Defining Curl Creams
This defining cream and gel have been my go-to for a quick 2-step wash day. Smells amazing and doesn’t leave my curly hair weighed down. The rice curl complex makes it super nourishing. Highly recommend grabbing the combo gel and cream.
Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Frizz Control Gel & Cream
I use this as a leave-in when styling my curls. Emulsifies really well with the Curlsmith In-Shower Fixer Gel (listed as well)
Hold Me Softly Style Balm
When I want a more light-weight moisturizing leave-in, this is the product I use. If I want hold, I pair it with the Curlsmith Hydro Style Flexi-Jelly.
Curlsmith Weightless Air Dry Cream
Products for Hold (gels/mousse/hairsprays)
This is my go-to gel for when I want my hair to last.
Curlsmith In-Shower Style Fixer Gel
Gives me a more light weight cast for styling my curls
Curlsmith Hydro Style Flexi-Jelly
This is my go-to for an all-in-one styler. I love that it has protein in it. Also provides great slip for brush styling or finger curling.
The Doux MOUSSE DEF Texture Foam® 7 oz
This hairspray helps me define my curls without weighing them down. A life-saver on refresh days when I don't have time to diffuse.
Curlsmith Flawless Finish Hairspray Strong Hold
Best curly hair gel you can get at the drugstore! Pairs with the NYM curl defining cream.
Not Your Mother's Curl Talk Frizz Control Gel
Tools for Styling/Refreshing
The BEST Dyson dupe. Attachments magnetize to the blow dryer too.
Tymo Hair Dryer
Believe it or not I use this facial steamer to refresh my curls. Steam mist is super fine and not harsh.
Vanity Planet Facial Steamers
The only brush that helps me easily brush through my curly hair.
Tangle Teezer Ultimate Detangler Brush Lavender
The MUST-HAVE tool for brush styling curly hair. This brush has been a game changer for styling my curls. Cuts down on time and creates just the right size curl clumps for my fine, curly hair.
Bounce Curl Volume EdgeLift Brush 5-in-1 Blue
Oils/Serums to Scrunch Out the Crunch
Holy grail product for crunching out the crunch after styling my curls. Or after blowdrying my hair straight.
Moroccanoil
Deep Conditioning Masks to Repair
Keeps my hair super nourished and shiny
Eva NYC Hair Mask & Treatment
Hands down the best hair repair for my curly hair. Creates slip for detangling.
Curlsmith Bond Curl Rehab Salve
Co-Wash
I use this in between wash days. Cleanses well without my hair being stripped of its natural nutrients.
Curlsmith Curl Quenching Conditioning Wash
Claw Clips & Scrunchies
Super cute claw clips for curly hair updos. Beautifully made.
GQLV 4PCS Large Flower Hair Claw Clips
My go-to flower claw clips when creating cute curly hair styles.
Flower Claw Clip 7 PCS Non Slip Hair Clips
The hair tie every curly girl needs. Intertwines with your curls instead of squishing them. Invisibobbles are a staple for me. Other brands have dupes that have extra plastic/rubber that snags on the hair. Not this one as it’s the original.
invisibobble Original Spiral Hair Ties - 8 Pack
Heat Protection for Diffusing Curls
This is my go-to for protecting my curls when diffusing. I find that I have less damage and split ends. I spray it on after styling, but before diffusing.
