If you have a curly-haired person in your life, you might be aware of the huge amount of effort that goes into maintaining that beautiful hair. So if you manage to surprise them with a well thought out “curly hair gift”, acknowledging that part of their life, you can be sure to make a lasting impression!
Be assured that these are gifts for curly hair girls AND guys and anything in between. The formulation “Curly girl gifts” simply relates to the popular “Curly girl method” by Lorraine Massey.
So what do you buy people with curly hair? Let’s get started with our curly girl gift guide!

Denman Brush
The Denman brush has made huge waves on curly TikTok’s and other social media. Influencers show how easily you can use the brush to beautifully style and define curl “clumps”. (Yeah, I that doesn’t sound too attractive, but it’s what we curlies want our hair to do!)
Additionally, the brush is strong enough to deal even with really thick, stubborn curly hair.
It is the perfect curly girl gift if your friend likes to stay up-to-date on the latest curly hair trends. They’ll be able to really appreciate this!
You can order it here* or get it from any well-sorted beauty supply store!
Hair Steamer / Thermal Heat Cap
Does it look weird? Absolutely. Is it one of the best curly hair gifts you could give? Also yes!
Many curly-haired people use a microwaveable cap* for their deep conditioning sessions. And those work very well, too. But this electric steamer cap steps the luxury up a notch!
Whoever uses it can get the (usually expensive) salon experience at home while helping their hair fully absorb the conditioning treatment.
The perfect curly girl gift for any occasion!

Kerotin Scalp Massager
Scalp massagers are another social media star. Does anyone urgently NEED it? Nah. But is it an awesome curly girl gift? Definitely!
Especially for strict followers of the curly girl method who do CO-wash only, a good scalp massage is really important to remove any product buildup. These scalp massagers make the job significantly easier.
And, let’s be honest, using a tool rather than your fingers just feels more… professional?
Garnier Hair Food
Another breakout star among the curly hair products this years is the Garnier Hair Food, specifically the Banana one. (Although I also love and use the Aloe Vera one (available here!)* extensively!)
The magic of this product is that it works for every hair type. Thanks to it’s versatility you can use it as a conditioner, mask, or even leave-in. That makes it work for kinky curly hair just as well as for wavy hair.
It helps give the curls shape, reduces frizz, and reduces dryness. One downside though: the banana variant has quite a strong scent. Too strong for some people.
So if the person you want to give your curly hair gift to might not like it, check out some of the other flavours. Or, if you want to go for a whole curly hair food gift set, get all of the flavours and let them find out which one works best for them!

Aunt Jackie’s Haircare set
Obviously we can’t talk about the best curly girl gifts without talking about curly hair gift sets. And what better set to go for than Aunt Jackie’s Haircare set for curly hair!
It’s a 4 piece set with a shampoo, detangler, conditioner, and curl creme. Really everything you could need. (Well, almost everything. You’ll still need a gel, check the next point!)
I’ve yet to meet a curly person who doesn’t love Aunt Jackie’s products. They simply work!

Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink Curling Gel
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: this gel is one of the curly girl must-haves! It’s the only gel I’ve found that doesn’t flake or stick and still gives you wonderfully moisturised, beautifully shaped curls.
Can you tell I love it?!
And whoever you’ll give this curly hair gift to, I’m sure they’ll love it to! Also, it perfectly completes the haircare gift set above. Win win!
