Products for Curly Hair

Filed under: Hair Care — ProductAddiction @ 2:20 pm

For those of us with curly hair or even wavy hair like me, attempting the super straight sleek styles is often an exercise in futility.  If you can get your hair straight and sleek with a flat iron and hair dryer, it will be back curling with the first hot humid day or light mist of rain.  Also, you’ll see lots of flyaways on the top of your head the moment you step into any sort of humid environment.
It’s often easier and can look more natural to work with what nature gave you if your hair just has a tendency to curl.  When going with the curly look, you want to avoid dryness or frizz in your hairstyle.  There are some hair styling product that work for frizzy and curly hair, but they work with it, not against, trying to straighten out locks that just naturally were not meant to be super straight, and this can often result in a fried, burnt out look.  See the hair product reviews for info on all kinds of good products for this. 

You can start with a good stylist to get a cut that works well with naturally curly hair.  When drying your hair, pat it with the towel but don’t rub as the friction will increase frizz.
Try out different products meant for curly hair to see which one adds the right amount of moisture for your hair.  Paul Mitchell has a foaming pomade that can add both moisture and volume to enhance curly hair.
If you opt to use a hair dryer, choose an ionic variety to decrease frizz.  For a conditioner, a product called Brilliance by Aveda is meant to be left in your hair and you don’t rinse it out.  Therefore, it retains much needed moisture for healthy looking curls without the frizz.
Many people with naturally curly hair do not use a brush or comb but just finger their hairstyle in. 
Another fine product for curl is Pureology Real Curl- Curl Define Creme.   This product cuts down on frizz and adds shine to your curls.  Other combinations of products for curly manes are Heaven in Hair for a conditioner coupled with Deva Curl Set It Free as a spray to add shine and definition to your curls.
If you go to www. bumbleandbumble.com, you can get Bumble and Bumble’s leave in conditioner together with their Curl Conscious Curl Cream to tame and enhance your curly hair.  As I’ve talked about before, I’m a huge fan of Aveda’s Be Curly also.  A curly hairstyle can define who you are and look stylish and healthy when dryness and frizz are kept in check.
