Best One & Done Curly Hair Products – Drugstore to High-End

Which curly hair products can define curls and tame frizz all by themselves? I share 8 one & done products in this video from drugstore to high end that will simplify your routine.

What do I look for in a one & done styler? For me, I like a gel or a mousse format, and something that provides moisture and definition, that way it replaces a cream and a gel. I am sharing a range of light to strong hold products, but my favorites are the strong hold options because they require less refreshing.

I will list them in order of lightest to strongest hold (in my experience).

  • Light hold in my experience because it frizzes after scrunching out the strong cast & by the end of the day
  • I use it more in the winter
  • Lots of film-forming humectants
  • Good for dry climates or low porosity
  • Glycerin-free
  • Small proteins
  • Easy to refresh
  • Comes in fragrance free
