The difference between fighting your curls and loving them lies within your hair care routine. Let's be honest, curly hair is different from other hair textures.
It requires more hydration, less washing, and a lot more TLC than straighter hair types. But curly hair doesn't have to be hard work. Follow these tips to help you find the best curls of your life.
Avoid shampoos with chemicals like sulphates and paragons that strip the hair of its natural oils. Curly hair tends to dry more easily so it’s important not to over-shampoo, or you'll lose your nature moisture. You can also try a pre-shampoo treatment, which helps in detangling and removing the frizz from your hair.
Apply a hair mask or a conditioning oil to your dry hair by separating out sections of hair. Try wearing a shower cap or a towel while you have the mask on to trap some heat and open up the cuticle. This ensures that the conditioner penetrates your hair well.
The high temperature from heat styling tools can remove the natural texture of your curls, making them dull and lifeless. Limit the use of heat styling and use a good heat protectant spray whenever you can't avoid it. Use moderate heat and a diffuser to protect your naturally beautiful curls.
Use a wide-toothed comb to remove the tangles in your curly hair. Comb from bottom to up to remove the knots if any. Each curl can be considered as a potential breaking point, handling gently is the way to go. A hairbrush can mess with your natural hair texture and can cause damage to your hair.
