Each year the NaturallyCurly Editors gather to test, review and debate on the best curly, coily and wavy hair products on the market in order to take out the guesswork for you. We’ve tried over 200 products. Our drawers can barely close, our cabinets are overflowing, but our scalps are refreshed and curls are poppin. Find out who our favorite curly and coily hair products were for this years Editors Choice Awards.

For the NaturallyCurly Editor’s Choice Awards selection process, we considered the following criteria when making our selections:

Product efficacy: Does the product work for my hair type?

Miracle claims: Does the product packaging deliver false hope or stay true to its claims?

Added bonus: Does the product exceed my hair goal expectations by providing unlisted benefits?

Innovation: Does the product contain ingredients that I have not used before? Is the product new to the curly community?

Industry expertise: Are ingredients suggested for use by hair care experts?
