5 Products That Will Change the Way You’ve Been Curling Your Hair

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter.

You might be a pro when it comes to curling your hair, or maybe you only do it for special occasions. Either way, these are 5 products that can be completely unexpected game-changers when it comes to achieving your best curls, especially if your hair doesn’t hold them easily. Combining these products together, or just adding in one that sounds helpful for your type of hair might be just what you need to take your curls to the next level.

Not Your Mother’s Whip It Up Styling Mousse – $5.99

One thing you shouldn’t overlook is adding product to your hair while it is still damp. Especially if your hair frizzes easily, this product will tame your hair and help it to cooperate. Your hair will be more likely to hold the curls and keep a nice, smooth texture throughout the styling process. The fact that this particular mousse smells just like vanilla frosting really doesn’t hurt either.

Kenra Thermal Styling Spray – $16

Protecting your hair from heat is something you should never forget to do, and this product is an amazing choice for many reasons. First, it protects your hair from heat up to 428° Fahrenheit. Unlike most heat protectants, however, this product acts like a hair spray that is activated by the heat. When you spray it into your hair before curling, it immediately adds grip and helps hold a curl in a way that your hair is unable to do on its own. You may find that you don’t even need to finish with another hair spray after using this product!

Batiste Dry Shampoo (Blush) – $8

Dry shampoo is typically only thought of when it comes to freshening up your hair when you haven’t had time to wash it. What you might not realize is that adding it to your roots when stying can give you amazing volume! In addition to feeling clean and having that extra volume, you can find a fragrance you like as well. This particular blush scented dry shampoo will leave your hair smelling like a bouquet of roses!

Not Your Mother’s Double Take Dry Finish Texture Spray – $6.99

Something that is not as commonly thought of is texture finish spray such as this one. If you feel like your curls feel a little flat, or maybe they all form into one big curl, this product could be for you. When you spray this product towards the middle and ends of your hair, it adds that separation and, of course, texture! It is also true that it is a dry finish, and your hair won’t be left feeling sticky or wet.

Kenra Shine Spray – $9.99

This product is something that isn’t necessary for your curls, but it add that extra touch you might be looking for. Hair that has a dull appearance isn’t so fun, so this shine spray does it’s job to give your hair a more glossy, silky finish. Your hair will keep a light, weightless feel, but with a very finished look. 

Good hair days are the best days, and with the help from these products you might just find that your curls are the best they’ve ever been!
