Going through my old post and pins on Pinterest turns out one of my pins went viral. This post Top 8 Best Curl Defining Products was published in 2015 and now its blowing up everywhere. I think to myself should I let it get its shine or die out and remain in 2015 or should I update it with a 2019 version. I decided to give 2019 a run! This time I’m giving you 10 Natural hair stylers with a bonus one.
Story on my hair
Back in 2015 I made a decision to start my natural hair journey it was one of my greatest feeling ever to do the big chop and just be free of the relaxed ends. I learned so much from the Glam twinz from youtube on how to start my natural hair journey and which products would be best for my hair.
Being able to just appreciate my roots and understand my hair, in 2014 I had no idea what was curl patterns and how to see their full potential. This post is now reminding me of Nappily ever after (its a netflix movie) lol lets not get off track. So, my hair curl patterns weren’t showing its full form when I did the big chop. After a few months to years my hair as finally came into its own. My crown, my hair curl pattern is 4b-4c more so Kinky coily.
Turns out not every product that is recommended is for me but Hey can’t say no to trials and errors we all have to learn from somewhere. I started out with a mild investigation on deep conditoners and curl definers for my kinky hair. My older brother to the rescue was always the one that gets me what the glam twinz recommended. I loved those products I no longer use them because I got new favs!

What are CURL PATTERNS?
Every natural hair have curl patterns and dont get me wrong we are not turning this into a race thing but Curl patterns are mostly found in mixed and black race. Our natural roots tends to come out in “S” and “Z” form this shape or pattern of your curls is determined by the shape of your hair follicle. Curl pattern describe the shape of your hair that naturally grows in. Its hard to seperate your hair type from curl patterns because you can often get 3b hair type at the front of your head then get 4b at the back of your head.
Type of Curls
- 2A – 2C Wavy Hair
- Type 3A – 3C Curly Hair.
- Type 4A Curly Coily Hair.
- Type 4B Coily Hair.
- Type 4C Kinky Coily Hair
The Type 4 hair is known for being Thick and Course while the others are sightly thin and can comb through without a doubt of the comb or brush breaking. The Type 4 curls tend to be tighter and lets your hair grown upwards. The type 3s are more loose and they tend to grow downwards.
