The curly-hair market has been booming lately. New natural hair brands are popping up left and right, while "mainstream" lines are adding more products and tools for curly locks to their collections. (Finally!) The result: A shit-ton of products that cater to springy, bouncy strands landing on shelves. It's time to make room, because these brands are bringing you even more leave-ins, masks, and cleansing conditioners to add to your already cramped bathroom space. (We'll say it again: Finally!)
To celebrate, we've asked some of these companies to share all the info on their latest launches, so click through to see what's in store. We apologize to both your bank account and roommates in advance. Your hair, on the other hand, can thank us later.
Is it just us, or does it seem like SheaMoisture launches a new collection every other day? No complaints here, aside from the cries from our wallets. The brand is coming out with a new line of high- and low-porosity products for 2016 that we're very excited about.
SheaMoisture Low Porosity Protein-Free Shampoo, $10.99, available end of January at Target.
The low-porosity line is infused with star ingredients like baobab and tea-tree oil, which help promote scalp health and hydrate hair. Don't know where your strands fall? If your cuticles tend to lie flat and resist moisture and conditioning oils, this is the collection for you.

It's a gel-to-oil treatment that you can leave in either overnight or for a couple of hours prior to cleansing. Massage it into your mane — from root to tip. The gel will melt into an oil over time, and will leave you with the best smelling and softest hair around.
