This hair journey isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. Caring for curly hair can be challenging, but with the right tips, you can have beautifully healthy curls. So, whether you have for ringlets, waves, or coils, here are some tips to help you manage your hair.



Tips for caring for curly hair

1. Use a sulfate-free shampoo

Sulfates are harsh detergents that can strip your hair of its natural oils, and nobody wants that. A sulfate-free shampoo will cleanse your hair without causing damage. Dry and frizzy hair will be a thing of the past.

2. Condition regularly

Curly hair is drier than straight hair, so we implore you condition it regularly. A weekly rendezvous with a deep conditioner will go a long way to keeping your hair strong and moisturized.

3. Avoid heat styling

Heat styling damage curls so try to keep usage to a minimum.. But if you must use heat, make sure to use a heat protectant spray to minimize damage.

4. Use a diffuser

A diffuser helps distribute heat evenly, while preventing unsightly frizz. Make sure no blow-drying session is without this nifty little number. Be sure to hold the diffuser close to your head. Avoid rough handling as this can cause tangles.

5. Plop your hair

This sassy sounding technique helps reduce frizz while encouraging definition in your curls. To plop your hair, wrap a t-shirt or microfiber towel around your head, with the ends at the top of your head. This will help to absorb excess moisture and create a defined curl pattern. Ploppastic!

6. Avoid brushing

Last we heard, frizzy and breakage prone hair aren’t trending so best you continue to avoid brushing hair. Simply use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently work through the knots. Detangling made easy.

7. Use a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to dry your hair

Regular towels can be rough on curly hair, causing frizz and tangles. Instead, use a microfiber towel or repurpose an old t-shirt to gently pat your hair dry.

8. Sleep on a silk pillowcase

Cotton pillowcases can absorb the moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and frizzy (never a good look). Sleeping with a silk pillowcase will help keep your hair hydrated and tangle-free.
