Detangling sessions are an integral part of the curly hair life. So, it’s no surprise we kick off our list of the best curly hair tools with the detangling brush. While it is highly unlikely any of us view detangling sessions as fun, they really shouldn’t be tear-jerkers either.

2. Wide-tooth comb

Wide-tooth combs are gentle on your strands, helping to minimize tangling, split ends, and breakage. That’s all thanks to their wider-spaced teeth and the teeth having a larger diameter than you would find in a regular comb. Both of these characteristics also make it gentler on your scalp. For extra scalp protection, go with a comb that has rounded tips on the teeth.

3. Edge brush/comb

No list of hair tools for curly hair could possibly be complete without an edge brush. A slayed hairline can add the perfect finishing touch to any natural hairstyle. You must keep in mind, however, that baby hairs need to be treated with tender, loving care. They are fragile. Over-manipulation will cause them to break much more easily than your other hairs.

You will need an edge brush and/or edge comb that won’t rough them up but will still stimulate the scalp beneath them to promote healthy growth.

4. Pick comb

The pick comb has a long hairstyling history. Its use has been traced back to 5,500 – 6,000 years ago in Egypt. Back then, it went beyond hairstyling. It also served as a symbol of status, as well as carried religious meaning.

Fast forward to the present day and the pick comb or afro pick is still one of the best tools for styling kinky and tightly curled hair. Want to add volume to an afro? The pick comb is just the thing to help you do it!

5. Hair diffuser

Protecting your hair regardless of the styling method you choose is what the best curly hair tools are all about. So if you are into heat styling your curly tresses, how can you get big, bouncy hair from your blow dryer while minimizing the chances of heat damage? If you guessed “use a hair diffuser,” you’re absolutely right. Plus, a diffuser will help to prevent frizziness and get your curls dry faster.

Diffusers can be used with all hair types but you have to adjust your technique a bit, depending on your hair type. If you have tighter curls or coily hair, for instance, use a lower heat and speed setting and hold the diffuser further from your hair.
