Best Products for Curly Hair

Curly hair has a spiral or wave pattern that makes it naturally drier and more prone to frizz, because scalp oils travel down the strand less easily. The best products for curly hair are moisturising and sulfate-free — hydrating cleansers, rich conditioners, and curl creams or gels that define curls, lock in moisture and control frizz.

Curly Hair — FAQ

What products are best 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.

How do I stop curly hair frizzing?

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.

What is the curly girl method?

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.
