1. TRESemmé Curl Definition Mousse
Best curl-defining product for men
If you’ve got curls that lack definition, you can easily bring bounce to them with the help of the TRESemmé Curl Definition Mousse. This conditioning mousse will bring the best out of your curl pattern and not leave your strands feeling sticky or stiff, thanks to its natural hold.
2. SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yoghurt Hydrate & Repair Shampoo
Best for men with extremely dry, brittle curly hair prone to breaking, snapping or splitting
Your shampoo and conditioner should leave your hair feeling moisturised and strong, like SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yoghurt Hydrate & Repair Shampoo. It’s enriched with Manuka Honey, yoghurt, shea butter and natural oils to nourish as you wash.
Editor’s tip: Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair as the natural oils created by your scalp (that moisturise the hair) find it easier to travel down straight hair strands than curly one. This is why you should always opt for moisturising hair products when you can.
3. SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yoghurt Hydrate & Repair Conditioner
Best for men with extremely dry, brittle curly hair prone to breaking, snapping or splitting.
Once you’ve shampooed your hair, follow up with the SheaMoisture Manuka Honey & Yoghurt Hydrate & Repair Conditioner. This super-hydrating conditioner restores vitality to lackluster, dull curls, leaving them easier to manage and looking their best.
4. TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse
Best for men with thin curls
If your curls fall on the finer side, you can easily add some volume and texture to them with the TRESemmé Volume and Lift Mousse. This lightweight mousse works best when applied to towel-dried hair, but if you really want to enhance your curls, diffuse them after applying this foam.
Editor’s tip: One of the best ways to enhance your natural curls is to use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer (those round, plastic attachments that you can slide onto the nozzle of your hairdryer). They work by spreading the hot air in a more controlled way over a wider area, which is better for curly hair.
5. TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Spray
Best for men with frizzy curls who use heat styling
We’re sure you’ve got the memo already, but using heat styling tools on unprotected hair is a big no-no, especially for already-delicate curls. If you’re blow-drying your hair with a diffuser or using other heat products, then you need to make sure you’re using protection like TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Heat Protect Spray. This spray not only defends your curls from heat but also provides 72 hours of frizz control thanks to nourishing keratin and marula oil.
Editor’s tip: For best results, apply heat protection after shampoo, conditioner and any leave-in treatments but before mousse and similar styling products. It is also usually advised that you apply heat protectants around 5 minutes before you use heat to give it time to do its thing.
6. SheaMoisture Miracle Hair Styler Leave-In Treatment
Best for men with curly hair prone to tangles
Another way you can give your curls some TLC is by using a leave-in treatment after shampooing and conditioning like SheaMoisture Miracle Hair Styler Leave-In Treatment. In a few spritzes, it helps to smooth out frizz and detangle any knots before you style your curls.
Editor’s tip: To brush or not to brush? It may be time to put down the brush and pick up a wide-toothed comb. Using a brush on curly hair can pull on the hair and cause breakage, not to mention mess with the texture. A wide-toothed comb on the other hand pulls less and helps to keep curls looking and feeling good.
For best results, comb your hair when it’s wet, using a de-tangling treatment product like the one above.
7. TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray
Best for men who want their curls to look good all day
The best way to keep your freshly styled curls looking good all day long is to give them a spritz of hairspray like TRESemmé Freeze Hold Hairspray. This formula works particularly well with curly hair because it is strong yet lightweight so it won’t weigh hair down, and it helps to tame frizz for up to 24-hours.
8. SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Hair Treatment Masque
Best for moisturising naturally curly black men’s hair.
Natural curls, without a little help, can often appear dry, dull and brittle. This is why the SheaMoisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Hair Treatment Masque is the perfect extra step for men dealing with dryness and for black curly hair.
The product is infused with nourishing ingredients like shea butter and castor oil, which will help make your hair feel softer and healthier-looking.
So, which of these hair products for men with curly hair will you choose?
