What are the best products for curly hair? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

There are countless products designed specifically for curly hair, however some are more niche than others whilst others are must-haves for keeping your curls looking and feeling great particularly on a budget. As a curly hair specialist salon we stock a range of Only Curls and JOICO (the latter aren’t a specific curly hair product supplier though they do carry some). Here are some of the more essential products you can benefit from:

• Curly Hair Shampoos: Curly hair shampoos are specifically formulated for curly hair. They are much more moisturising and dense; if you try to work with curly hair shampoo it’s noticeably thicker. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you need ‘more’, it does take some patience for it to expand when in contact with wet hair.
• Curly Hair Conditioners: Similarly, curly hair conditioners are a great ‘must have’. Look for formulas that are rich in hydrating ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, and argan oil.
• Leave-In Masks: Masks can be hit and miss. The most effective spend will be in-salon; we offer a four step treatment which requires far less up-keep and highly effective and quick results.
• Curl Creams: If you are investing in one styling product, make sure it’s either a curl cream or a curl gel. Both serve their own purposes and in the case of curl creams these help enhance the shape of your curls while providing hydration and frizz control.
• Curl Gels: If you desire more of a ‘fixed’ look, gels provide hold and definition, keeping curls in place throughout the day, while mousses add volume and lightweight control
