5. Curl Cream

Well, this is a must-have product for curly hair owners. Surely curly hair owners often experience frizzy or unruly fluffy hair. Bad hair day is indeed a bad day, therefore we need curl cream in this world. By using curl cream, curly or wavy hair will be easier to manage, beautifully defined, and at the same time soften the hair. Curl cream products are still rarely sold in Indonesia, but you can search for them on e-commerce. Make sure the curl cream has ingredients that are suitable for the conditions and weather in your place of residence so that it is not sticky or uncomfortable.

6. Hair Clay

This hair product may look similar to pomade and gel at first glance. However, the difference is that the results of using hair clay are more matte and natural. If pomade or gel will produce a neat and sleek appearance, hair clay functions to give volume to the hair with more natural results. Hair clay has a rough texture and is easy to wash. The downside of hair clay is that it is more difficult to smooth with your hands. For those of you who like a natural look, hair clay can help style your hair.

Hair care with hair mask is probably the most favorite treatment during free time. Hair mask is a mandatory treatment for beautiful hair in the long term. Various uses of hair mask are to help your hair to be more moisturized, nourish hair to the roots, strengthen hair, encourage hair growth, and make hair look shiny. Use a hair mask according to the condition or needs of your hair. If your hair is fragile and breaks easily, don’t hesitate to start looking for a suitable hair mask.

8. Hair Oil

Hair oil is a must-have hair care product for curly hair. Although hair produces natural oils to moisturize, long-haired owners need hair oil to help reach the ends of their hair. The recommended hair oil is hair oil made from natural ingredients or natural oils such as olive oil or pure coconut oil to avoid harmful ingredients that will cause other hair problems. By using natural oil, you can also massage your scalp to improve blood flow. So, you can kill two or three islands with one paddle!

9. Hair Tonic

This hair product is very comfortable to use on the scalp. The content in hair tonic is useful for maintaining the strength of hair roots, overcoming hair loss, reducing dandruff, and keeping hair cells moist. However, if you want to use hair tonic regularly, you should pay attention to the content, yes. Because although it is generally safe to use, some people who are not compatible with the content in hair tonic can experience extreme side effects such as vomiting, diarrhea, poisoning, frequent urination, and even coma. The ethanol content usually found in hair tonic can cause reactions for people who are sensitive to this content. So, you are advised to be wiser by reading the product content.

10 Hair Serum

The benefits of hair serum and hair mask are actually almost the same. The difference is that hair serum offers hair care with more instant results compared to hair masks. The benefits of hair serum include nourishing dull and damaged hair, making hair look shiny, and protecting hair from UV rays, high temperatures, and pollution. There are two types of hair serum, namely those used after shampooing and those used before bed. The first type of hair serum is used when the hair is still half wet after shampooing, or before hair styling. While hair serum that focuses on nourishing the scalp and hair can be used just before bed.

11. Hair Gel

With more or less the same benefits as curl cream, hair gel is also useful for maintaining hair styles so that curly or frizzy hair is more defined for a more beautiful and long-lasting appearance. However, usually hair gel sold on the market contains alcohol which is actually not good for curly hair. If you are interested, you can make your own hair gel with easily available natural ingredients such as aloe vera and natural oils. Add essential oils to get the scent you like. Good luck!

12. Mousse

Unlike curl cream and gel, although they have almost the same benefits, mousse is in the form of foam. Using mousse will make hair voluminous with a more natural and lighter appearance. Using mousse also maintains the natural shape of the hair. If you use hairspray, mousse will strengthen the performance of the hairspray to last longer. Another advantage of mousse is that it can be used on all hair types. Even if your hair is straight and thin, you can use mousse for a thicker hair effect.

13. Hair Wax

Although wax and gel have similar benefits, you should know the difference. Hair wax has a denser texture and lasts longer, even for days if you haven’t washed it. The results of using wax will make your hair hard and stiff, suitable for those of you who have thick hair to make it easier to manage. The downside of hair wax is that it is difficult to clean because its texture is denser when compared to gel. If you have short curly hair and want to create a natural messy hair impression, you can try hair wax!

14. Hair Cream

If your hair is too frizzy, hair cream can help you! Using hair cream is useful for nourishing hair strands and making them more moist so they don’t look frizzy. If you often color your hair and as a result your hair becomes dry and frizzy, then using hair cream can also be considered. With regular use, your hair will be ‘repaired’ and become healthier and more beautiful. However, before choosing a hair cream, make sure the content is according to your hair needs to prevent damage or more severe hair problems.

15. Hair Vitamins

Having curly hair requires extra care. Hair vitamins are one of the products you need to have. Hair vitamins help nourish hair to be healthier. Before choosing vitamins, you need to know your hair needs first. It is highly recommended to choose products with natural ingredients.
