Both cleanser and conditioner help to detangle, add shine and reduce frizz.
Hydrating Curl Cream: smooths curls and minimises frizz. Ingredients include Shea Butter, Marula Oil and Aloe, which help restore curls back to their natural curl pattern. Apply on soaking wet hair, comb through with your hands and scrunch upwards towards your scalp squeezing out excess water and scrunching your curls into shape. For more definition finger coil your curl clumps.

Enhancing Curl Gel: oil infused gel that holds curls in shape while adding shine and moisture. Avocado Oil, Kukui Oil and Aloe. Apply using hands on towel-dried hair and scrunch to encourage bounce.
Price: £16 from onlycurls.com
Microfibre Hair Towel: Ditch the coarser cotton towel for the smoother microfibre. The uneven surface of cotton towels draws moisture out of hair too quickly and can damage the hair cuticles whilst the smoother yarns of the microfibre towel leave them intact.

Curly hair is fragile and colour treated curly hair even more so. Give that extra loving care with ColorWow Dream Coat for Curly Hair. Specifically formulated for enhancing naturally curly hair whether air-dried or blow-dried with a diffuser. Use on wet hair.
This may be all you need as its tri-polymer complex ‘Elasta-flex’ moisturises, conditions, defrizzes, restores bounce and gives a high gloss shine. However for thicker, tighter curls and coils it can be used as a primer to hydrate curls and give a glossy texture before using more viscous products to shape curls.

Air-drying is probably the best way to dry those curls, but if that takes way too long then give yourself a big helping hand to speed up the drying process with DevaCurl DevaFuser.
Unlike the conventional shaped diffusers, DevaFuser has 360-degree airflow to surround the curls and get to the roots where it takes longest to dry. A ceramic inner core helps preserve moisture to reduce frizz and enhance shine. The hand shape enables you to scrunch your curls without using your hands. Place curls in the DevaFuser, push towards the scalp and hold to enhance definition. Designed to fit most hairdryers.

When sleeping, keep those curls frizz free with Morning Glamour satin pillowcases. Smooth satin will not aggravate the curls like the coarser cotton pillowcases, therefore reducing hair damage, breakage and of course morning frizz.
The only wildness you want on your hair as you sleep is their leopard print, or go cute with their curly girlie pink. Also available are classic ivory, glamorous gold, sleek silver, bold black and feminine floral.
Price: £12.99 single and £24.99 for a set of two from makeupboxldn.com
