Sebastian Originals Potion 9

Sebastian Originals Potion 9

This mid-weight leave-in treatment smoothes flyaways after blowdrying, but it's more of a styling cream. Run a dime-size portion (more makes hair crunchy) through a wet mop to "define and detangle" curls. The slippery mix of silicones and moisturizing oils, including jojoba and olive oils, give hair luster and sil...More

Redken Elastic Works 09

Redken Elastic Works 09

Redken Elastic Works 09 gives wavy hair well-defined curls that manage to stay bouncy and soft, not crispy or crunchy. I applied it to damp hair and diffused while scrunching. Surprisingly, my waves came out as loose curls that were low on frizz, as opposed to kinky curls that were stiff or frizzy. Straight hair types can u...More

Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer

Aveda Be Curly Curl Enhancer

We curly people are special. We can't cope with humidity. We can't run into the 7-Eleven after a day at the beach and not scare the clerk. Help can be found in this mid-weight curl-defining lotion, which consolidates smaller curls into smoother, defined sections. As hair dries, a wheat protein/aloe mix contracts to hold cur...More

Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream with Pure Olive Oil

Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream with Pure Olive Oil

Instead of coating hair in a slick shine like the name suggests, a recommended pea-sized amount (I used two) of this olive oil-based leave-in conditioner softens, shines and moisturizes without weighing strands down. Missing from the petite tube are the smell and greasy finish associated with UVA/UVB sunscreen. The cream is...More

Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm

Alterna Hemp Straightening Balm

This light lotion is a safe option for O.D.-ers who just can't stop at a nickel-sized dollop of straightening cream (like me). Worked through wet curls before a blow-dry, it renders hair slippery and round-brushable without an oily silicone effect; my blow-out remained nicely un-wavy all day. As for claims its hemp seed oil...More

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Curvaceous Curls Styling Mousse

Alberto VO5 Extreme Style Curvaceous Curls Styling Mousse

This hefty can of styling mousse reads like a wakeup call to those addicted to their flat irons: "Stop fighting your curl!" Packed with polymers to increase shine and make hair lie flat, a little of this light foamy agent goes far to scrunch into hair without leaving hands sticky or curls crunchy. Although thick h...More

Victoria's Secret So Sexy Volumizing Mousse

Victoria's Secret So Sexy Volumizing Mousse

Hairstyling products may not be the first things that come to mind when you think of Victoria's Secret, but the So Sexy Volumizing Mousse deserves a second glance. It's easy to style with and gives flexible hold that lasts all day. Never sticky, it can be a little crunchy if you apply too much (a palm full is enough for sho...More

Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Curl Creme

Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Curl Creme

Bumble and bumble Curl Conscious Creme is excellent at coaxing curls out of slightly wavy hair while leaving strands soft, not crunchy. Apply a generous amount all over, then scrunch or use fingers to form whatever size curls you want. Ideally you should let strands air-dry, but if you're time crunched, use a diffuser to bl...More

Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme

Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme

"Universal"? Um, only if you live in a universe full of coarse-haired people. If you do, apply this thick cream to dry hair to infuse with moisture and shine via coconut, aloe and jojoba, plus a mega dose of that classic Aveda scent (people always comment -- it's <i>that</i> sniff-tastic). For those wi...More

Goldwell Profiler Mousse Wax

Goldwell Profiler Mousse Wax

Cotton candy meets bubble gum in the texture of this strong-hold bamboo protein foam that just may be the oddest product under your bathroom sink. Squirt out a ball of peach foam and rub between your palms; you'll see the thread-like fibers that deliver the structure, texture and height of extreme styles. Despite the label'...More
