The Best Curly Hair Routines by Curl Type
Curly Hair Routine for Curl Type 2
Curl Type 2: Wavy
• 2A: Soft waves
• 2B: Loose s-waves
• 2C: Defined s-waves
Styling goals: Definition and shape
The best curl routine for wavy hair types 2A, 2B, and 2C includes a leave-in conditioner to add moisture and shine. Our Curl Air-Dry Cream gives hair soft, bouncy definition and controls frizz for up to 48 hours.
Curl Shape Defining Spray Gel also helps define waves and can be used on both dry and damp hair, making it ideal for refreshing curls in the morning. If you'd like to add volume to your 2A curly hair routine, try our Curl Construct Creation Mousse.
Curly Hair Routine for Curl Type 3
Curl Type 3: Curly
• 3A: Loose spiral curls
• 3B: Defined spiral curls
• 3C: Corkscrew curls
Styling goals: Moisture and frizz control
Type 3 curly hair is more prone to frizz, so hydration is key. Create your own deep-conditioning mask by combining our Curl Nourish Conditioner with our Curl Multi-Use Oil, which helps add moisture and control frizz. This treatment is recommended once a week for a 3A/3B curly hair routine, and more often for type 3C.
Curly Hair Routine for Curl Type 4
Curl Type 4: Coily
• 4A: Defined, springy coils
• 4B: Zigzag, tightly coiled
• 4C: Tightly coiled with less definition
Styling goals: Deep, lightweight hydration
Coily Type 4 hair craves moisture and definition. If you're experiencing shrinkage in your 4A and 4B curly hair routines, try our Curl Stretch Pudding to elongate and moisturize curls and coils, or our Curl Sculpt Conditioning Cream Gel to add more definition. In addition to a curl cream, a great 4C curly hair routine includes a leave-in treatment like our Curl Multi-Use Oil, which provides up to 72% less breakage in just one use.

When it comes to drying, less is more! Whether your curls are long, shoulder-length, or short, air-dry whenever possible and maintain bounce with Curl Refresher Spray. Also, try curl-loving techniques like pineappling and plopping.
