If you are anything like me you’ve probably spent way too much money on curly hair products and endless time watching and reading about curly hair routines. But, hear me out, these 3 products are the ONLY products that I’ve had to purchase for styling my curly hair for the last 11 years!
You are going to learn about the ONLY 3 products that you need in your curly hair routine from this moment on.
After learning about these products, you will save a ton of money, and hopefully never have to read or watch a post about a curly hair routine again, haha!
This post is all about the ONLY 3 products that I swear by and have used for the last 11 years in my curly hair routine.
Stunning Curly Hair Routine
Post Shampoo and Conditioner, you’ll want to section wet, clean hair into four even sections.
The hair needs to be soaking wet, so, I recommend applying these products as soon as you get out of the shower.
As seen in the photos, I secured each section of my hair using Kit-sch alligator hair clips.
I did not think that something as simple as a clip could make styling my hair run SO smoothly, but there is something about these clips that do just that!
Product 1. Joico K-PAK.
The first product that I apply when styling my curls is the Joico K-pak Reconstructor. This product is the main source of applied essential ingredients such as amino acids, keratin, arginine and more.
It is not necessarily made as a leave-in, curly hair product. Nonetheless, I want to be 100% honest and transparent about the products that I use and have loved for all of this time.
The best part about this hair product is that it prevents hair strands from breakage, and strengthens the hair. Not only does it perform as promised when used as a styler for my curly hair, but it has worked time and time again for 11 years straight. It is reliable week in, and week out.
Product 2. Alaffia Pure Unrefined Shea Butter
The second curly hair styling product is Alaffia Pure Unrefined Shea Butter. Alaffia’s Shea butter seals in all of the moisture and goodness from the Joico K pak without being too heavy or greasy.
NOT ALL SHEA BUTTER PRODUCTS ARE MADE EQUALLY.
Alaffia has definitely nailed it when it comes to shea butter. I’ve tried various brands and this one works BEST for my curly hair.
Unlike other brands:
- It does not leave a greasy residue on your fingers or pillow case.
- The hair is not weighed down, in fact, it leaves the hair feeling light and bouncy.
- It is easy to rinse out of the hair on wash day.
Product 3. Quidad Heat and Humidity Gel
The last curly hair product that I’ve used consistently for the past 11 years is the Quidad Heat and Humidity gel.
This product works phenomenally in high humid climates like here in Florida and the Caribbean.
When I say that I hate crispy, noodle, textured curls I know that you know what I mean. Hence, I love this product for the opposite.
Even when I am heavy handed, this gel is perfection. I don’t know how Quidad achieved gel perfection, but, they truly have!!
Bonus Curly Hair Routine Tip | The Moisturizing Way to Stretch Curly Hair.
Step 1. Plat hair in 4 sections
- Before bed, Part the hair into 4 sections
- Braid/plat each section, BUT, only halfway as shown in the photo above
- Secure all of the plats with a silk/satin scrunchy or plastic clip.
Step 2. Remove Plats
- Gently undo plats.
- Use a dime sized amount of oil for each section (I use the Jamaican Coconunt Black Castor Oil because its great for hair growth and smells amazing!).
- Break gel cast by gently separating each section.
Step 3. Moisturize
- Place some Aloe Vera Juice (Inner Fillet) in a spray bottle.
- Spray all over hair until it feels mildly damp.
- Do some cleaning around the house or play with your babies for about 15-20 mins while hair dries.
Step 4. Fluff the Roots Using Detangling Brush
- Brush the roots using the detangling brush for more volume as needed
- Fluff to your desire
Step 5. Enjoy the Final Result
