Naturally curly hair is prone to dryness and requires moisture to bring back its natural beauty
, luster, and healthy state. This article will tell you some tips for caring your natural curly hair.
Always use products that are made especially for curly hair. Opt for shampoo and conditioner containing ingredients that help moisturize your hair.
Never brush your hair and avoid using a blow dryer
Tangled curly hair can be managed using a wide toothed comb or your fingers.
Occasionally use a diffuser and try to air dry your hair as often as possible
Avoid straightening your hair too often as well as products like silicones that cause build-up
Use a wide-tooth comb for detangling and a Denman brush to define the curls.
Conditioning is one of the most significant steps in your hair care regime. Use conditioner to cleanse your hair. Always use a leave-in conditioner. Usually deep conditioning is recommended once a week.
First rinse out the shampoo of your hair completely. Take a generous amount of conditioner into the palm of your hands. Begin at the middle of your hair (not at the roots) and work your way down to the ends. Comb conditioner completely through the hair. As the hairs ends are the most porous and dry, apply an extra helping of conditioner to those parts. Sit under the dryer for 15-25 minutes and allow the conditioner to penetrate. Rinse well. Do not wash your hair daily.
You can also add an extra helping of your favorite natural oil (coconut, sweet almond, or jojoba) to your conditioner.
If you have thicker hair, then do not rinse out completely. Leave a small film of conditioner in your hair.
To protect the curly hair from environmental elements, apply a daily leave in treatment. This helps prevent the hair from drying out from season to season.
Caring for curly hair also includes the protection of a good diet. Always eat right and add an accurate amount of proteins in your diet.
