The Curly Hair Essentials
Curly hair is, in general, drier compared to other hair types and needs hydrating formulas to minimise frizz. These products also need to be lightweight to avoid weighing your hair down and losing the curl. Fortunately, plenty of brands have put time and money into creating specific products for curly hair.
