Every year, the holidays come at us fast. That said, for the last minute shoppers or those who opted out of Black Friday this year, don’t fret. There is still plenty of time to fill those stockings. If you have a curly girl in your life and are still trying to find a gift she’ll be sure to love and use, you can never go wrong with restocking her favorite, high quality products.
In addition to the coveted and novelty wish list items, there are a few products that will always be appreciated year round. Be them a product junky or minimalist, everyone has their go-to products or items they’ve been eyeing. Take it from a veteran curly-girl who has done her fair share of product testing trials and style attempts: this is what we want.
A re-up in needed styling tools such as flexi rods, detangling brushes, or satin anything are practical and thoughtful additions to top off your loved ones’ stockings, especially if they pertain to styles your curlfriend wears routinely. When it comes to products, a mix of their repeat stylers, conditioners, or occasional treatment items are definite safe options.
With that, below, you’re sure to find something for the beloved curly girls in your life this holiday season.
For the wash n go warriors
When it comes to a wash n go, a botanical gel is going to do it every time. Made of plant derived ingredients such as flaxseed, marshmallow root, or aloe vera, these gels are less harsh than their counterparts, support hydration, have incredible hold, and promote long term hair health over time.
For the twist-out girls
If your curly girl is more of a twist out or soft hold style wearer, a quality mousse is just what she needs. Mousse and foam stylers provide moderate curl definition, volume, and are cast free. They are my go-to product for perm rods, flexi rods, and any kind of big curl rollers. A mousse sets the hair for voluminous, soft, and defined curl styles.
For the style switchers
For the girls who like to switch their styles up and take curl TLC seriously, a restorative product may be the option of choice. These products are not designed for consistent use, but rather for maintenance or single-issue areas such as bond repairs and scalp scrubs. With that in mind, these treatment based products are ideal inclusions in your natural girl’s arsenal because she may not always consider them in her routine shopping. From refreshing scalp scrubs that target product build up and exfoliation to repair treatments for when you’ve heat styled one too many times, the below list offer a few options for nourishing treatments.
For the one who already has everything
Can’t decide which product to choose from or want to gift a brand they’ve been meaning to try? Mini sets, including anything from leave-ins to heat protectants and stylers, have you covered. Offering multiple products to choose from, these mini sets provide your loved one the opportunity to test out a new method or add everything they may need to a travel bag.
