When it comes to achieving definition in curly human braiding hair, the correct use of products can make or break your style. Because human hair reacts to hydration and styling products much like natural hair, the goal is to achieve definition without compromising softness and shine.

Begin with a moisturizing leave-in conditioner. This detangles the hair, rehydrates it, and provides a smooth foundation prior to styling.

Then, apply a curl-defining cream or curl activator. These creams define the natural curl pattern of the human braiding hair without making it stiff. Use a small amount, section by section, to distribute it evenly. Simply scrunch the curls with your fingers to promote shape and bounce.

For added hold and enduring definition, top with a light gel or mousse. Choose alcohol-free products to keep the hair from drying out. They secure the curls without leaving them stiff or dry.

To add shine and cut frizz during the day, top with a few drops of anti-frizz serum or natural oil. Argan or jojoba oil provides a shiny finish while locking in moisture.

Lastly, avoid excessive heat and use a diffuser at low settings or air-dry the hair. Refresh the curls every day with water and leave-in conditioner spray to keep them vibrant and natural-looking.

Using the correct blend of hydrating, defining, and sealing products, your curly human braiding hair will remain gorgeous and well-defined, soft, and easy to handle ideal for any look or event.​
