My Current Hair Care -- 3A-3B Curls
14
items The routine that SAVED my curls after straightening for 4 years every day + dying and bleaching multiple times. Some of these products I don't believe are the best for long term usage, but I found them extremely beneficial in my hair healing journey.

Clarifying Shampoo
Use once a week. If you have dyed hair, use once a month to prevent fading!
So good!!! Fellow curly haired girls know just how much product buildup we can get, but this shampoo gets it all out. Use it once a week (once a month for dyed hair) and you will FEEL a difference. Super satisfying texture too, feels like exfoliating...
Scalp Revival™ Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo
Shampoo & Conditioner
ALWAYS double shampoo 😉
I highly reccomend this for anyone who has had a lot of chemical or heat damage. Also if you deal with breakage. This truly helped bring my curls back to life after I used to straighten my hair for 4 years every day. Now, even when wet, my hair curls...
Acidic Bonding Curls - Shampoing réparateur pour cheveux bouclés ...
Hair Mask
Use once a week!!!
Since this was reccomend by people with straight hair, I was worried, but it actually makes my hair so insanely soft every time. Even after a long pool day with my hair as dry as possible, this mask just softens everything. Very good for low porosity...
TSUBAKI Premium Hair Mask 180g
Hair Brushes
Detangler + Styling
LIFE SAVER!!!! I use it after applying conditioner or a mask and I swear it's never been easier to brush off tangles!! It used to take me hours to get rid of knots, but this brush is perfect. MAKE SURE you get the right one for your hair type! Mine i...
The Ultimate Detangler | Tangle Teezer
Another ESSENTIALL!!! If there's a part of my routine that really makes sure my hair gets the volume it needs, it's this brush. I use the defining one since when I bought it, I didn't realize there was a volume one. But I have a trick: more volume --> work in smaller sections. less volume but more defined clumps --> bigger sections, go big! It's up to taste!!
Define EdgeLift Brush - Bounce Curl
Leave In
Very lightweight so it won't weigh your curls. Same reccomendation as the shampoo and conditioner of this line, saved my hair after 4 years of straightening every day. So helpful for anyone who struggles with breakage or damage from heat/chemical use...
Acidic Bonding Curls Leave-In Treatment for Damaged Curls | Redken
My favorite leave in so far!! Super lightweight and leaves your hair so soft! And the scent? Wowww! So worth the hype!!
PATTERN Beauty Leave-In Conditioner 9.8 fl oz
Curl Cream
Be mindful when applying, a small amount goes a long way. Can feel thick if you apply too much, but it's not heavy on the hair. Very helpful in strengthening your curls.
Feather-Light Protein Cream - Light Curl Cream for Fine Hair
Very good budget option!!! Not too heavy on the curls!
Curl Talk Defining Cream | Frizz Control For Curly Hair
So worth the purchase! It is ACTUALLY lightweight and helps keep those curls fresh!
Advanced Climate Control® Featherlight Styling Cream - Ouidad
Foam
Extremely light and soft and guarantees a day of volume! Can feel a bit watery and the foam dies a bit fast, but still a helpful product! Though this line of hair products can be a bit pricey, I say it is worth the spend if you are really looking to ...
Bouncy Strength Volume Foam - Curlsmith
Defining Gel
Again, a pricier product, so opt for the small version, it lasts very long! Not the biggest fan of this gel, it felt like it was not capable of holding my hair for long. A lot of times, it didnt even form a gel cast. However, I may just not have appl...
Curl Gels | Curl Defining Gels for Curly, Wavy & Natural Hair
This gel can hold your hair pretty well, but I really really disliked the feeling after scrunching the cast out. I used it till it's end, and it helped reach my goals visually, but I would not buy again due to the texture and feel it has afterwards.
Curl Talk Sculpting Gel Flexible Hold $10.99 - Not Your Mother's
Hair Oil
I swear I heard every one and their mother talk about this oil. "How good can it be?" I thought... PERFECTIONNN. My hair is so soft just from a few drops of this oil. I've tried so many oils before, but this one is special!!! It is hyped for a reason...
