Hair Product Guide: Winter 2026 Edition

The Winter 2026 Hair Product Guide is Here!

Since 2019, the #1 question I get is:
“What products should I use?”

But the truth is—matching someone’s “hair type” (like 3C or 4A) barely scratches the surface. What really matters is understanding your curls: their behavior, needs, and how they respond to products.

This seasonal guide helps you do exactly that.

Inside, you’ll identify the key traits of your curls or your child’s curls, then learn what to use, how to use it, and why it works. You’ll get curated, no-fluff recommendations based on real-life results—designed especially for tight curls and mixed-race kids' curls.

Here’s what’s inside:
• Seasonal picks for shampoo, conditioner, stylers & more
• Organized by product type and curl behavior
• Carmen’s Notes + real-world hair care regimens
• Bonus Resource Page with linked extras
• Digital format – view anytime on any device

Whether you're refreshing your routine or starting from scratch, this is your clean, simple, and trusted guide to better curls this winter.
