We always want what we can’t have. If we have straight hair, we want it curly. If we have curly hair, we want it straight. What can I say? We’re not simple creatures! If you’re one of the gals that has been blessed with naturally curly hair, I promise you–you are admired by all of us who lack in the good-hair department, no matter how much you may fight to tame those babies every morning. When I see the sexy curls on Taylor Swift and AnnaLynne McCord, they make me want to cry! I am so jealous that it’s not even funny, but I know it takes some great products to fight the frizz. Here are five that I’ve rounded up that get good grades!
• UNITE Eurotherapy “Boing” Curling Cream* — All sizes of curls should be happy with this hydrating curl enhancing cream. Whether you’ve got loose beach waves or natural ringlets, I find this lacks the “crunch” that some mousses may give while offering a little bit more control.
• White Sands Curl Up In Silk Mousse* – If you can even make it past the fact that this mousse smells INCREDIBLE, you may find it versatile enough to give curly hair a frizz-free blow-out or scrunch it in and allow it to air dry for weightless manageability. Curl Up In Silk is available in Medium and Firm control options so you’re covered.
• Redken Fresh Curls Anti-Frizz Shiner — This is really cool stuff! The cream-to-serum blocks out humidity to give curls glossy frizz-protection. It’s also recommended for use on dry hair so you can have a second-day smoothing session if you want!
• Colure Curl Wave Styling Creme* — I found this botanically-based curl styling cream rich in therapeutic ingredients like chamomile, aloe, and lavender. Perfect for air-drying, Curl Wave helps provide definition and offers the UV protection that some styling products may lack for color-treated hair!
• Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse — This drugstore favorite gets rave reviews and feels pretty weightless on hair but leaves behind a fabulous fresh scent like most Dove products are known to do. I know several people who have said they will never again buy a pricey mousse after using Curl & Sculpt because it delivered the goods for lightweight control and curl definition!
These stars have killer curl-power:
