Whether you’re restarting a natural hair journey, or are just looking to finally stock up on the tools that’ll take your regimen to the next level, there are a seemingly endless number of tools that can be helpful for managing and styling textured natural hair. So many, in fact, that it can be overwhelming. Here, we lay out our expert-approved necessities to keep in your arsinal.
- Wide-tooth comb: This is an essential tool for detangling curly or kinky hair without causing breakage. Use it to gently comb through hair starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots.
- Denman brush: This is a popular styling tool for defining curls and coils. It has rows of nylon bristles that can help separate and clump hair, creating defined curls and reducing frizz.
- Satin or silk hair scarf or bonnet: These are great for protecting hair while sleeping or during the day. They help to prevent friction and breakage, and can also help retain moisture.
- Diffuser attachment for a hair dryer: This can be useful for drying curly hair without disrupting the natural curl pattern. A diffuser attachment spreads the air flow out over a larger area, reducing the intensity of the heat and minimizing frizz.
- Hair picks or combs with wide teeth: These can be helpful for adding volume and shape to textured hair, especially when using a styling product like a twist-out cream or gel. Use the pick or comb to gently lift and separate the curls at the roots.
Ultimately, the best tools for textured natural hair will always depend on your specific hair type and needs — which is where our assessment comes into play. Share your goals, styling inspiration, and more to receive guidance on the right tools for you.
