The 5 Best Conditioners For Curly Hair
Published on March 10, 2020. Updated May 15, 2020Looking for a conditioner to add some hydration to your curls? Curly hair is prone to frizziness because when hair lacks moisture, it absorbs it from humidity in the air. Preserving your curls is a top priority for those who embrace their natural hair and finding the right combination of products – including conditioner – can be tricky. Doing your research, however, and learning what products work best with your hair type can do wonders for transforming the look and feel of your curly locks.

This conditioner is part of Aveda’s curl-focused line of products that are beloved by those with waves, curls, and coils alike! Key ingredients include wheat protein and an organic aloe blend that expands when hair is wet and retracts when dry to create definition and tame frizz. Plus, certified organic lemon, bergamot, and orange leave a refreshing, natural scent after conditioning.
Briogeo Curl Charisma Curl Defining Conditioner
This personal favorite hydrates curly hair, tames frizz and helps define individual waves or curls.
