I’m not going to go into too much detail because I’ve already explained the differences between a curl activator and curl cream in this post. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS. This prior approval to prescribe grants the doctor the Authority to prescribe the desired medicine and have it funded under the PBS. I don’t prefer working with uber-wet hair that’s soaking wet, because the cream doesn’t get absorbed properly. Fun fact: According to Forbes, Maui Mosture founder Todd Christopher went from dropping out of high school to becoming a billionaire, after selling his portfolio of brands. Cantu’s new-ish TXTR line is almost entirely CG approved and has two options: Treat and Sleek. The Treat products are all about moisturizing your hair and scalp, which is great if you and your curls are dealing with harsh winter weather. Sleek products provide definition and hydration. TXTR by Cantu Apple Cider Vinegar and Tea Tree Soothing Shampoo for curlies dealing with hard water or a dry and itchy scalp.

Up until last year (!!) I spent my entire life ignoring the whole upside-down styling advice I saw on every tutorial and curl blog, because I genuinely thought it wouldn’t make a difference. Hey, I tilt my head side to side when applying curl products; isn’t that good enough? No. Omg, NO. I was so freakin’ wrong. This styling tip has been the biggest game-changer of my life’s curl journey—more than any product or haircut—and I legit urge you to try it. Curl mousses contain polymers that help provide hold and definition to curls. Some of them also contain vitamins, minerals, and plant extracts to nourish hair. Please note that they can be used together and can also be used individually – the decision is yours to make based on the type of curls you are looking for. Best known for: Affordable, curl-centric haircare with natural ingredients found on tropical islands.

Maui Moisture is obviously a haircare company, but overall wellness has always been at its core. “We formulate our products with wellness in mind, knowing the consumer cares just as much what she puts on her body as what she puts in,” explains Nadia Vasen, Maui Moisture’s Senior Marketing Director. “Not only are our products vegan, but our first ingredient is 100 percent aloe vera infused with pure coconut water, meaning the base of our formulations is more hydrating and nourishing than others on the market.” This, she explains is compared to other brands, which often feature water as the primary ingredient, “meaning all the ingredients you see touted on the front of bottles are being watered down,” she adds. “With 100 percent aloe as our base, we’re offering curls hydration-first formulations.” Have you ever heard of an Ouidad Cut? Ouidad call themselves “The Curl Experts” and their special technique for cutting curly hair has helped put Ouidad on the map in the Curly Girl community. Try Ouidad VitalCurl+ Define & Shine Styling Gel-Cream for those who can’t decide if they want a cream or a gel for styling their hair. It causes buildup: Both hair creams and hair mousses can cause product buildup. It will leave a residue on your hair. I usually wash my hair the very next day if I have used a hair mousse. Sleeping on my thin curls usually means waking up with flat, stretched-out waves and frizz, especially if I sleep with my hair in a ponytail, topknot, or bun. So to preserve my curly hair while I sleep—and keep the volume— I swear by Medusa clipping, which works especially well on short hair. It’s essentially just strategically clipping up sections of your hair with small clips (I use Goody’s Mini Hair Clips or Scunci’s Mini Jaw Clips) to keep curls intact overnight. The Not Your Mother’s Naturals line is one of the most popular collections of products in the curly hair community. They offer shampoos, conditioners, and styling products with a variety of ingredients and product weights so you can choose which one is best for your hair type. Not Your Mother’s Naturals Tahitian Gardenia Flower & Mango Butter Curl Defining Conditioner for curls that can handle or require heavier moisture.

With so many hair products out there, it can be difficult to figure out not only what’s best for your hair, but also which products are CG approved if you’re following the Curly Girl Method. I just work with damp hair by using a curly hair spray bottle and then misting my hair throughout the process.

A curl mousse has to be applied to damp hair before styling. You can use blowdry or air-dry later but please use a hair protectant spray before blowdrying! You don’t want to damage your hair.Shea Moisture Curl Mousse for Frizz Control: This mousse doesn’t leave a crunchy cast and actually makes your hair soft and bouncy – such an underrated product. Just don’t use way too much because it can cause some white residue. It doesn’t cause a very firm hold – it’s more of a gentle hold. This is best for limp hair or oily hair that really needs extra volume and texture. It really lifts the roosts – so you don’t end up with flat hair near the top – this is a really good pro! All of their masks, the Curl smoothie and Curl milk have Microcrystalline wax. Wax is technically not CG because it is not water soluble, I would avoid these products if you're cowash only. If you use a low poo or sulfate free cleanser you might be able to use these and avoid buildup but YMMV. Divide it into sections and detangle your hair gently with your fingers. Step 2: Create an emulsion with the curl cream and water (optional) So, now that we understand the main purpose of a curl cream is to provide moisture, why do we need a mousse?
