Finding the right hair products can be a challenge, especially for wavy, frizzy Southeast Asian hair like mine.

After some trial and error, these are the ones that have truly worked well and made a noticeable difference in managing my Filipino hair texture.

1. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 68 Perfume Mist

This is my go-to for finishing my look. Its floral and fresh scent feels clean and suits my style perfectly. Made for both body and hair, it’s gentle and non-drying. When paired with the matching cream, the fragrance lasts even longer.

2. Amika Perk Up Plus Dry Shampoo

On days when I skip washing, I use this dry shampoo to soak up oil from my scalp. It doesn’t leave any white residue or cause itchiness and rinses out easily during my next wash.

3. Eva NYC Mane Magic 10-in-1 Primer

This versatile spray adds shine and helps detangle damp hair. The fine mist sprayer ensures even application without weighing the hair down.

4. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Oil

A little goes a long way with this oil. I apply it to mid-lengths and ends to keep frizz under control and add softness, especially after heat styling.

These products have helped me tame my hair while keeping it healthy and fresh. If you have similar hair, these might work well for you too!
