Curly and coily hair is often drier and more prone to tangling, so leave-in conditioners, creams and gels are used to add moisture, reduce frizz and hold the pattern. Layer them on wet hair and experiment with amounts.
What to look for
- Weight — lighter gels and mousses for waves; richer creams and butters for tighter curls and coils.
- Hold — gels and custards for definition; creams for softness.
- Build-up — heavier products may need a clarifying wash now and then.
