Taking care of curly hair can be quite a challenge but the beautiful ringlets are worth the effort. Curly hair needs more effort and product as their texture is very different. If not properly cared for, they can end up becoming a frizzy mess or flat dead strands.

Curls need extensive care and moisture. The technique to maintain them can be quite complicated. So, given below are some important tips that can make your task of maintaining curly hair easier.

  1. Conditioner is your best friend

Curly hair inherently lacks humidity. They can get dry if not given proper moisturizer. And dryness results in frizz and tangles. So, it is very important to invest in a good conditioner that can provide proper hydration to your hair. Furthermore, you can also do a deep condition routine once a week to have healthy and bouncy curls.

  1. Use proper stylers

Many curl styling products are available in the market. Curl creams are one of the most widely used and also the most effective curly hair product on the market. Curl creams help in getting more defined curls and also in making sure that they maintain their shine and pattern for a longer period.

  1. Don’t forget the leave-in

Leave-in conditioner is also an important part of the post-wash routine for curly-haired girls. It helps in proving extra hydration and nourishment to the hair. A Leave-in conditioner is a must-have in every girl’s curly hair routine.

  1. Use gels for long-lasting hold

Gels help in holding the curls for a long period of time. Using gel to scrunch your hair is a good way to make sure that your curls are more defined and have more volume. Gel also locks in the moisture and helps in keeping your hair hydrated.

  1. Take care of your curls while sleeping

So not sleep on cotton pillowcases. They make your hair frizzy and ruin the curl pattern. Rather, use a silk or satin pillowcase and use a satin bonnet to keep your curls protected and in their proper shape. You can also use satin rubber bands to tie up your hair.

  1. Clarify Regularly to avoid buildup

When you use so many products to maintain your curls then it is quite obvious that the product buildup will happen which will ultimately weigh down your curls. To remove/ avoid this, try clarifying your hair once every two weeks.

You can easily clarify your hair using a sulfate shampoo or by mixing some apple cider vinegar in bentonite clay and leaving it for 10-15 mins. Make sure to deep condition your hair after this.

  1. Say no to normal towel

The normal towel which people regularly use is made up of rough fibers. Drying your hair with this can cause breakage to your hair. It also increases the frizz in curly hair.

Instead, use a microfiber towel or a cotton t-shirt to dry your hair. This will cause less breakage and frizz.

  1. Always use a wide-tooth comb

Never try to detangle curly hair with a fine-tooth comb. It’ll do nothing except cause massive hair fall and in the end, will cause your scalp to hurt. Try using a wide-tooth comb only when your hair is wet or you have oil in them. Don’t detangle dry curls. You’ll ruin the curl pattern and cause a lot of breakages.

 

Thus, taking care of curly hair is a big task but in the end, it will result in a beautiful bouncy mane. Your hair can elevate any outfit if you give them proper care. They are an accessory that can be used and tied in different ways.

Curly hair has a personality and is the most beautiful of all hair types. They just need proper care and attention to look their best.

So, ditch the straightener and rock those gorgeous ringlets!
