10 Must-Have Product Staples For Curly Girls

People forgot to mention how daunting it can be to sift through all the products marketed to naturalistas. Luckily for you, I've compiled a list of staples that take the guesswork out of caring for natural hair.

This product bible is perfect for women at any stage of their natural hair journey. Check out the deets below.

Denman Styling Brush

Denman Brush


Say hello to shorter styling time with the Denman. This brush is great for separating and defining wet curls. Use it to take your wash n go to new heights.

Continuous Water Mister Spray Bottle

Amazon


Our curly girl prayers were answered with this special bottle. It sprays just the right amount of mist to refresh curls. You'll love that the bottle produces a continuous stream with one squeeze. It covers large areas of hair while also getting rid of dreaded hand fatigue.

Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Curl Refreshing Spray

Mielle Organics


Turns out that regular use of water to refresh curls can actually dry out natural hair. Mielle's Pomegranate & Honey Curl Refreshing Spray is the perfect alternative. Although water-based, its blend of essential oils hydrates curls, eliminates frizz, and creates a nice sheen. Pour it into your Continuous Water Mister Spray Bottle and you're good to go!

Microfiber Hair Towel

Amazon


Cotton towels are tough on curly hair. They get rid of more moisture than necessary, often leaving hair a frizzy mess. On top of that, traditional towels also contribute to breakage and split ends. The solution? A great microfiber towel. It'll provide a smoother surface for your hair and prevent all the aforementioned negatives.

Mielle Honey & Ginger Edge Control

Mielle Organics


I recently fell in love with the flexible hold of this edge gel. Smooth a small amount of this product on and you'll have a soft hold that won't flake or get extra greasy as the day goes by. More importantly, Mielle uses organic ingredients that promote healthy hair growth.

DevaCurl B’Leave-In Miracle Curl Pumper

Amazon


Dreaded first day hair is a thing of the past with this product. It adds volume to curls, making them plump and juicy from day one. Use it to style your hair on washday. You'll especially be a fan of the soft hold that makes curls bouncy instead of stiff.

Slip Silk Pillowcase

Amazon


Save your hair styles and your edges with this pillow case. It reduces the usual hair damage caused from traditional bedding options and is known to maintain a blowout beyond its usual time. On top of that, dermatologists and plastic surgeons swear by its anti-aging effects.

Maui Moisture Heal & Hydrate + Shea Butter Line

Maui Moisture


You might as well invest in the entire Maui Moisture Heal & Hydrate + Shea Butter Line. This set quenches curls and softens strands like nobody's business. It's all natural and inexpensive. Get the shampoo, conditioner, Hair Mask, Leave-in, and raw oil because it is all worth it.

Hair Steamer

Amazon


Maximize your deep conditioning treatments by investing in a hair steamer. It improves conditioner absorption while also preventing breakage and split ends. Give yourself a salon treatment without the reoccurring salon price.

DevaCurl Buildup Buster Micellar Water Cleansing Serum

Amazon


Solve all of your product buildup issues with DevaCurl Buildup Buster. It's made up of micellar water, which removes the gunk in your hair without stripping it of what it needs. You'll like that it leaves hair shiny, bouncy, and refreshed.
