Unsure of where to start? We've got your back. Continue reading to discover five must-have curl-styling products and what they do.

Curl-Enhancing Cream

Curl-enhancing cream is one of our favorite products to use on curly hair. As the name suggest, it's a whipped cream to define any curls that might look flat. Because its consistency isn't tacky or thick, it is super lightweight on your hair and will give some of the most natural-looking results. It's also great for a final pick-me-up to add hydration into your locks.

Mousse

If you have hair that is sensitive to many products, quickly getting oily or dragged down, we recommend adding a mousse. Mousse is the lightest product you can use. It has a high water content to add to your hair's fluffiness. It will do little to nothing to actually hydrate your hair, but it's a must-have for curly girls with fine texture.

Texturizing Spray

There are days when you don't feel like going through an entire wash day to get refreshed curls. During these moments, a texturizing spray will be your best friend. Inside the bottles, you'll often find a mixture of water and sea salt to help your hair transform back to its natural texture.

Curling Gel

Do you like a super defined curl? You'll get the sleekest ringlets from a curling gel. Its thick, clear texture acts as an emollient, almost like glue, to mold your hair into place. It's the perfect option when you need something heavier than your traditional cream.

 

Hair Oil/Serum

Perhaps, your curl care doesn't start with the items you include after you get past the shampoos and conditioners. These products might not be able to save hair with a good foundation. One reason your curls could look lifeless is because you need the hydration and restoration first from a hair oil or serum. From there, you'll be surprised by how much more alive your curls are after you add the gels, sprays or creams.
