Curly Hair Hacks: Products To Use

DevaCurl Dryer and DevaFuser ($180)

If you must blow-dry, do it with a diffuser! No need to dry out hair and cause tameless frizz. The DevaCurl DevaFuser takes on the shape of a hand to gently lift and dry curls. Be sure to finish with the cold-shot function to lock curls into place.

Madison Reed x AQUIS Quick Drying Towel ($20)

Strengthen your hair (and minimize frizz and breakage) thanks to this microfiber towel. It's important to never rub your hair when drying. Always squeeze curls gently to dry.

PATTERN by Tracee Ellis Ross Mini Wide Tooth Comb ($8)

Regular brushes can wreak havoc on curly hair, causing breakage and split ends. Opt for a wide-toothed comb that gently detangles from root to end. Hint: Comb hair while in the shower to minimize the frizz factor!

Aquasana Shower Water Filter ($75)

Fighting frizz is a constant battle. With this shower purification system, you stop frizz at its root! Stripping water of harsh chemicals, like chlorine, it leaves you with pure, filtered water that keeps hair follicles (and skin) healthy, glossy, and natural!

Natural Girl Wigs Toke - 4B/4C Afrocentric Hair ($75)

This most-reviewed wig uses soft Afro Fibre hair to mimic the texture of 4C curls. Not only do you get volume and a protective style all in one, but the wig is hand crocheted onto the cap *and* comes with extra combs to keep you feeling secure.

Surf Spray ($30)

You know the look –– effortless, sexy, windswept locks that say, "Yeah, I just walked out of the ocean." Not near the Atlantic or Pacific? Fake it with the original surf spray.

Moroccanoil Curl Enhancing Conditioner ($26)

DevaCurl No-Poo Cleanse ($32)

Meet the revolutionary way to cleanse curls –– a chemical and sulfite-free shampoo. No-Poo translates to no frizz or harsh buildup on your locks. Instead DevaCurl uses botanicals like grape-seed and peppermint oil to tame locks and nourish the scalp.
