A lifetime spent with curly hair has taught me a few things. Mostly, that I'm too lazy to do much with my hair after a shower. But I've also learned that a little effort and the right products make me 10 times happier with my style.
In my opinion, getting a good haircut is the single most important thing you can do. I go to Devachan in New York City's SoHo neighborhood, but there are many curl specialists located throughout the United States. Once you have your ideal cut, you can focus on using the right styling products and treatments to enhance your curls.
I never use heat on my hair, so I'm always looking for gels, creams, and serums that will cut down on frizz and add definition to my curls on their own. But there are countless leave-in treatments for curly hair that will help you get your desired effect, whether you air dry or not. I've researched the most beloved curly hair products on the market for this list of favorites you're guaranteed to love.
Here are the best leave-in treatments for curly hair in 2019:
- Best leave-in treatment for curly hair overall: Miss Jessie's Pillow Soft Curls
- Best gel for curly hair: DevaCurl Light Defining Gel
- Best drugstore leave-in treatment for curly hair: Kristin Ess Air Dry Creme
