To be able to show off your curly hair without a problem and always care, nothing like following these steps:
Don't overdo it with washes. In general, curly hair tends to be dry, so it is essential not to over wash it. Using too much shampoo opens the cuticles and removes the natural oil that already has the hair. It will dry your curls even more. The less you wash your hair, the better, that is, 1-2 times a week.
Cleanse the scalp. Despite what was pointed out in the first point, washing curly hair is necessary for healthy hair growth, as it gets rid of the accumulation of oils, dirt, and dust. So when you shampoo your hair, focus on adequately rubbing and cleansing the scalp with your fingertips.
Know the ingredients of the products you use. The key is to use products specifically made for curly hair, which are also sulfate and alcohol-free as these types of ingredients dry out your hair, so you should avoid them at all costs.
It is essential to replenish the moisture in your curls. Some ways to achieve this will be to use a conditioner every time you wash your hair and perform oil treatments and apply masks like one that you make at home with a little coconut oil, which you must leave for five minutes and then remove hair with lukewarm water.
When you get out of the shower, gently pat your hair dry with a cotton towel and gently squeeze out any excess water. Don't scrub with a rough towel, as this can cause the cuticles to split open and the hair to frizz.
You also have to let the air dry your hair for best results. The heat of the blow dryer on your hair can cause the curls to suffer too much, and in the long run, they look much drier than usual. It is better to let the hair air dry, and also, why not apply a curl activator cream or apply some argan oil.
Use the diffuser of the dryer. When you use the blow dryer to dry curly hair, you better do it using the diffuser. Stand with your head upside down and hold the diffuser always pointing towards your scalp; do not move it too much because all the escaping wind can cause the hair to shrink.
Never comb curls with a brush. The idea is to use a wide-tooth comb to style curly hair before showering or gently comb with your fingers after showering. Remember that wet hair is more prone to breakage, so you have to be very patient and careful when combing it.
Avoid hairspray and mousse. Not only can they cause your curls to break, but these two products also contain the most alcohol. Choose hairstyles that are easy!
There you have it, the ultimate curly hair guide!
