Secondly, now you have to find simple ways that make your curls last a week so that you don’t have to repeat the extensive post-wash routine twice a week. To melt away all your worries and ensure that the summer of 2025 is your best curly girl’s summer yet, Team Wedding Affair has listed the top 6 life-saving curly hair maintenance tips below!
Microfiber Towels
Beginning with the basics, focus on your towels. The key to frizz-free and unruly curly hair is to keep them hydrated and when you use those terrycloth towels, they instantly do the opposite. The microfiber ones are softer, more absorbent and have less drying time. The key is to keep your hair wrapped in it until it is semi-dried to ensure that all the excess water has been absorbed.
Silk is Your Bestfriend
Girls, at night time, follow these two steps to ensure that you wake up with detangled curls. Firstly, make a pineapple bun and secure it with a silk hair tie. Then, layer it with a silk bonnet and needless to say, sleep on a silk pillowcase. If you’ve been wondering why silk, well it reduces the amount of friction your hair faces when you toss and turn in your sleep and thus, there are lesser chances of your curls getting flat, losing their volume and becoming an unsolvable tangled mess.
Diffuse the Diffuser Tension
While air drying your hair might be the best road to curls, it can’t be done every time. But when you are using a diffuser, make sure you use it at medium-high heat and dry your hair till the roots. We suggest following two diffusing methods, first begin with hover diffusing i.e. keeping your diffuser at length from your hair, just hovering it above your roots and lengths. When the roots are dried, use the pixie diffusing method where you place your diffuser below your length in an upward position, this will give you stronger and firmer curls.

Oiling is the Key
Even celebrities such as Taapsee Pannu and Sanya Malhotra recommend this. Using a lightweight oil can go a long way in retaining moisture, preventing breakage and making your locks look more luscious than ever.
Layering VS Cocktails
Every curly hair girl uses an array of products while styling her hair. However, what makes the difference here is whether you layer them or make a cocktail with them. Layering products involves applying one after the other, whereas in cocktails you mix two products together to get stronger results. The challenge here is in finding out the perfect ingredients that mix well together. Oil with serum, curl cream and gel, mousse and leave-in conditioner, you gotta try it all out to find out what works best for you the best.
Combing the Curls
Always and always wide tooth combs to comb your curls. These retain the volume and shape of your curls without separating them. Also, section your hair before brushing and follow the bottom-up direction by first brushing your ends and then the roots. This helps in reducing breakage and makes the process smoother.
