10 Products to Add to Your Curl Collection

More than 60 percent of the population has wavy, curly or coily hair, and the textured-hair market is one of the fastest growing categories in the beauty industry. That’s why it’s critical for salons to carry the most effective curl products. “There’s never a one-size-fits-all approach to curls and waves. Everyone has their own unique curl-DNA,” says LaDonna Dryer, Paul Mitchell national educator and business development coordinator. But, understanding that all curls are naturally “thirsty,” Dryer zeroed in on her top moisturizing ingredients. “Marula oil is full of antioxidants that tame and soften curls. Shea butter and coconut oil prevent moisture loss. Jojoba heals dry ends without a heavy texture. And, avocado oil is great for detangling.” Check out these hydrating shampoos, conditioners and styling products that’ll keep all your curly clients happy.
