Top 10 Second-Day Curly Hair Products

BEST FOR: If your second-day curls and waves are prone to dryness, this could be your fix. Formulated with 100% shea butter, a few spritzes is all it takes to amp up the moisture instantly.

USERS SAID: "This is like liquid gold in a spray bottle. I use this not only as a revitalizer but also as the star for my wash and go's. My hair is left moisturized and bouncy—never hard or dry. Oh, and the smell is enchanting!"

WHAT IT DOES: This curl refresher is packed with caviar (fancy, huh?), which adds serious shine and serious anti-aging benefits. Expect a decrease in frizz and flyaways, added moisture without the weight, and soft, smooth strands that are protected from heat styling.

FROM THE EXPERTS: Based on a clinical study, results showed a 93% reduction in breakage, heat protection up to 450 degrees, and frizz control for up to eight hours. This stuff packs a punch, people.

WHY YOU NEED IT: This may be one of the pricier products on the list, but it's a major multitasker. You can use it in the shower as a conditioner, on dry hair as a finisher or second-day refresher, and as a UV protectant before heat styling or hitting the beach or pool.

LOVED FOR: This product is crazy hydrating, but it won't leave your locks feeling greasy or heavy.

WHAT IT DOES: When you're simply not in the mood to shampoo, this lavender-infused formula will save you. It brings curls back to life and even refreshes and hydrates the scalp, leaving your strands as soft and smooth as they are when you wash them.

FUN FACT: The crisp, floral scent not only smells fabulous, but it also provides a soothing and calming effect. We know what we'll be starting our mornings with from now on.

BEST FOR: Don't let the knots that formed overnight keep you from rocking a second-day 'do—reach for this refreshing spray for instant detangling and definition.

USERS SAID: "I'd been struggling to find a way to refresh my curls on days I don't wash, and this is perfect! It has a light, pleasant scent and adds just enough moisture and frizz control so that my hair doesn't actually look like I didn't wash it."

WHY WE LOVE IT: "I've tried tons of products to tame my second-day waves over the years, and this is one of the few that I actually use until the bottle runs dry. It adds serious definition and softness—no stiffness or stickiness—which is so tough to find in a curl product these days!"—Kate Ferris, Staff Writer

HELPFUL TIP: While this is ideal for reviving day-two hair, you can also use it right out of the shower to help enhance natural texture as you air dry. In other words, it can pretty much replace all the hair products in your medicine cabinet.

WHAT IT DOES: Bedhead is no match for this baby. With agave nectar to moisturize and fight frizz and sweet almond oil to soften and detangle, this is all you need to revive slept-on, smashed, and smushed curls.

BEST FOR: Thanks to the extra-gentle formula that won't weigh hair down, this product is ideal for fine to normal textures.

BEST FOR: Consider this product the key to getting that effortless French-girl hair. The best part? The results last all day long and then some.

HELPFUL TIP: Spritz it on damp or dry strands to let it enhance your natural wave pattern, or twist and scrunch for a more defined look.

LOVED FOR: As its name suggests, this product is ideal for both freshly-washed waves and day-three ones alike. We're all for multitaskers over here.

USERS SAID: "This product is my holy grail! I have thick, fine, frizzy, curly hair that is outrageous if not taken care of properly. Right after I get out of the shower, I spray this in my hair, and it makes my curls perfect and bearable! I have been getting so many compliments lately and have already referred this to so many people! This is a must-buy!"

LOVED FOR: It's pretty tough for a product to master the fine lines between glossy and greasy, shapely and stiff, and full and frizzy, but this serum-gel formula does just that.

BEST FOR: You can definitely use this anytime you please, but since it adds intense moisture and hold, Style Prep is ideal for when you need to bring in the big guns—we're talking days three and four.
