THE BEST CURLY HAIR PRODUCTS FAQS 

What products hold curls best? 

Texturising sprays are ideal when it comes to locking in your curls. Not only do they boost volume and neutralise your hair’s oil (to preserve your curls for longer), but they also hold your swishes in place without dragging them down.  

How do I bring out my curls? 

Bringing out your natural curls needn’t be difficult. All you need to do is spritz your strands with a water spray before reapplying your go-to leave-in conditioners, gels or serums. Or if you’re looking to tighten up your loose curls, opt for salts sprays instead.  

Is mousse or gel better for curly hair? 

While both mousses and gels work to enhance curls, picking which one is best suited for your tresses depends on your hair type. If you have finer lengths or looser curls, mousses will work better. However, if your locks are tighter and thicker we recommend selecting a gel.  

Now you have everything you need to know about the best curly hair products, all that’s left to do is to test and trial them to uncover your one-of-a-kind curly hair method.
