Haircare favorites for my curly hair daughter (by a mom with straight hair)
As a mom with mostly straight hair, I had no idea how to care for and style my daughters naturally ringlet curly hair. I tried so many products and these are some of my favorites to use on her type 3A hair.
Leave-in conditioners and spray bottles
Leave-in conditioners are essential to redefine and re-moisturize her curls daily.
Leave in conditioners are great for in between washes to help redefine and moisturize her curls.
Water spray bottles are essential for redefining her curls every morning.
This isn't a curly-hair specific product but it works very well on my daughter's curls. It's a light weight product that doesn't weigh down her curly hair.
My favorite every-day leave-in conditioner / detangler to use in my daughter's curly hair.
Shampoo and conditioner
Curls need extra hydration and these are the best shampoos and conditioners I have found that work best in my daughter's curly hair.
This conditioner is my absolute favorite to use on her hair. It smells so good and it is so moisturizing.
This shampoo is so moisturizing. It gets so bubbly and lathers so easily. We love it.
This is a set of both the shampoo and conditioner we love.
Definition and frizz control
Sometimes my daughter's curls need a little help staying defined and frizz-free. These are some of my favorite products that help with definition and frizz.
This is one of my favorite mousse products to use on my daughter's hair to help keep her curls defined and frizz-free
This is my favorite mousse to use in my daughter's hair to define her curls and smooth any frizz. It's a little pricy so I try to only use it on special occasions.
On occasion I'll put one pump of this oil in her hair to help keep it moisturized.
Other essentials
These are some of my other favorite items to use in my daughter's curly hair.
I always let my daughter's hair air dry and these micro-fiber towels help protect her hair while helping get some of that extra water out.
These wide tooth combs are perfect for brushing my daughter's curly hair right after washing it.
My favorite brush for daily detangling.
