Best Grooming Routine for Textured Hair: Curl Cream, Shampoo & More
A Simple System That Works for Wavy, Curly, and Coarse Hair
Textured hair needs a different approach. More moisture, less heat. Better products, not more of them.
If you’ve got waves, curls, or coarse hair — and you’re tired of fluff, frizz, or flatness — this is your straightforward routine. Designed by a barber, tested in Byron Bay, and built around real texture.
Step 1: Cleanse (2–3x/week)
Most shampoos strip textured hair. That’s why your curls feel dry and shapeless. You need a cleanser that removes buildup without killing moisture.
Try: Fry’s Tide Break Curl Shampoo – gentle, no sulfates, curl-safe
Step 2: Condition (Every wash)
Hydration is everything. Conditioner softens the cuticle, reduces frizz, and gives you natural movement. Apply mid-lengths to ends and leave it in for 2–3 minutes.
Try: Fry’s Undertow Volume Conditioner or Coil Calm Curl Conditioner
Step 3: Towel Right
Pat dry with a microfiber towel or old T-shirt. No rubbing. Keep some moisture in — that’s your styling base.
Step 4: Apply Curl Cream (While Damp)
Rake a small amount of curl cream through your hair from root to tip. Scrunch it in for shape.
Try: Break Line Daily Curl Cream – adds definition without crunch
Step 5: Let It Set
Air dry or diffuse on low heat. Don’t touch it until dry — that’s when curls hold their shape.

Final Word
Textured hair doesn’t need taming. It needs support — products that bring out the best of what you’ve already got. This isn’t about control. It’s about confidence.
