The 2 Things Your Curls Actually Need for Definition & Shine

If you're after defined, shiny curls, it really comes down to two essentials: plenty of water, and a good detangling brush.

Everything else - products, techniques, routines - depends on your hair and your personal preferences. But the foundation stays the same: your hair needs to be properly wet and thoroughly detangled before you can smooth it into individual curl clumps, from root to tip.

Products play a supporting role rather than doing the heavy lifting. They help lock in moisture and hydration, and help the style hold once it's set - but they can't replace water and detangling.

For reference, here's what I personally use and love from Innersense Organic Beauty: Pure Harmony Hairbath, Hydrating Cream Hairbath, Hydrating Hair Mask, Quiet Calm Curl Control, Inner Peace Whipped Creme Texturiser, I Create Curl Memory, and I Create Shine.
