15 Gifts Anyone With Naturally Curly Hair Will Love

Curly girls are product junkies by nature—trust me, I’m one of them! When we’re not whipping up a DIY avocado, coconut oil, and honey deep conditioning treatment we’re loading up on every new leave-in conditioner, curl cream, hair mask, and curl-defining gel in the market. The truth is, no matter how many products we might have or whether or not we’ve mastered our morning wash n’ go routine, chances are we’ll still appreciate any addition to our hair stash. That’s just the truth. With winter among us, achieving healthy, soft, frizz-free and perfectly defined bouncy curls could feel nearly impossible some days. But the right products can make #goodcurlyhairdays totally achievable. Not sure what to get your curly haired sister or BFF this Christmas? Add one of these curly goodies to your shopping cart and thank me later!

For the curly girl who washes her hair once a week — most of us!

This 3-piece bumble and bumble curly hair set feature their signature BB. Curl Pre-Style/Re-Style Primer that’s really the game changer in this kit but we’ll get to that in a second. The BB.

But back to the life-changing BB. Curl Pre-Style/Re-Style Primer. This thing helps detangle and define curls on day one. It re-shapes and re-styles hair on second, third, fourth, fifth, and even sixth-day hair—so your girl can walk around with popping curls for a whole week without having to worry about washing. Seriously, how dope is that?

For the curly girl who struggles with dry scalp during the winter

Your last few text exchanges have centered around her dry, itching, and irritating scalp. Instead of judging or rolling your eyes at her, why not just hook a girl up? The Cantu Root Rinse is practically a miracle worker. It’s made with real apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil, and shea butter that not only refreshes your scalp, soothes itchiness and irritation but it also leaves strands super conditioned.

Honestly, I can’t think of a better stocking stuffer. Could you?

For the curly girl in desperate need of a good shower cap

There are a lot of benefits that come with showering with a shower cap. They keep both curls and a sleek blowout (you know in case she occasionally straightens) completely intact. But not all shower caps are created equal though. They’re calling the SHHHOWERCAP  the “modern reinvention of the shower cap” and that’s because it keeps hair dry, maintains blowouts, reduces frizz and locks in moisture while still looking stylish AF. The chic turban silhouette design comes in a variety of colors and styles and is made of premium nanotech fabric because your girl and her curls deserve it. She’ll thank you for days for this one.

For the curly girl with a small-ass apartment

When you live in a small apartment every inch counts. She might love sitting under a hooded dryer with a hair deep conditioning treatment on but legit does not have space at her place for one. This microwavable deep conditioning heat cap is genius. All you have to do is apply the treatment to your hair, then put on a disposable shower cap—don’t worry you can get a 10-pack for real cheap—and then put on your hot head for 20-45 minutes for a salon-quality treatment at home.

For the curly girl who doesn’t believe in detangling with her fingers

Some experts swear that curly haired girls should ONLY detangle using their fingers but that’s not necessarily true. A good wide-tooth comb can get our knots and tangles out while preventing breakage and still preserving the shape of our curls. Get her a cute one like this Eternally In Amber Vintage Inspired Round Wide Tooth Comb. I once received one of these pretty combs as a gift and I’ve been treasuring it ever since.
