg...
Kitsch Microfiber Hair Towel Wrap - Quick Dry
These are one of my favorite little tricks for getting more volume at the root without adding extra products. I clip them in while my hair dries (air dry or diffuse) to help lift curls at the crown so everything doesn’t dry flat. Simple, inexpensive,...
