Why it’s curl-friendly: Great for a medium hold, the Curl Gel from Pattern features hydrating ingredients such as aloe vera, coconut oil and cacay oil. When you want bouncy curls, this is the product to snag. With over 300 reviews and a 4.4-star rating, one shopper said it offers a “lasting hold.”

“Out of all of her stylers, this one is my favorite,” the customer wrote. “I have 3c/4a hair and this product gives me beautiful definition and lasting hold. And the results are amplified when you put this on top of a leave-in. Extra moisture. I highly recommend this.”

Why it’s curl-friendly: This Coil Sculpting Custard from Mielle was specially designed for type 4 hair without any parabens, sulfates or dyes. Ideal for deep definition, the gel-like product is somewhat heavy right out of the jar, but once it dries it leaves your hair weightless and defined. Target shoppers have given the product a 4.4-star rating. One customer noted that your hair needs to be wet, so the curling custard doesn’t flake on you.

“Holds my wash and go (4a and 4c), and it doesn’t look dried out,” they wrote. “Just be careful because it can flake if you don’t use it on wet hair. So if you have a lot of hair, keep a spray bottle handy to add water to your sections.”
