Most people with curly hair can’t go product free. Of course, you need to shampoo and condition, but there is also a need for styling products. The products that work for you might not work for the next person even if you both have curly hair because everyone’s curly hair is different.

Some people have large curls, others have tight spirals. Some people have dry hair, others have very dry hair. The best way to know which products will work for you is to experiment. If you try a product and your hair turns out bad, try something else.

First, you need a good shampoo. Shampoo can really add to the dryness of your hair, so you must make sure you get the right one. Also, because it can be so drying, you should really cut back on your shampoos. Don’t shampoo every time you wash. Shampoo every other time or once or twice a week. Get a shampoo designed for curly hair or a moisturizing shampoo.

Next, it is time for your daily conditioner. Don’t use the really cheap dollar conditioners because they are usually very thin and nowhere near moisturizing enough. Use a thick conditioner like dover or garneir fructis. You don’t need to buy an expensive conditioner, just not the cheapest. Leave it on for at least a minute.

Condition every time you wash your hair. This is important to keep your hair as moisturized as possible. Apply more conditioner on the ends and less on the scalp. The ends are older and usually drier which is why they need more moisture.

Don’t skip the conditioner! It is the most important step for curly hair. Even a daily conditioner still might not be enough. Use a deep conditioner once a week or once a month. A deep treatment will give you that extra moisture it needs when it it needs it.

Now you need to style your freshly cleaned hair. Styling products will get your curls where you want them to be. You can use any kind of products, but it is best to start with a leave-in conditioner. This will allow your hair to stay moisturized throughout the entire day and keep your curls looking beautiful.

Finally finish off your look with a good gel or mousse to keep your curls in place. Add in a serum to help control the frizz if you need it. These products will give you the frizz free curls that stay in place that you are looking for.
