Best Products for Curly Hair

Choose sulfate-free, moisturising shampoos (or co-washes), rich conditioners, and styling products like leave-in conditioners, curl creams and gels that define the curl pattern and fight frizz. Look for humectants and natural oils, and avoid drying sulfates and alcohols.

Keep curls hydrated: use a sulfate-free cleanser, deep-condition regularly, and apply a leave-in and curl cream or gel to damp hair. Scrunch with a microfibre towel or cotton t-shirt rather than rubbing, and avoid brushing curls when dry.

It's a routine that avoids sulfates, silicones and harsh drying, relying on gentle cleansing (or co-washing), rich conditioning and curl-defining leave-in products to enhance natural curls. Many curly-hair products are formulated to suit this approach.
