So Christmas is next week and you still haven’t shopped for the special curlfriends in your life…the first I need you to breath…..and now find your wallet because we have some things to discuss (and buy)!

I have compiled a list of items for every type of hair enthusiast you know and the majority of the items I selected are available on amazon prime to ensure you get your gifts in time for no one to notice you waited until the last minute! The list is in no particular order but if you have any questions just leave them in the comments!

1. HAIR STEAMER

I did a survey on my YouTube channel and other than hair products this was the number 1 pick for all of my curlfriends. Hair steaming is so important to your healthy hair journey. Steaming the hair can be done in a bunch of creative ways but there is nothing like having a steamer that you can just add water to, sit down drink some tea, read a book, and dream about how bomb your hair is about to feel. But why is it important? The moist heat from the steamer encourages blood flow which stimulates hair growth. Further, it lifts the hair cuticle which allows the hair treatment to get deep into the strands. It is the hair contraption every textured hair girl needs!

2. HOODED DRYER

A hooded dryer is a convenient way to dry the hair and set those beautiful curly and even straight styles in place. This is a super versatile machine because it can dry the hair and also help to process hair treatments as well. It isn’t a moisturizing champion like the hair steamer, but it definitely gets the job done! I use my hooded dryer whenever I was to dry and set my wash and go’s, if I want to process a night protein treatment, or if I do my twist out late and night and need a quick drying session before bed. I included the dryer I currently have, which stands up by itself (and an alternative if mine is out of stock). I also included a table top dryer which can be beneficial if you have limited space or need something more mobile.

3. DYSON SUPERSONIC HAIR DYER (Splurge)

The coveted Dyson Supersonic Hair Dyer that everyone wants but no one wants to spend the coin on. To be clear this hair dryer is worth the high price tag. This hair dryer is uses Dyson technology to get your hair straight or dried faster and with less heat and less frizz. It typically retails for about $400 but everyone who has one says its worth the coin and this is the perfect gift for all the curly and straight-haired people in your life. I couldn’t find this dryer on Amazon, so I included the links to the other retailors that sell below. While you’re at it…buy me one too haha jk jk

4. REVAIR DRYER (Splurge)

Similar to the Dyson blow dryer, the RevAir straightens, stretches and dries the hair without the need of extreme heat and in record time! If you’re curlfriend takes forever to blow of their like I do or has a tender scalp (like I do haha) this is the perfect device for them! If you buy this for your special someone, it wont ship until January but they provide a printable gift message that you slip into a card or even huge gift box if you are feeling mischievous.

5. WASH DAY ESSENTIALS KIT

This is a nice group of items you can get if you are on a tight budget or want to get a bunch of little affordable things. The list below includes stuff that are essential to my wash day, so I know your curlfriend would love them! If you don’t want to get everything I suggest getting the deep conditioning cap and the processing caps (you’re welcome haha)

6. SCALP MASSAGER & GROWTH OIL

This is perfect for all your self-care kings and queens whether they have curls, coils, kinks, locs, or even straight hair. with who is either on a hair growth journey or is in need of some relaxation. Scalp massages help to increase blood flow to the scalp which helps to stimulate hair growth. Then if you add a super nourishing oil to the equation that will not only keep the scalp nice and moisturized, but those nutrients also help stimulate an atmosphere of growth as well. You can choose any oil, but I chose is a really good option.

7. SATIN EVERYTHING!

This is for your lazy naturals, newly naturals, or even your younger curl friends. Satin is not only great for your skin but it is a gentle fabric that wont dry your hair out or cause any unnecessary friction that can cause damage to the hair in the long run. Even if you wear a satin scarf or bonnet the perimeter of the hair can still be exposed so having a satin pillowcase provides extra protection. Also, a satin lined cap is not only great at protecting the hair but it has a nice opening in the back which makes it easier to get every kink, curl, and coil together! Add in a couple satin scrunchies and you will have one happy, satin covered, curlfriend!

8. DETANGLING & STYLING BRUSH

There are so many detangling brushes out there but below are my favorites! If you only want to get one brush I suggest getting the Felicia Leatherwood brush. It’s the most versatile and can be used with ease on wet, dry, straight, or curly hair! All the other brushes are good at detangling as well (except the denman is more for styling) and you can’t go wrong with buying any of them (or all haha)

9. HAIR PRODUCTS (Number 1 Choice!)

The runner up for most popular Christmas wish are of course hair products!! I know we just finished black Friday shopping but we wont get our things until January (hides in shame). But on a serious note a well thought out product gifting would make any curlfriend a happy camper!

When getting hair products as a gift my strategy is to get sets and a gift receipt haha I personally like to have the shampoo, conditioner, leave in, and styler from the same line. If you are unfamiliar with lines, just look at the color of the packaging and make sure the brand’s name matches and you will be fine haha. Below are some of my favorite black owned brands on Amazon. If you are confused about what to buy just send me a question in the comments and I got you! Below are some of my favorite brands to shop on Amazon

10. GIFT CARDS & MONEY

If all else fails get a gift card, bring them on a shopping spree to target, or hand them your card so they can get what they want! You can also give give a gift card to their favorite place. Just look through the closet or the product stash and see what’s on the labels for some inspiration. Below are some of the retailers most of my curlfriends like to shop at!

THE TAKE AWAY

Whatever you decide to gift, just make sure it is from the heart and no matter what you choose, I’m sure you’re curlfriend or not so curly friend will love it! Take care and happy holidays!
