If you asked me one of the most relaxing aspects of a wash day routine, it’s deep conditioning. There’s something so rewarding about sitting under a steamer or hot cap with a really thick and hydrating deep conditioner, knowing it’s giving your hair all the nutrients your hair needs. Deep conditioning is like taking your vitamins when it comes to hair care; some may view it as optional while others prefer to make it a regular part of their routine, like me. The hallmarks of a good deep conditioner are the formula, ingredients, and overall results for your hair. Bomb Ass Fro checks all the boxes with their Banana and Algae Deep Conditioner.
Why We Love It
The goal of using a deep conditioner is to help improve your hair texture. I personally have done a lot of color to my hair over the years, so while it’s not next-level damaged, it always needs moisture and hydration. I’m very picky with my deep conditioners because almost every major brand has one, but not all of them are good. Your deep conditioner shouldn’t be the consistency of a leave-in conditioner or styling cream, it should be thick and nutrient-dense to transform your curls, coils, and waves. Bomb Ass Fro achieves this through combining potassium-rich bananas with the moisturizing properties of algae. It’s got a neutral scent and leaves your hair hydrated, nourished, and glossy.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
One of the reasons it became my favorite deep conditioner in 2024 is because it’s helped reduce breakage and help with my hair growth. I need deep conditioners that are rich and penetrating without weighing my hair down after I wash them out. As I mentioned earlier, many curly girls have cut down on using a deep conditioner because a: It’s more time added to their wash day and b: It doesn’t provide any visible benefits to their hair. Deep conditioners on the market can smell really fragrant and leave your hair detangled, but that’s about it. Bomb Ass Fro is very easy to work through the curls and is creamy enough to coat your entire head without using half the jar.
How I Use It
I deep condition once a week as part of my wash day routine. I typically start with a great shampoo, and then I’ll layer in a deep conditioner, detangle my hair, and put a hot cap on or sit under the steamer. Now, I know deep conditioning takes time to penetrate the hair shaft, so this typically adds 20-30 minutes to my routine. However, the results are astounding when I wash it out of my hair and have soft, luscious, and visibly healthy hair. After deep conditioning then I’ll use the stylers to finish off my wash and go, and it’s time to start my week. Using a product that works for me makes the extra time worth it because I can see and feel the results that my hair needs while it’s still recovering.
How do you feel about deep conditioning? Will you be trying the Banana and Algae Deep Conditioner?

When you think of a setting foam, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s softness, versatility, or a functional product you can use for protective styles. As a 3B-3C curlie, I have always been wary of using any setting foams since they are typically heavier on my hair and aren’t always ideal for a wash and go. While I’m working on evolving my curly haircare routine, I haven’t upgraded to doing twists or braids by myself to get the full functionality of a setting foam. That was until I tried The DOUX’s CRAZYSEXYCURL Honey Setting Foam, which has been a welcome addition to my wash-and-go routine.
Let’s first talk about the difference between a foam and a mousse because they have different functions and benefits for textured hair. Foam can be used before and after a protective style in order to help with shine, decrease flyaways, and reduce frizz. Unlike mousse, foam has a different texture that is lighter, airier, and more fluid consistency. This is extremely important for achieving volume and flexibility when a mousse focuses on hold and definition.
Why We Love It
The DOUX is already known for creating stand-out products thanks to the genius of Maya Smith, but this CRAZYSEXYCURL Honey Setting Foam is in a league all on its own. The product smells absolutely amazing, and despite the honey formula, it isn’t overly sticky or sweet-scented. As an all-in-one styler, I have the versatility to use it with a wash-and-go or with a more ornate style like an updo or slicked-back bun. The cast that dries over my curls isn’t too heavy or dense, and there is absolutely no flaking. If I’m being really honest, I even enjoy using this over a traditional mousse because of how well it holds my curls throughout the week, and it doesn’t create any tangling or knots.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
There are definitely more mousses than foams on the market, but what makes The DOUX stand out is its multi-functionality. This hydrating all-in-1 styler conditions, detangles, defines, and sets wash & go’s…(*catches breath*), twist-outs, braids and TWA’s in one step! Fast-drying with flexible hold and no frizz or flaking, this product yields the craziest, sexiest, juiciest curls powered by the science of super-charged honey, aloe, bamboo, and silk amino acids. I have the versatility and the confidence to wear my hair as I’d like, whether down and curly or with a braid-out. I like that it doesn’t harden up enough that I can’t style my hair afterward. Setting foams can get a bad rap for thickening the hair and making it harder to stretch the curls for your desired look after the product is applied.
How I Use It
While this product is ideal for protective styles, rod sets, or braids, I often use it for a wash and go throughout the week. My usual routine starts with shampoo, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and gel, and then I place the CRAZYSEXYCURL Honey Setting Foam last. I use it last because it needs to dry before you get the full effect and thankfully, the drying process can consist of a diffuser, air dry, or hooded dryer. My curls love the touchable hold with moisture and shine that really helps them bounce and stay frizz-free throughout the week.

If there’s one part of my curly regimen that I can’t get enough of, it’s styling. Whether you have curls, coils, or waves, we all have our own special techniques for styling our hair. No two routines are the same, but there’s one thing they all have in common: they take time. Whether you like to rake and shake, finger coil, or root clip, we’re all looking to find the best way to combine technique with a product to create our favorite styles. What’s the best way to cut down on styling time while achieving flawless results? Cue, the viral Bounce Curl Define Edge Brush.
Why We Love It
I’ve mastered many aspects of taking care of my curls, but a foolproof styling technique isn’t one of them. I’d love to say that in the 10 years, I’ve been a naturalista I have an arsenal of techniques that have been at my disposal, but to be honest, I was a lazy curly girl. I often did a wash and go and then let it air dry. In the past few years, I added a detangling brush to help improve definition and manageability, but actually styling it was low on my bingo card.
The Bounce Curl Defining Edgelift Brush is a one-of-a-kind patented brush is designed with the brand’s distinctive, medium-spaced lateral edges and works to separate curls into defined clumps that minimize frizz, enhancing your curly mane with minimal work. When I say that it does 90% of the work whether you’re a novice or amateur curly, I tell no lies. It’s just that easy, and if you don’t believe us, just take a trip down TikTok, where you’ll see tons of curlies, coilies, and wavies being astounded at the instant results.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
What makes this brush unlike any other on the market is its patented design. It includes top edge ridges for clumping bangs and short hair, vegar boar bristles for frizz reduction and smoothing, and a ventilation hole for quick drying. The way the brush separates your individual strands while simultaneously detangling them makes it a must-have tool for anyone looking to save time on styling. You have complete control over how thick or thin your strands are, and the side and top edges do the rest of the work. If you’re like me and you are hesitant to try the many techniques that require alot of time and patience, then this tool is a game changer for your wash day routine. No more twisting your hair around the bottom part of the panel or using your fingers to part and individually coil each strand to the top of your head.
How I’ve Used It
The brand recently debuted a brick red shade for the holiday season but also has very feminine shades like teal, pink, and purple if you’re aiming for an aesthetically pleasing vibe. I use this for every single one of my wash days after a thorough cleansing and applying styling products like my cream and gel. I’ve never gotten more compliments about my hair than when I’m using this tool, and I’ve honestly never felt more confident with the overall results.
Say goodbye to frizz and hello to definition with the Bounce Curl Define Edgelift Brush.

There’s nothing like a great leave-in conditioner to set the foundation for the rest of your wash-and-go. Leave-in conditioners help to detangle, hydrate, and provide tons of slip to create your favorite styles. The honey wave has been pretty popular with many brands over the years, but while some use honey as part of their products, very few make it the staple of their formulas. I’ve used many honey products and have had a problem with the overtly sweet scent that can accompany such a fragrant ingredient. Camille Rose takes honey to the next level with their Honey Leave-In Conditioner, which softens, defines, and moisturizes all hair textures.
Why We Love It
As a 2023 NaturallyCurly best leave-in conditioner award winner, it’s safe to say that our readers love this product, which is why it caught my eye. It literally looks and feels like honey with a unique blend of honey, vitamins, and antioxidants that help soften and smooth strands. I was initially skeptical about using such a thick leave-in conditioner in my hair as I try to avoid anything too heavy, but it melted into my curls with no problem. This leave-in conditioner isn’t only very original in design, texture, and formulation, but it subverts expectations by not being heavy, sticky, and smelling too sweet.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
This is an excellent leave-in conditioner that provides all-day moisture, shine, and frizz control, which is a win-win for our books. It doesn’t leave any residue on your scalp or build-up and promotes health hair growth due to the olive fruit oil and aloe leaf ingredients that prevent any further hair breakage. As a person still in recovery from the blonde era of 2020, I’m always looking for a leave-in conditioner that will help keep my hair healthy. It’s truly in a category of its own because of its very similar properties to honey, which may come off scary at first until you take the plunge and watch how easily it applies to your hair.
How I Use It
Camille Rose Honey Hydrate Leave-In is added to my wash day routine after a very good cleanse. I carefully rake the product across my strands from root to tip and then detangleit with my favorite brush. One of the first things I notice every time I use it is the immediate shine across each of my curls which makes it appear as if I’ve already put an oil in my hair, but it’s just the richness of the formula. I then pair the product with a mousse or gel and watch my curls transform from wet to bouncy and beautiful goodness. Less is more with this product, but if you’re more heavy-handed, you’ll still be able to avoid any build-up.

There is nothing like a soft, pillowy, and buttery hair cream to elevate your curls, coils, and waves. Hair creams are integral to any textured hair regimen because they can repair, define, and style your hair. I have been on a quest for years to find a hair-cream I can add to my wash-and-go regimen that won’t weigh my curls down. I often use the LCO staples (leave-in, cream, oil) to help structure my wash-and-go routine, which means finding the right cream can be tricky. BREAD’s hair-cream is decadent in formula and application which is why it remains a staple for my curls.
Why We Love It
When I think of BREAD’s hair-cream, the first thing that comes to mind is marshmallow, pillowy, and soft. What I enjoy most about it is that it also doubles as a leave-in conditioner, which isn’t an easy feat to achieve in a product. I love that when I achieve the LCO method, I can cut out an extra product because this serves as a 2-in-1 punch. This isn’t a heavy product by any means and doesn’t leave any residue, build-up, or flaking when adding additional products. If you like a product with a light fragrance that isn’t overly sweet, then the marshmallow smell works as a great base for additional products that you’ll add on as part of your wash day. I have 3B-3C curls (that are still recovering from a Blonde era), so I need a cream that’s going to add hydration and moisture to quench my thirsty curls in recovery.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
Hair creams can be heavy, and some curlies and coilies skip right over them in favor of other stylers that won’t weigh their hair down. Some brands favor tons of oils in their creams,, which adds to weighing the hair down with excess oils, but BREAD’s formula includes quinoa protein, coconut extract, and mango butter for silky and bounce curls. BREAD’s soft-serve-like emulsion wraps your strands in lightweight shine, curl definition, and a fluffy marshmallow smell. It’s made to be raked through freshly washed, damp hair (in sections) from root to tip. This leave-in does it all, from braid-outs to slick buns, diffusing, air-drying, and every style. Instead of 4-5 styling products, it’s just one cute, reusable glass jar for your top shelf.
How I’ve Used It
I mainly use this product as part of my wash day routine after a good and thorough shampoo. A little goes a long way with this product, so I’ll scoop and distribute it throughout my curls and then detangle it from root to tip. It’s one of the few hair creams that have instant results from the moment they are used, with increased shine, manageability, and softness. This glides easily throughout each strand and sets the perfect base before I start adding in my stylers like a gel and mousse. If you don’t have time to add in any styling products, you’ll still get soft and defined results by either air drying or diffusing your hair.

Creating sleek edges has always been a manestay in natural haircare. Edges reflect creativity, culture, and versatility and add personality to any hairstyle. Today’s modern beauty mavens like Lori Harvey, Saweetie, and Yara Shahidi have put their edges as the centerpiece of their hairstyles, whether rocking protective styles or updos. I’ll be honest: I’m not a master of laying my edges by any means, but Briogeo’s newest Yuzu + Plum Oil Sleek Stick from their new 2024 Style + Treat Collection has ya girl feeling a bit more confident these days.
Why We Love It
There are tons of edge controls on the market that can range from feeling like glue to being extremely sticky. I like an edge control that is manageable and flexible to shape with my existing hairstyle. I don’t want to spend 30 minutes trying to make the product work with my edges. I need it to be easy, smooth, and stress-free. Briogeo’s styling stick helps to tame flyaways, frizz, and doesn’t drag or pull on my baby hairs. This is very important since that tension can contribute to hair thinning and hair loss. I’m already experiencing a bit of thinning around the crown of my head (a side effect of aging), so I’d rather not use a heavy or dense edge control that will contribute to that.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
Unlike other edge controls, which often have to be scooped out or require an edge control brush to help shape the product, the innovative styling stick glides easily over hair. It evenly distributes a nourishing blend of highly conditioning ingredients, providing 24-hour hold and frizz prevention with a sleek, glossy finish. I like that it’s in a small, slick format that makes it easy to take on the go and doesn’t require an edge control brush to lay the product into my hair. I notoriously always sweat out my edges living in Texas, so I can easily take this product and make any touch-ups as needed.
How I Use It
This product is fantastic for helping slick and hold ponytails or pulled-back styles like buns and updos. I love a good wash and go, but towards the end of the week, I’m usually throwing my hair up or in a bun, which means I need to slick down my hair. I try to avoid reusing lots of gel and hairspray since that can contribute to product build-up on my scalp. What I love when I use this styling stick is tha I don’t have to add on any additional products because it creates a glossy, frizz-free finish that stays all day. Even better on wash day, I don’t have to worry about a double shampoo thanks to the residue-free finish and animal wax-free formula that easily cleanses out of hair.
You can grab this sleek stick for $23 on Amazon. How do you feel about using an edge control stick? Let us know in the comments

Sea Moss was all the rage a few years ago, with OG brands like Curls and Mielle Organics creating signature lines centered on the power-packed ingredient. I’m a sucker for a good gel, but I will admit I was a bit skeptical at the idea of a curl slime. When I think of slime, my millennial brain goes to something Nickelodeon used for a game show or a substance I made in science class. I can say this product is definitely in a lane all by itself since any other hair products marketed as slime typically are color-based formulas meant to provide temporary color changes. But Curls Sea Moss Mineral Infused Slime proved to be more than just a styling product that would make my hair slimy; I got beautiful shine and hold my curls couldn’t get enough of.
Why We Love It
Textured hair needs nourishing vitamins and minerals, all-day moisture, balanced strengthening, manageability, and style! Finding a styler that can do all of these without creating any flaking, build-up, or tangles can be challenging. Many products claim to be beneficial for your hair, but sea moss contains hundreds of nutrients and minerals that are beneficial for your body and hair! I like using gels that create tons of hold, aren’t heavy, and will provide lots of definition to get me through my week. As a 3B-3C curlie I usually see my curl pattern starting to frizz and start loosening up about mid-week, so I’m always looking for products that will provide longevity.
How It Stands Up to Competitors
What makes this curl slime stand out from a regular gel is the texture and slippage that make it easy to coat your strands from head to toe. In addition to the very unique textures, it has many natural benefits that will leave your curls with shine and revive any dull and dry hair. As a vitamin-infused curl jelly that moisturizes curls with a medium hold, you’ll love how it makes your curls, coils, and waves feel and look. This silky jelly promotes a great amount of shine, and tons of slip. The sea slip mineral-infused curl slime benefits also include promoting healthy hair growth and retention, as well as moisture. The formula is anti-microbial, antioxidant, and anti-fungal which makes it great to use on a daily basis (which I have) for touch-ups and keeping my hair bouncy.
How I Use It
This is my go-to product during my wash-and-go days, and my curls have been happier. I use this product as the last step during wash days, and the key to getting the maximum benefits from it is to make sure your hair completely dries. I rake the product through each section of damp hair from root to tip. Word of caution that you’ll want to have a napkin or towel nearby because the slippage is real and I usually can’t pick up a brush while my hands are coated in the slime.
Donni Davy didn’t set out to become a beauty brand founder, let alone a makeup artist. This might come as a shock to fans of Davy, whose cult-favorite beauty looks on HBO’s hit show Euphoria’s have been integrated deep into the zeitgeist and onto everyone’s mood boards. The makeup artist was initially on a completely different career path: she was a photographer.
“I was an art kid; I was into painting, colors, and glitter. etc. I had no real interest in makeup growing up,” she tells Beautycon. “I decided to go to art school, the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, to study photography. I thought it would be a more proper way to monetize an artistic career.”
But as fate would have it, photography wasn’t the best fit. While she loved the story telling aspect of taking photos, she missed working directly with color and working with her hands. She also didn’t want something like a camera in between her and her subject. When a friend’s mom suggested that Davy look into makeup artistry for TV and film and connected her with someone who could put her in touch with makeup artist Jane Galli, Davy took a crash course in all things makeup and the rest was history.
“I was excited to learn a new skill,” she says. “I was excited at the prospect of being a film and TV makeup artist. It would not just be about making already beautiful people more hot or prettier; I liked that it was more and deeper than that and that I could use my brain more.”
It’s a lesson in trusting your gut and following the things that make you genuinely happy, even if it means doing a hard pivot on where you thought you should be. When you pair those instincts with a hard work ethic, Davy worked her way to becoming the makeup lead on films such as Moonlight and If Beale Street Could Talk before landing Euphoria, where her work took social media by storm. Bold colors and experimental looks, everyone—us included—couldn’t stop talking about the makeup.
“Showing that type of look and that kind of attention to makeup on these characters that were real and gritty, and going through real life struggles made it so that it wasn’t just about making this actor look pretty. [The makeup] is intentional, thoughtful, and adds to the story line,” she says.
With the success of Euphoria and the virality of the makeup looks she created, it was only natural that many brands reached out in hopes of collaborating with her for special collections. But none of those offers felt quite right. It wasn’t until producers of the hit show and entertainment company A24 approached her with the opportunity to create something she can call entirely her own that she followed her instincts and said yes.
Thus Half Magic was born. Launched in 2022, Half Magic is every makeup maximalist’s dream. Bold pigmented blushes, shadows, mascaras, and lip colors in shades of the blues, pinks, reds, greens, chocolates, etc. with vibrant matte or shimmery finishes, iridescent face jewels, and fool-proof liner to perfect the killer cat-eye—the makeup line is the same whimsical and ethereal essence you get from watching the show. You can channel your favorite Euphoria character or dip your toes into fun makeup looks for times you’re feeling creative and adventurous. All products in the collection are vegan and cruelty-free, and user-friendly no matter your makeup experience. It was an instant hit and has become a staple for beauty lovers everywhere.
Success like this, however, doesn’t come overnight. Davy remembers taking jobs on Craigslist starting out, such as doing makeup for company headshots where she learned how to put makeup on different skin types or helping student directors with their films where she would be referred to by others. She credits these small jobs that gave her the skills, building blocks, and connections to prep her for the bigger projects. She encourages others to learn as much as they can by saying yes to the things that will help them hone in on their craft. Don’t be entitled, try not to compare yourself to others, and, probably most important of all, you have to deeply love what you do to do it right.
“If you’re not able to get obsessed with whatever it is you’re working towards, it won’t pan out,” she says. “You have to be obsessed.”
As for upcoming projects we can look forward to, Euphoria is coming back for a third season in 2026. While she can’t spill on what’s to come for season 3 plot-wise or makeup looks-wise, she can share this: “There will be a lot of new Half Magic on the show.” We’ll be counting down the days until then.
It’s that time of year when brilliant Black women come together to celebrate each other. In other words, ESSENCE had their 18th annual Black Women in Hollywood event yesterday in Los Angeles. The ceremony honored Teyana Taylor, Cynthia Erivo, Raamla Mohamed, Marla Gibbs, and more. To say the very least, the attendees served us next-level glamour, confidence, and all the melanin magic we could ever dream of.
For starters, Bel-Air actress Coco Jones was giving us inches on the red carpet with her long, sleek, straight hair. Tyra Banks, with her long, blonde curly locks, struck a pose and served diva energy from head-to-toe. Want to know what Tyla and Teyana Taylor have in common? Other than being fabulous and talented, they both rocked chic, short curly hairstyles.
When it came to makeup, the melanin was definitely on display. Claws actress Niecy Nash was giving us lavender vibes with her lip and eyeshadow combo. Orange Is The New Black star Laverne Cox showed up with a bold burgundy eyeshadow, red lips, and a red highlighter, making sure all eyes were on her. Lastly, Star actress Ryan Destiny wowed us with her deep red lipstick, proving she’s got the perfect pout.
Here are our favorite beauty moments from the 2025 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Awards.
