40 Beauty Products Our Editors Discovered in 2021 and Now Can't Live Without

"Over the past couple of years, my hair has gone from a few inches to past my shoulders (pre-shrinkage). With all of my new length, it's important that I keep my curls hydrated so my hair can continue to grow healthily. Luckily, my 2C-4A pattern curls thrive with the Pattern Leave-In Conditioner ($25). I can go days without having to wash my hair in order to get defined curls because they just stay that way. But when I do want a bit more shine and frizz protection, I add the brand's Curl Gel." — AW
