Looking for Curly Hair Products in India? Check Out This Epic List

Hey, you! Struggling to find curly hair products in India that won’t make your naturally dry hair more frizzy and tangled?

In this blog post, I have included products for all textures and for all budgets, starting from pocket-friendly to international brands that are more expensive.

If you’re a college/school and on a limited budget or just want to save – don’t worry. There are MANY affordable options linked in this post.

Or you can check out this post made specifically for beginners- Pocket-Friendly Curly Hair Products in India

Now, I always stress this – techniques matter more than products.

What techniques? Things like not combing wavy or curly hair daily and instead, you comb after applying conditioner and/or stylers. Realizing conditioning products are more important when it comes to taming frizz than shampoos or serums in necessary.

Most of these products listed below are CG Friendly, that is, free from Sulphates & Silicones. Broadly, sulphates are ingredients that mimic detergents and while they deep clean really well, they can over do it, leaving our naturally dry texture even more dry.

Silicones are wonderful ingredients that smoothen the hair strands and reduce frizz, can however build up on your hair over time and need a sulphate shampoo to wash out. They can also weigh down some loose waves and curls.

So if you avoid one ingredient, you need to avoid the other. That is the basis of the popular movement Curly Girl Method.

Now, I have personally found using CG Friendly products most of the time reduce the dryness after shampooing and keep my curls defined without them feeling weighed down.

Does that mean products with sulphates and silicones are bad? No!

For eg, if you find such products suit you, continue using them with the techniques I’ve mentioned in my posts and Youtube videos.

For eg, I used sulphate and silicone based products in college because that’s all what I could afford. It worked out fine for me then- not as amazing as I get the results now, but that is my personal experience.

Many curly people across the world use Non CG Friendly products and are happy with the results.

Now as well, since I have chronic dandruff, I regularly use a medicated anti-dandruff shampoo in rotation with a CG Friendly Shampoo (without sulphates) because I find using sulphate shampoos each wash leaves my hair feeling very stripped and hay like.

Recently trying conditioner and creams with silicones haven’t worked out so well for me, so I generally avoid them.

That doesn’t mean, and I stress, is the only way to take care of wavy or curly hair. I urge you to experiment and see what works best for you.

You can also always pick out CG Friendly products at the beginning to start with a simple system of taking care of your hair and then reintroduce Non-CG Friendly products once you’ve got the techniques down!

The key is to experiment and find out what works best for you!

How to Choose Products

DO NOT get overwhelmed and confused with what products to buy when you’re not clear about the routine.

1. Start with buying a Clarifying shampoo (With Sulphates) and a CG Friendly Shampoo (Without sulphates, for regular use) if you want to try a CG Friendly Routine.
2. Otherwise, pick any shampoo your hair and scalp likes and that does not leave your hair very dry.
3. Next, get a moisturizing conditioner – CG Friendly if you’re avoiding silicones, any moisturising conditioner with good slip with silicones if you are planning to use sulphates regularly.
4. Next, to reduce frizz and make your results last longer, get a gel.
5. If after using the products a few washes, and using the right techniques, you find you still have frizzy hair, then add a leave-in conditioner or a curl cream to your routine which will add moisture to your hair.

If you have done Keratin treatment, smoothening, cysteine, or straightening, please note that techniques and products won’t give you great results since your hair is chemically changed. Please read this post to learn what to do next – How to Get Your Curls Back From Chemical Straightening

Also, products that suit me might not suit you. Everyone’s hair is different so remember to try, experiment, and find the ones that suit you the best. Build a routine slowly.

Lastly, the prices written against each product were updated in May, 2022 and can change over time.

A shampoo is not the most important hair product for wavy-curly hair- that’s the conditioner’s job. But a good shampoo won’t be as drying as others but will clean your scalp well.

Clarifying Shampoo

Clarifying shampoos have sulphates but no silicones – this helps you get rid of product build-up and completely cleanse your hair.

It is recommended you do one final wash with a clarifying shampoo before you switch to shampoo without sulphates. This is the first step of starting your CG Friendly Routine.

Then once a month or once in 2-3 weeks, clarify so that your hair remains shiny and absorbs products better. If you have wavy hair, clarify often!

CG-Friendly Shampoos for Wavy and Curly Hair

These shampoos don’t have harsh, drying sulphates and can be used regularly.

Instead, they have gentler cleansing ingredients.

Now, as the CGM movement has evolved with the world co-opting it, in a way, it gets difficult to agree on certain ingredients, whether they are considered harsh or not.

For eg, Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate and Sodium c14-16 Olefin Sulfonate are not sulphates and are considered by some as CGM Friendly, some not.

For the basis of this list, products with harsh sulphates are not included but they can have the above-mentioned ingredient or even gentler ingredients.

Again, don’t worry – these shampoos are gentler than most in the market.

Silicone Free Cowash For Wavy & Curly Hair in India

What is cowashing? Co-washing is short for “conditioner-only washing.” It basically cleanses your hair WITHOUT stripping your hair of its oils and leaves it softer and more moisturized than a normal shampoo. It’s made like a conditioner but has some gentle cleansing ingredients.

If you need to wash your hair daily or too frequently, co-washing is a great option. Lorraine Massey, who discovered CG Method recommends people to use only co-wash and conditioners, and no shampoos at all, even if it doesn’t have sulphates.

But I follow the modified CG Method because I strongly feel you need to cleanse your scalp well regularly for hygiene and hair growth.

Many girls use a conditioner as a co-wash by using their fingertips to scrub the scalp instead but I don’t recommend this.

A proper co-wash will have a cleansing ingredient or two to remove dirt even though they are very gentle.

Silicone Free Conditioners For Wavy & Curly Hair in India

The BEST thing you can do for your natural hair is to use a conditioner in your routine. Thick, creamy, moisturising conditioners will get soaked up by your dry hair and form a layer of protection from frizz.

Apply conditioner generously after sectioning your hair(make 2-3 sections). Then first with your fingers and then a wide-toothed comb, detangle from bottom going up gently. A very common beginner mistake is to use a small amount – you need LOTS, you need to get slightly scared at the quantity of conditioner you have in your palm!

You can watch just how much conditioner I need for my hair as well as how I apply it in this video.

Non-CG Friendly Conditioners for Curly Hair

But- many curly people across the world do just fine with such conditioners. If you don’t want to get into ingredients too much, pick one of these below – I will recommend you to clarify now and then to remove any possible buildup!

1. BBLUNT Curly Hair Moisturizing Conditioner (Rs. 240)
2. Kayos Avocado Conditioner for Dry Frizzy, Wavy & Curly Hair (Rs. 499)
3. OGX Nourishing + Coconut Milk Moisturizing Conditioner (Rs.799)

5. Moroccanoil Curl Enhancing Conditioner (Rs. 2160)
6. TIGI Bed Head Recovery Mositurizing Conditioner (Rs. 1050)

Silicone Free Deep Conditioners For Wavy & Curly Hair in India

Think of deep conditioners as very powerful conditioners.

Deep conditioners also penetrate the hair strand deeper than a normal conditioner.

Also, you can use a deep conditioner in place of your conditioner if your hair is very dry and coarse. What I mean is, that conditioner and deep conditioner can be interchanged in a routine if you want.

Deep conditioning is recommended once a week if you are suffering from dryness and frizz & to keep curls healthy and defined.

I think this is absolutely ESSENTIAL to our type of hair. You can read my guide on Deep Conditioning Curly Hair – How, When, Why to learn how.

After you’re done washing your hair, how do you ensure your curls won’t frizz up too much in the next 2-3 days before you have to wash again?

By using a leave-in conditioner!

A leave-in conditioner is a moisturizing product designed to be left in your hair.

You can apply a leave-in conditioner and other styling products for curly hair in SO MANY ways! Read this post to find one that will suit YOU: The Ultimate Guide to Styling Wavy & Curly Hair

Silicone Free Leave-in Conditioner Spray For Thin, Wavy & Loose Curly Hair

If you have looser curls, wavy hair, or fine hair, using thick, creamy products can make your hair feel weighed down. Instead, use a lighter product like sprays & mists that help to detangle and reduce frizz without making them limp.

Silicone Free Curl Cream & Butters For Wavy & Curly Hair

Curl creams are much thicker and richer than leave-in-conditioners.

Since most of them have ingredients like butters and oils, they can be too heavy for light waves and loose curls.

Remember to experiment with quantity with this- some wavy hair gives great results with a small dollop of curl cream to smooth over on top of leave in conditioner, while some hair types (more curlier and coiler types) need a lot!

A leave-in conditioner is used for hydration and moisture but curl creams are used more for hold and definition! Often in this industry, leave in’s and curl creams are interchanged or mixed – i,e some do both the roles.

Oils For Wavy & Curly Hair in India

Are you even Indian if you don’t oil your hair? 😝

Curly hair THRIVES when you use oils properly.

By properly I mean, don’t Champi (drench hair in oil overnight) every time you wash your hair.

Instead do that only once a month and other days, be light-handed with the oil and concentrate on massaging your scalp with it, coating the length lightly and focusing more on the ends!

Otherwise, you’ll shampoo more vigorously to remove the oil thereby making hair dryer!

You can use essential oils too but remember to mix it with a carrier oil and test it on a small skin patch before you apply on your scalp.

1. Arata Advanced Curl Care Hair Oil  (Rs. 499)
2. NUNE- Conditioning and nourishing hair oil (Rs. 1049)
3. Tea Tree & Rosemary essential oil is great for dandruff prone scalp.
4. Coconut oil is the only oil that penetrates the hair the most. You can be sensitive to coconut however so remember to check that on your hair.
5. Jojoba Oil is the only oil that comes close to matching our body’s oil production. It is wonderful for hair.
6. Argan Oil is one of the lightest oils that is great in reducing frizz and protecting your hair from environmental damage.
7. Juicy Chemistry Chilli, Horsetail & Blackseed Hair Oil for Hair Growth & Hair Fall Control  (Rs.1050)
8. Juicy Chemistry Marula, Argan & Lavender Hair Oil for Damaged and Dry Hair (Rs. 800)

Serums for Wavy and Curly Hair

This is tricky to write and explain but because of marketing terminology, it can be difficult to figure out the difference between a serum and a mix of oils.

Often brands will call a mix of oils a serum-.

Most commonly, esp in the Indian market, serums are almost always with silicone.

They were considered the answer to frizzy, curly hair (Remember the Livon and Silk-n-Shine ads?) and inspired many curly girls to think it was the answer to all their problems and just like the ads, they too will have beautiful frizz free curls.

Hah! If you’ve gone through this, same pinch and commiserations, friend.

Anyway, back to the ones that are available in the market now. Some of them are a mix of light oils so they are easy to absorb. Some of them don’t have silicones. Some have extracts and glycerine added to them- differentiating them from other mix of oils.

Please understand that a serum DOES NOT provide hydration or moisture to your hair. You NEED a leave-in conditioner, a mousse, a cream – something creamy and hydrating to reduce the frizz.

A serum can be applied after that to tone down some baby hairs and give shine. If your hair is straight to very light waves, a serum might be enough for you.

But if you have hair that is curly or very wavy- don’t expect a serum to do what hydrating products can.

Using a serum to reduce all th frizz in naturally dry hair is a myth, perpetuated by unrealistic ads.

In case you have a doubt, go and see the recent ads of the market popular serums- esp by curly hair women. In the results, they all have fake curls created by curling irons.
