If you’ve got curly hair, you know that finding the right product to manage your mane can mean the difference between perfectly sculpted ringlets and an all-out frizz-fest. And while we’re sure you already have a trusted arsenal of products for your ‘do, we thought we’d ask top hairstylists on what they use to get their clients’ curly hair red-carpet worthy. Here are their favorite picks to get you coiffed in no time.
Ouidad VitaCurl Define & Shine Styling Gel-Cream
“I love the Vitalcurl Gel Cream by Ouidad. I put this in when hair is wet, comb through, and let it air dry. If your waves are limp and lazy, this gives them more structure, shine and a lot more oomph—it can take hair from loose waves to actual curls. If you diffuse it, the curls will have more hold and tons of volume.” —Nikki Providence, a Los Angeles-based stylist who has worked with Tori Kelly and Jenny Slate

Gliss Hair Repair Oil Nutritive Shampoo
“I recommend Schwarzkopf Gliss Hair Repair Nutritive Shampoo + Conditioner. Curly hair tends to be a bit dry and needs moisture. I love using Gliss Oil Nutritive on curly hair to revive moisture and shine. I like to leave the conditioner on while in a steam shower. The steam and heat helps to penetrate the follicles. I follow up with a cool rinse to seal the cuticle, enhance the curl, and renew the shine.” —Larry Sims, a Los Angeles based stylist who has worked with Kerry Washington, Tracee Ellis Ross, Lupita Nyong’o and Gabrielle Union.

Alterna’s Bamboo Line Kendi Oil
“With curly hair, it’s life-changing when you find an easy routine for the girl on the go. A leave-in conditioner paired with a dry-oil spray is a great combination. I’m a big fan of Honest Beauty’s Beyond Hydrated Moisture Milk and Alterna’s Bamboo Line Kendi Oil. Spray both products evenly through wet hair and then air dry or use a diffuser. I love the new Dyson hair dryer with the diffuser attachment. A spritz of flexible hairspray and you’re done.” —Davy Newkirk, a Los Angeles stylist who has worked with Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian, Jessica Alba, and Reese Witherspoon

Kerastase Discipline Cleansing Conditioner Curl Ideal
“My favorite curly hair products are the whole Kerastase Curl Ideál Discipline line.The shampoo is not really a shampoo in the popular sense. It’s called a cleansing conditioner because it cleanses and conditions in one step. It’s sulfate and silicone free, which most curly hair girls know to look for. It gives the curl elasticity and smooths the hair fiber. For fine hair the cleansing conditioner is enough, however if your hair is coarse and voluminous there’s a nourishing masque that reduces volume, frizz control and adds a supple finish to the hair.” —Brian Zinno, Senior Education Director, Antonio Prieto Salon
