Curly Hair Conditioners & Hair Masks
Curly hair is naturally more prone to dryness due to its structure, which is why conditioning is essential. Our conditioners and hair masks are formulated to replenish hydration, smooth the hair cuticle, and support curl definition without silicones that cause buildup or weigh curls down.
All formulas are curl-friendly, silicone-free, and designed to work with your natural texture, leaving curls soft, defined, and visibly frizz-reduced.
Why Conditioning Matters for Curly Hair
Conditioning is where curls get their strength, softness, and shine. After cleansing, conditioners and masks help restore moisture, smooth the cuticle, and improve elasticity - all of which are essential for healthy-looking curls.
Well-conditioned curls are easier to detangle, less prone to breakage, and better at holding definition. Conditioning also plays a key role in frizz control, helping curls stay smooth and manageable in humidity, dry weather, and between wash days.
Conditioner or Hair Mask: What’s the Difference?
Curly hair benefits from different levels of conditioning depending on how it feels.
Rinse-out conditioners provide regular hydration, softness, and slip after cleansing. They help detangle curls and prepare hair for styling without heaviness.
Hair masks deliver deeper nourishment and moisture. They’re ideal when curls feel dry, brittle, or stressed, helping restore softness, elasticity, and overall curl health.
Many curlies use conditioners on every wash day and reach for a mask weekly or whenever curls need extra care.
How Often Should You Condition Curly Hair?
Most curls benefit from conditioning every time they’re cleansed. Rinse-out conditioners can be used regularly, while hair masks are typically used weekly or as needed.
If curls feel dry, tangled, or harder to define, adding more conditioning - or swapping in a mask - can help restore balance. Listening to your curls rather than following a rigid schedule is key.
