If you’re a curly girl who really struggles to keep your frizz under control, then you might want to take a careful look at the products you’re using. As the warmer weather approaches, you might notice your curls tend to frizz up or fluff up more, and this could be due to glycerin in your products. Glycerin is a humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the air. Therefore, here are some great glycerin free curly girl products to give a try this spring and summer.
Conditioner
Jessicurl Too Shea! Moisturizing Conditioner
Jessicurl is a fan favorite with curly girls, and this conditioner makes a great transition conditioner. Its lightweight and hydrating, and doesn’t have glycerin. This means it won’t pull moisture from the air around you.
Leave-In Conditioner
Giovanni Direct Leave-In
Every curly girl needs a leave-in conditioner to keep their curls behaving and hydrated. Apply this after your shower to make sure your curls are frizz free, shiny, and well hydrated during the hottest days of the year.
Curls Blueberry Bliss Leave-in Conditioner
Not only does this product have an absolutely amazing blueberry scent, it delivers on its promises. It creates great slip for styling while keeping your curls hydrated, and helping them keep their natural shape. It’s loaded with organic ingredients to help your curls look their very best without any extras your curls don’t need.
Curl Defining
Not Your Mother’s Curl Talk Cream
For those unruly curls, a curl defining cream can help bring those rogue strands back in line. Great when applied to damp curls as a compliment to leave-in conditioner, this curl defining cream will give you springy, easy to style curls that don’t have any frizz.
Kinky Curly Curling Custard
This is another cult favorite in the curl care community. It works best on those with thicker, heavier curls, as those with wavy curls might find it too heavy for their more delicate strands. Apply a small amount throughout your strands to give your curls body, and hold.
Mousse
Aussie Headstrong Volume Mousse
This product boasts 24 hour hold and lift, making it a great choice for any volume-challenged curly girl. We think it’s going to be a great choice for those with finer strands to help provide some much needed body throughout your curls without creating frizz.
Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Curl Sculpting Mousse
Like the Aussie, this is a very cost-effective mousse and designed specifically to help bring curls back to life. It also has a great fruity scent that many curly girls love.
