Johnny’s Essential Tools for Curly & Coily Haircare

September 12, 2024 -

When it comes to caring for curly and natural hair, having the right tools can make all the difference. As Johnny Wright, OurX and Celebrity Stylist, shares in his book *Natural & Curly Hair for Dummies*, the tools you use are just as important as the products in your routine. If you’re looking to build a solid foundation for your hair care and styling collection, here is a basic list of Johnny’s must-have tools:

  1. Brushes :You need one to detangle and one to dry. Paddle brushes are an option, but they don’t always work well for all hair types and textures.
  1. Wide-Tooth Comb: Perfect for detangling and separating your hair without causing damage.
  1. Fine-Tooth Comb: Use this comb to create sleek hairstyles and remove scalp buildup on wash days.
  1. Rat Tail Comb: A versatile tool that helps you style like a pro, perfect for parting and sectioning your hair.
  1. Hair Pick: Essential for achieving big, voluminous styles like afros.
  1. Hair Ties: Opt for silicone or cloth-covered scrunchies to protect your hair when wearing it up.
  1. Satin or Silk Bonnets, Scarves, and Pillowcases:While you sleep, these materials reduce friction and help preserve your style longer, ensuring your curls stay smooth and intact.

Johnny emphasizes the importance of trying out different tools to see what works best for you. Not every tool will be a fit for your hair type or routine, so take your time experimenting to find your perfect match!
