Being curly has advantages. You can hop out of the shower, throw in a great styling product and a hair tie, and be on your way. Bonus: No heat styling or texturizing products required ... ever! The trendy effortless-but-chic look was pretty much made for you. True fact: about 40 percent of women wish they had the curls, waves and texture you've got.

On the downside, curls do require some serious maintenance. Styling creams, serums and gels are a curly-haired girls best friend, and can mean the difference between a great hair day and an OMG-don't-leave-the-house hair day.

Today, we're giving Curly Hair Day the proper recognition it deserves by highlighting the best products for curly hair -- the best de-frizzers, un-tanglers, hydrating conditioners and other products geared for spiral styles and wavy looks. These are the staples you need in your hair product arsenal for creating, maintaining and taming any curly style.
