How to Care for Your Curly Hair
Curly hair tends to be more fragile than naturally straight hair. Have you spent time and energy trying to coerce your ringlets and waves into stick-straight strands? Curly girls frequently go to great lengths to smooth and straighten their hair, while those born with pin-straight locks spend a lot of money trying to get those gorgeous curls. Caring for your curly hair will bring out the best in it; just keep in mind a few basics:
- Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! The single biggest problem with curly hair is its tendency to be dry. Find a good moisturizing conditioner that won’t flatten out your curls. Try to avoid anything which strips curly hair. Try something that smells yummy, but is extra hydrating. However if you're hair looks dull and dry you may be over-moisturizing it.
- Wash hair only every other day -- condition every day. Hop into the shower, rinse your hair out with warm water and apply conditioner throughout, but try to avoid the roots; Comb your hair out, parting it as you go. Try a semi-cold rinse, that seals the hair cuticle, making it extra shiny. Let your hair drip after your shower is done, but do not touch.
- A good haircut is vital to maximizing curl. A cut with long layers will allow curls to fall nicely without creating too much bulk. Get a trim every 8-10 weeks to keep your hair looking its best.
- Experiment with hair products. Start with a little; too much product can leave hair feeling stiff or greasy.
- When you do blow dry your hair, use a diffuser.
