Why this 3-step works in Dubai
Heat + AC can leave curls thirsty and frizzy. Keep it light and consistent: gentle cleanse → slip from a leave-in → set with gel. Your own guides also recommend leave-ins and weekly masking for UAE weather.
Step 1: Shampoo (gentle cleanse)
Pick one curl-friendly cleanser; use a clarifier only when needed.
Every wash (sulfate-free cleansers):
Every Strand Simply Curls Curl Enhancing Shampoo — sulfate-free, shea & coconut; cleanses while keeping moisture.
Cantu Avocado Sulfate-Free Shampoo — removes buildup without stripping; made for curly, coily, wavy hair.
KeraCare Curlessence Moisturizing Shampoo — JBCO + coconut; cleanses, boosts moisture, easier detangling.
As-needed clarify (not daily):
AS I AM Curl Clarity Shampoo — use as needed; follow with conditioner/leave-in; alternate with moisturizing cleansers.
Step 2: Leave-In (slip, moisture, frizz control)
Apply on damp hair for easy detangling and soft definition.
tgin Green Tea Super Moist Leave-In — lightweight moisture, helps manageability and frizz.
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Leave-In — made for coils; “goodbye frizz, hello shine.”
Mielle White Peony Leave-In — ultra-moisturizing yet lightweight; seals moisture and tames frizzies.
Camille Rose Rosemary Strengthening Leave-In — daily texture moisturizer with rosemary, biotin, shikakai, etc.
Step 3: Gel (set + definition without flakes)
Smooth through sections and define; air-dry or diffuse.
AS I AM Classic Curling Jelly (8oz/16oz) — curl boosters minimize frizz & shrinkage; long-lasting definition and stretch.
tgin Curl Bomb Moisturizing Styling Gel — soft, touchable hold; non-flaking; great for wash-n-go.
Camille Rose Curl Maker Defining Jelly — marshmallow root + agave; nourishes and defines curls.
Every Strand Curl Enhancing Gel — alcohol-free; defines without stiffness.
Eco Style Curl & Wave / Krystal Gel — firm hold, shine; lightweight, non-flaking.
KeraCare Gelessence Moisturizing Gel — enhances curl definition and coil firmness without sticky buildup.
Next-day (or mid-day) refresh
Keep a light refresher in your bag for Dubai humidity:
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Curl Refreshing Spray — quick definition, shine, light hold + anti-frizz.
Optional weekly boost (mask)
Add one weekly mask for extra slip and shine:
tgin Honey Miracle Hair Mask — raw honey + oils for shine and manageability.
tgin Rose Water Hydrating Hair Mask — hydrates, melts tangles, adds softness.
Skala Mais Cachos 1000g — multi-use; mask or leave-in; free from sulfates, parabens, silicones, petrolatum, mineral oil.
