I really don't straighten my hair too much anymore. However, I will not let my hair touch a straightener/styling wand/whatever without this. It keeps my heart not damaged and not gross.
Thermal Protection
Wow. This is a newer pick for me, but I really love this conditioner. It's very lightweight and is easy to comb through. My hair has been looking a lot nicer.
Rosemary Mint Strengthening Conditioner
This is one of my newest tries, and I really like it so far. It adds volume but not frizz. My hair looks well-hydrated but not all oily or weighed down, either.
Rosemary Mint Strengthening Shampoo - Treat Dry And Brittle Hair ...
I have resisted actually curl cream throughout the years, but I am obsessed. My curls become actual ringlets! It's fabulous!
6.0 oz Curl Talk Defining & Frizz Taming Hair Cream - Not Your Mother's | Ulta Beauty
This has been a must-have in my collection for years at this point. My hair will dry out any time of year, and this provides the moisture my hair needs throughout the day/week.
Sea salt spray really works for me. It's one of the many reasons I love the beach, and I can use it at home! I know it has varying results for different curls, but it's a very very low risk investment. So try it out!

Satin Pillowcase in Terracotta
Microfiber over cotton. You really do not need to spend a fortune on these, either.
Supplements, supplements. I find that the best “supplement” for my hair is a standard Women's vitamin!
OLLY Women's Multivitamin Gummies - Berry
As my hair has gotten longer, I have relied more and more on hair ties that work well with my thick, curly hair.
scünci No Damage Super Comfy Hosiery Elastic Hair Tie Ponytailers - Black - Thick Hair - 10pcs
My mom got these for me last year and they are so cute. As someone who loves to wear their hair down, these are a great way to switch it up!
Zig Zag Headband 2pc- Black & Tort
Sometimes the best hair products are timeless. There are so many clips and bands and whatever that claim the “best hold” and “hold technology”(wtf is that?) when there is nothing on this earth that can actually hold my hair in place except for Goody ...
