Schwarzkopf Osis + Twin Curl Cream
Price: $12.99 at amazon.com I’ve mentioned OSIS line before and I’m definitely going to do it again now although we are going to talk about a different product for curly hair this time. And, while my personal favorite, standard curl cream is meant to give wavy to moderately curly hair that perfect dose of loopy curls and bounce, Twin Curl Cream promises to help with even the frizziest, most coarse of manes! Potent gel texture of phase 1 will give your frizzy, unruly strands perfect hold and texture while a creamy, phase 2 follow up ensures your hair will stay smooth, frizz-free and soft even after it dries completely.

Matrix Biolage Perm
Price: $11.50 at amazon.com Don’t shoot – I’m not going to suggest at-home tinkering of any kind despite the fact that this product is being sold as DIY perm!
