If you are struggling with dry or frizzy curls and coils, it might be time to work a curl cream into your hair care routine. Products for curls should leave your hair feeling hydrated and your curl pattern defined. For luscious coils that spring and bounce, a moisturizing curl cream is basically essential. It can be overwhelming to hunt down the perfect product or know what ingredients to look for so I spoke with expert colorist and curly hair specialist Quia Querisma to give you the rundown on the best curls creams out there.
Querisma describes curl creams as "a styling product that has a medium hold and humectant qualities that help minimize frizz,” and explains that frizz is caused by several factors, including product buildup, using the wrong shampoos, and not using water-soluble styling products. It may seem like you and your hair against the world, but Querisma offered some tips on getting defined, full-bodied curls.
She recommends looking for products that include shea butter, almond oil, and coconut oil. If you notice you are having a great deal of breakage, she suggests visiting a stylist to trim off split ends. Lastly, she advises considering your hair type before choosing a wash-and-go curl cream. If you have a finer texture, it's best to opt for a lighter-weight formula such as a gel. If your hair is thick, you’ll want a thicker curl cream like a pudding. Ahead are ten curl creams that are sure to have your wash and go's, twist-outs, and fro-refreshes looking absolutely gorgeous.
