Naturalistas know: No matter your hair texture or curl type, all curly hair can benefit from moisturizing natural hair products to keep hair healthy and manageable. Luckily, there is no shortage of stellar hair care on the market that leaves curly hair frizz-free, makes damaged hair strong, and hydrates dry hair. But how do you know which products really work? According to celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson, there are a handful of product ingredients to know if you have natural hair. “Some ingredients you should look out for textured hair are shea butter, coconut oil, jojoba oil, and avocado oil,” he says. “These ingredients help to lock in moisture and promote shine.”

The skin on your scalp is just as important as your face and this cooling conditioner will help you treat it right. It’s from BRIOGEO HAIR CARE’s Scalp Revival collection, which promises to provide a 366% increase in hydration that lasts 4X longer than your regular formulas. Pretty major. If you deal with dry hair and an itchy scalp, this conditioner is a dream. It contains coconut oil to condition, as well as peppermint, spearmint, and tea tree oils to reduce itchiness and irritation. One Ipster said it left her “hair feeling revived,” while another said it soothed her scalp after she wore her hair up for a few days in a row. Many love the “tingly sensation to your scalp” and the refreshing peppermint scent.

2. BRIOGEO HAIR CARE Don’t Despair, Repair!™ Strength + Moisture Leave-In Mask

Hair masks are especially important on the list. Many hair types and textures can use the same mask, but you’ll want to pay attention to how often you use it. Gibson recommends starting with once a week. “If your hair feels drier than usual, you can use a mask twice a week until [hair is] repaired,” he says. But he warns, you don’t want to over-use a hair mask because it could weigh your hair down, especially if you’re more on the oily side.

This moisturizing leave-in deep conditioner is sort of like a hair mask you don’t wash out. It’s that hydrating. With B-vitamins, rosehip and argan oils, algae, and biotin, it replenishes damaged hair and leaves strands silky soft. It’s effective on all hair types but those with color-treated, keratin-treated, chemically-treated, and relaxed hair will especially love it. Ipsters gave this leave-in 4.5 stars saying that it makes hair “not greasy or heavy but incredibly conditioning.” One even said this is the only thing that “saved” her hair. Whoa.

3. BRIOGEO HAIR CARE Farewell Frizz™ Rosarco Milk Leave-In Conditioner

If your strands are prone to getting knotty, this detangler leave-in conditioner is for you. It contains argan oil, coconut oil, and rosehip oils to reduce frizz and leave hair much more manageable. The clean, vegan, and cruelty-free formula is made without parabens, phthalates, or silicones. Ipsters say this hair care is “lightweight, effective, and smells amazing!” Others say it made their “hair smooth and shiny” and their “usual struggle with flyways is gone.”

This coconut oil hair mask actually starts out solid. After you put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, it melts into a hydrating liquid. Coat your hair from root to tip for silky strands that smell like a summer vacation. The formula is cruelty-free, vegan, natural, and only made with sustainably sourced ingredients so you can feel good about your choice. Ipsters love the way it made their hair feel. One with “severely damaged hair from bleach” called this hair oil treatment a “total lifesaver.” Another said it made her hair “very moist and soft and easy to detangle.”

5. NATURELAB. TOKYO Perfect Smooth Hair Oil

One Ipster said it worked to “restore [her] cotton candy overly bleached hair.” Another said it’s the “best hair mask” for curly hair she’s ever used and she even saw “a difference in split ends after first use.”

9. OUAI Leave-In Conditioner

Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin’s leave-in conditioner is a favorite for the way it leaves hair shiny and super-manageable even if you use hot tools every day. The hair mist is easy to use to condition all over, detangle strands, and reduces frizz and flyaways. Ipsters say it “makes [their] hair really soft without making fine hair flat or greasy” and they love the floral scent. “It smells fantastic and I use this exclusively instead of conditioner now. I have big, coarse hair and this keeps it from feeling like a haystack!” said another big fan of this product.
