The smell of new notebooks, choosing a planner, good resolutions… September's back-to-school season is the perfect time for a fresh start. But have you thought about getting your curly hair ready for it too?
To have radiantly healthy hair all year round, good products are essential, but they aren't everything. An effective hair care routine also relies on the right tools: a good craftsman needs good tools! For textured hair (wavy, curly, coily or afro-textured) in top shape, forgetting your curly hair accessories would be like going to class without your pencil case.
Forget pens and highlighters: here's the official JIA Paris hair supplies list to slip into your bathroom for a successful year and an optimised curly hair care routine!
Why do the right accessories transform your curly hair?
We often spend hours looking for the ideal shampoo or the most hydrating mask possible, but we overlook the mechanical impact of the tools we use every day.
Curly hair has a particularly fragile spiral structure. At each turn of the curl, the fiber thins, creating weak points where the hair can break at the slightest snag. Using a classic brush or an unsuitable towel can undo all the hydration efforts of your treatments.
Conversely, choosing the right accessories maximizes the penetration of active ingredients, preserves the integrity of the cuticle and simplifies styling. It's the secret to halving your time in the bathroom while achieving perfect, long-lasting definition.
That's why, as back-to-school season approaches, renewing your tools is just as crucial as renewing your products.
1. The back-to-school survival kit for detangling and curl definition
It's the absolute foundation of any good hair care routine: having tools that respect your hair fibre to avoid breakage when styling and keep your curly hair perfectly healthy.
The Detangling Brush (the knot eraser)
Textured hair tangles easily because its spiral shape encourages strands to interlock with one another.
However, tugging at it with the wrong comb is the worst mistake you can make.
Our Detangling Brush has been specially designed to glide through your damp lengths and remove knots without breakage or pain. Thanks to its soft bristles and flexible head, it adapts to the density of your hair without straining the fibre. It's one of the essential accessories for an effective, stress-free hair routine.
The Curls Brush (the definition compass)
Once your hair is perfectly detangled and your leave-in products (such as a leave-in or a gel) applied, this brush is the ultimate tool for sculpting your curls.
Unlike ordinary brushes, the Curls Brush separates strands into even ribbons (the clumping technique).
It offers enhanced definition, greatly improves the effectiveness of your styling products and helps form perfect, bouncy, shiny, long-lasting spirals for flawless curly hair from morning to night.
2. The tools for a healthy scalp and more effective treatments
For your curly hair to grow healthily and keep its natural volume, you need to stimulate the roots and maximise the penetration of your masks and deep treatments.
The Stimulating Brush (the activator)
The scalp is the soil your hair grows in: it needs to breathe!
The Stimulating Brush can be used in the shower while shampooing to loosen product residue, or when applying our Growth Lotion to a dry scalp. It gently exfoliates the scalp, removes dandruff and stimulates blood microcirculation.
This regular scalp massage promotes optimal delivery of nutrients to the hair bulb to boost the growth of textured hair.
The Heating Cap (the effectiveness booster)
Want to get the most out of your hair care? Heat is the best way to achieve it. The outer structure of the hair is made of scales (the cuticles).
Under gentle, moist heat, these scales open up, allowing nourishing actives like Shea butter or Castor oil to penetrate right into the heart of the cortex.
Our Heated Hair Cap considerably boosts the effectiveness of your deep treatments and gives you the professional results of a hair spa right at home. An absolute essential among curly hair accessories.
3. The kit for drying and refreshing curly hair
Drying and refreshing curls are often critical steps where frizz loves to make an appearance.
Here's how to finish and maintain your hair routine without compromising the result.
The Microfiber Towel (The gentle shield)
Rubbing your curly hair with a regular cotton towel after showering is the surest way to create harsh friction, open the cuticle scales, cause frizz and break the fibre already weakened by water.
Our high-quality fleece Microfiber Towel gently absorbs excess water without drying out the fiber. It lets you use the plopping or scrunching technique for fast, frizz-free drying that firmly prevents breakage.
The Hair Mist (The everyday tool)
With its generous 300 ml size and its ultra-fine, long, controlled mist, the Hair Mist is the undisputed king of the morning refresh! No more classic sprays that shoot out big drops and soak your strands.
Simply fill it with water (and optionally a drop of leave-in) to lightly dampen your curls when you wake up. This reactivates the products applied the day before and instantly redefines curls without weighing hair down. A quick, simple habit to keep beautiful curly hair between washes.
The Ionic Hair Dryer (premium technology)
The Ionic Hair Dryer is the technological gem of your back-to-school hair routine.
Compact, ultra-light and powerful, it features cutting-edge anti-static ionic technology that significantly reduces frizz while delivering mirror-like shine. Supplied with three interchangeable magnetic attachments, including a wide diffuser that is essential for curly hair, it ensures gentle drying that preserves the curl's natural shape, distributes heat evenly and cuts drying time in half.
A perfect back-to-school for your hair!

Which brush should you use to detangle curly hair without breaking it?
A detangling brush designed to glide over the fiber, to be used on damp hair loaded with conditioner or treatment. The JIA Paris Detangling Brush removes knots without pulling or breakage.
Why use a microfibre towel rather than a cotton one?
Cotton rubs the fiber, lifts the cuticles and creates frizz. Microfiber absorbs water by capillary action, without friction: drying is faster and curls stay defined, with no breakage.
How do you dry curly hair without frizz?
Opt for an ionic hair dryer fitted with a diffuser: the ions reduce static electricity and therefore frizz, while the diffuser spreads the air without disrupting the curls. Dry at a moderate temperature.
How do you refresh your curls between washes?
A mister filled with water (optionally with a little leave-in added) lets you lightly re-dampen curls in the morning before reactivating the definition, without having to rewash your hair.
