To the college curly-haired girls who constantly complain about their frizzy curls and give up by tying it up. To the curly-haired girls who spend a tremendous amount of money to rack up hair products in their dormitory to fix every hair problem. Hair products should be the last thing I want to worry about as a naturally curly-haired girl. Sometimes when I know I will have a busy week ahead, I take the time to blow dry and use my flat iron instead of leaving my hair natural.
1. [LIVING PROOF NO FRIZZ NOURISHING STYLING CREAM
For you girls who splurge on your hair care, the Living Proof Nourishing Styling Cream brings luxury in your scalp. When I feel like leaving my hair au naturel because I have no time or feel that my curled locks match an outfit, I apply a coin–sized drop to my hair after washing and conditioning with a bun up-do. The tight and smooth curls appear after a long day when I take my bun apart. This product works on your hair regardless of the situation. Wet or dry.
2. IT’S A 10 MIRACLE LEAVE-IN PLUS KERATIN
To the curly-haired girls who damage their hair by using hot tools far too often and want to restore their curls, use the 10 Keratin Leave in Treatment. It helps hair by repairing hair proteins and reviving hydration with each usage. “Perfect for anti-breakage to let go of split ends. Use the proper brush or comb through” University of California Riverside junior Stefani Chavez said. This leave-in treatment, allows for you to apply it and walk out the door.
3. YES TO CARROTS NOURISHING SHAMPOO

On a tight budget and want a similar effect to keratin? TIGI’s Screw It Curly Hydrating Jelly Oil gives a nice shiny curl.

6. REDKEN’S CURVAEOUS HAIR TREATMENT LOTION
