For me, leave-in conditioner is always an essential base to lock in moisture, and gel always comes last to lock in hold. Now, before I dive into my favorite frizz-fighting styling products, let’s discuss the order to apply them, especially if you’re layering. My favorites are Curl Junkie Curl Rehab or Jessicurl Deep Treatment, they set me straight every time! I use a sulfate-heavy shampoo like Suave Daily Clarifying monthly to remove buildup, and then follow up with a good, long deep condition.
