Hairspray
I love the smell of this hairspray and that it’s non aerosol!
Aussie Sprunch Non-Aerosol Hairspray
If you have looser curl pattern or naturally shiny, hydrated hair, I definitely would try out a sea salt spray to see how it works for you. Personally, it’s not an everyday product for me, but I really like the effect it has on my texture

Kitsch Mini Claw Clip
I’ve learned that letting my hair air-dry weighs down my curls, stretching them out, and is actually harmful to my hair because of how long it takes to dry, so I always diffuse now. If you already have a hairdryer, just by a diffuser like this one th...

This brush is great for separating and detangling curls!
