Hydrating shampoo and conditioner sets and hair oils, in particular, are a great way to care for 2C hair, a.k.a. wavy hair or strands that fall somewhere on the spectrum between straight and curly hair. It’s the loosest of the wavy hairstyles, with a lot of body, movement, and definable hair patterns that are unique to curly hair types.

What Having a 2C Hair Type Means

2C hair types are characterized as loose, wavy hair. Unlike 2A or 2B types, this wave is much looser. For care and styling, it’s best to look into hair products that help reduce frizz and add shine. 2C hair types are prone to frizz so hydrating shampoo and conditioner sets and lightweight oils work well on this type of hair. These types of products are hydrating and renewing while still being light enough to keep from weighing your strands down. Keep scrolling to find a few of our favorite tried-and-true options:
