If you’ve clicked on this article, you probably have a love-hate relationship with your curls. My curls are something I grew up hating when I was younger; I remember I would constantly straighten my hair, flattening my curls to a crisp. As I’ve gotten older, my love for my hair has grown, and now, I never want to step near a flat iron again.
Most curly-haired girls probably have a similar story to mine. Whether you’re recovering your hair from the evils of the flat iron or your curls are healthy and bouncy, these products will be a game changer for you.
