What brush should I use on curly hair?

Traditional brushes can disrupt curl patterns and cause frizz, so it's important to use a brush specifically designed for curls. The Oz Essentials Curl Lovers Defining Brush is purpose-built for curly hair - it features side ridges that gently separate wet curls during styling and a pointed tail end for easy parting. It detangles without breakage, enhances your natural curl clumps, and is lightweight enough for everyday use whether you're new to curl care or a seasoned pro.

Is Clever Curl good for curly hair?

Clever Curl is one of Australia's most popular curl-specific brands, and for good reason. The range is designed exclusively for curly and wavy hair types, with products that are sulphate-free, silicone-free, and formulated to work with - not against - your natural texture. Their lineup covers every step of a curly hair routine, from the Clever Curl Cleanser and conditioners through to curl creams, gels for humid and dry weather, and treatments. It's a go-to brand for anyone following the Curly Girl Method or simply looking for reliable curl care.

What is the difference between curl cream and curl gel?

Curl cream and curl gel serve different purposes in a curly hair routine. A curl cream is a moisturising styler that hydrates, softens, and defines curls with a flexible, natural finish - ideal for looser curl patterns or anyone who prefers a softer hold. Curl gel provides a firmer hold that sets curls in place, reduces frizz, and creates longer-lasting definition - great for tighter curls or humid conditions. Many people with curly hair use both: cream first for moisture and definition, then gel on top to lock everything in.

How do I define my curls without heat?

You can achieve beautifully defined curls without any heat by following a simple wash-day routine. Apply a curl-enhancing cream or gel to soaking wet hair, then use a defining brush or your fingers to encourage curl clumps. From there, you can either air-dry or use a diffuser on a low-heat setting. Techniques like "scrunching," "praying hands," and "squish to condish" all help water and product distribute evenly through your curls for maximum definition with zero heat damage.

How often should I wash curly hair?

Most curl specialists recommend washing curly hair two to three times per week rather than daily, as over-washing can strip natural oils that curly hair needs to stay hydrated and defined. Between washes, you can refresh your curls with a light mist of water and a small amount of leave-in conditioner or curl-refreshing spray. If your scalp tends to get oily, a gentle sulphate-free cleanser will cleanse without drying out your lengths and ends.

Frequently asked questions(8)

How do I choose the right products for my curl type?

Choosing the right curly hair products starts with understanding your curl pattern. Loose waves (type 2) generally benefit from lightweight creams and mousses that add definition without weighing hair down. Medium curls (type 3) thrive with richer curl creams, leave-in conditioners, and medium-hold gels that lock in moisture and shape. Tight coils (type 4) typically need the most hydration - look for butters, oils, and heavy-duty curl creams to keep strands nourished and defined. No matter your curl type, pairing a sulphate-free shampoo with a hydrating conditioner is a great foundation, and you can use the filters on this page to shop by hair type, benefit, and key ingredients to find exactly what suits your curls.

What is the Curly Girl Method, and what products do I need for it?

The Curly Girl Method (CGM) is a hair care routine designed to enhance your natural curls by eliminating harsh ingredients and heat styling. The core principle is to stop using sulphates, silicones, and heat tools, allowing your curls to recover their natural shape and moisture over time. Here's how the process works: start by doing a final wash with a sulphate shampoo to remove any existing silicone buildup, then switch to a sulphate-free cleanser or co-wash for all future washes. After cleansing, apply a silicone-free conditioner and detangle gently with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while the conditioner is in. Rinse, then apply your styling products - typically a leave-in conditioner followed by a curl-defining gel or mousse - to soaking wet hair using techniques like "squish to condish" or "praying hands" to encourage curl clumps. Air-dry or use a diffuser on low heat, and avoid touching your hair while it dries to prevent frizz. Once fully dry, scrunch out any gel cast for soft, defined curls.

How do I reduce frizz in curly hair?

Frizz in curly hair is usually caused by dryness, humidity, or damage. To reduce it, start with a hydrating shampoo and conditioner, then apply a leave-in conditioner or curl cream to damp hair to lock in moisture. Avoid towel-drying with a regular towel - use a microfibre towel or cotton t-shirt instead. Anti-humidity gels and serums can also help seal the hair cuticle and keep frizz at bay throughout the day, even in more humid climates.
