By Jacqueline Samaroo

The holidays are fast approaching. It’s time to start thinking of how you’d like to show your curly-haired family and friends all the love and appreciation they deserve. One way to do that is with Black hair products that will both pamper and nurture their beautiful textures.

Not sure what to get? No worries! The CurlyNikki gift guide is here to help you find the very best gifts for friends and family this holiday season. Here are 25 awesome curly hair gift ideas to choose from or to be inspired by. Enjoy!

Kitsch Pro Scrunchies and Spiral Hair Ties

This Kitsch Pro set comes with five “softer than silk” scrunchies made of charmeuse satin. These are great for sleeping in as the material and elastic are very gentle on hair. It also features two super-soft microfiber scrunchies your curlfriend can wear when her hair is slightly damp or wet. The set includes eight telephone cord spiral scrunchies, as well, that hold hair securely without leaving an annoying dent. It makes a great protecting and styling gift for curly hair.

Beautifully Warm Oversized Satin-Lined Slouchy Beanie (2 Pk)

This is one of the best holiday gifts for friends and family! The temperature is falling, you need to bundle up, keep warm, and still be stylin’ and profilin’. There are several color options to choose from and each Beautifully Warm beanie is lined with soft satin, so you know the fabric won’t tug on and damage your strands. Plus, it comes in a pack of two – so, it could make a gift for two curlfriends OR you could just keep one of these cuties for yourself!

Taliah Waajid Green Apple & Aloe with Coconut 5 pcs Combo Set

Give your curly-haired friend a big assist in her natural haircare routine with this five-product set from Taliah Waajid. In this thoughtful curly hair gift set, your bestie gets a leave-in conditioner, shampoo, hair gel, curl elixir, and curl definer all in an amazing green apple and aloe combination. Her curls will reap the healthy hair benefits these two ingredients provide and she’ll love the refreshing scent each product leaves in her hair.

Drybar Hold Me Hair Clips

Textured hair needs to be treated gently as it tends to be more delicate than other types of hair. A part of caring for curls, waves, coils, and kinks is working with the hair in sections. These Drybar clips can help! They hold the other sections of your hair firmly as you blow-dry, add products to, or style one section of your hair. This curly hair gift will be a big help to your friend as she does her twists, Bantu knots, and braids. The clips can be used on both wet and dry hair and will securely hold both large and small sections of hair.

My Big Curly Hair Apparel T-Shirt

Do you have a curlfriend who takes on life like a boss? Or, is she just a jumble of to-do sticky notes and cheerful smiles? This is the perfect gift for her in either case! Help her flaunt her love of her natural curls and her love of being on the go in this cotton/cotton blend t-shirt. These shirts make really good gifts for friends and family. Select from five color options and sizes ranging from small to 3XL in “women,” “men,” and “youth” fit.

DevaCurl Rich & Decadent Trio

This curly hair products gift set features mini sizes of DevaCurls’ No-Poo Decadence non-lathering shampoo and One Condition Decadence moisture-packed conditioner. You also get its non-crunchy, non-flaky Ultra Defining Gel. Each one is dermatologist-developed for coarse waves, curls, and coils. They are meant to be gentle while leaving dry, coarse hair softer and more manageable – your curlfriend will LOVE that!

Motique Accessories Wide Satin Hard Headband

Headbands are IN! Treat a curlfriend or two to a stylish headband she is sure to wear again and again. It’s two inches wide at the top to hold even the unruliest curls in place. Plus, it’s made of smooth satin in a no-teeth design so you know it won’t be tugging and ripping out her hair. This headband from Motique Accessories comes in 15 different solid and vibrant colors that would make wonderful Christmas gifts for close friends.

Sephora Collection Silicone Scalp Massager

Scalp care is a big part of natural haircare. A healthy scalp is one way to help ensure strong and healthy hair growth. A scalp massage, especially when done with beneficial hair oils, improves blood circulation in the skin of the scalp. This helps to bring oxygen and nutrients to the growing cells of the hair follicles. Give this scalp massager from the Sephora Collection to a curly bestie so she can enjoy its relaxing AND stimulating benefits.

Bumble and bumble The Curl-Loving Collection

Looking for a gift with the “Wow Factor”? This Curl-Loving Collection from Bumble and bumble is the thing. It’s one of the best holiday gifts for friends and family to help them pamper their naturally textured hair in the hectic holiday season and beyond. The set comes with a shampoo, conditioner, curl-defining cream, and curl reactivator. They are made with an oil and butter blend that nourishes hair and has a maximum moisturizing effect.

Isoken Enofe Ankara Fabric Headwrap

Help your curly-haired friend slay the stylin’ and profilin’ game anywhere she goes during the holidays. This Ankara print headwrap from Isoken Enofe is 54 x 18 inches – a good size for transforming it into several different styles to match whatever she is wearing and any occasion. The print shown here is just one of almost 20 that you can choose from. It’s the type of accessory you can use as gifts for friends and family without them feeling like you got them all the same thing – really smart!

Tangle Teezer Detangling Hairbrush

Coils, curls, and kinks have a natural tendency to tangle and knot. They need gentle detangling to prevent breakage and to retain length. The Tangle Teezer is designed to quickly and gently detangle wet or dry hair. It fits snugly in your palm so there is no risk of it slipping and tugging out your strands – ouch! This brush makes a great gift for curly hair care for young and old alike. It comes in over a dozen color options, a few of which are printed in kid-friendly designs.

Curlsmith Transition Kit

Transitioning your hair from processed to natural is a journey of patience. But, it’s one in which you get to really learn about your own hair type and curl pattern and what’s best for them. Do you have a friend on her journey to natural hair? Show her some loving support with this transition kit from Curlsmith. It’s packed as a curly hair products gift set, featuring a cleansing conditioner, moisturizing hair mask, style balm, and style fixer.
