Summer Curly Hair Essentials with Kinky Curly
Looking for curl-care staples that actually deliver? Kinky-Curly’s cult-favorite formulas are available at Sally Beauty, making it easier than ever for shoppers to stock up on some of the most beloved products in the natural hair community. Founded more than 20 years ago by Shelley Davis, Kinky-Curly was created to fill a gap in the market for high-performing products designed specifically for natural kinky, curly, and wavy hair. Inspired by the plant-based ingredients and haircare traditions she grew up with in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Davis developed formulas free from alcohol, petroleum, and mineral oil that continue to earn loyal fans today. When it comes to keeping your hair hydrated throughout these hot summer months, Kinky-Curly has you covered, so let’s dive into our most loved products from the brand!
- Original Curling Custard ($22.99) – A cult-favorite and my holy grail curl-defining styler that helps enhance natural curl patterns while fighting frizz, adding shine, and providing flexible hold without crunch. What I love about this product is how lightweight the custard is while defining my curls like no other product on the market. I seriously run through a jar SO FAST!
- Knot Today Leave-In Conditioner ($16.99) – A creamy leave-in and detangler that smooths, softens, and improves manageability. It can be used as a traditional conditioner or leave-in treatment, making it a versatile staple for curly hair routines. When you’re constantly putting styling products in your hair it’s important to do a weekly deep condition after shampooing to bring hydrate back into your hair follicles.
- Come Clean Shampoo ($11.99) – A gentle clarifying shampoo that removes buildup without stripping essential moisture. Formulated with Mandarin Orange extract and Sea Kelp, this sulfate-free cleanser leaves curls refreshed, hydrated, and ready for styling. I love how a little goes a long way so I get my money’s worth while keeping my scalp clean before adding styling products!
