Hair care tips for Curly Hair

This holiday season the luxurious curls are back! Curly hair tends be dryer, more brittle and prone to frizzing, so it requires more care than straight hair. No matter if you are born with it or you go for a perm, there are some hair care tips I want to share with you.

Limit shampooing your hair to less than 3 times a week, shampoo can take away the natural oils from your hair resulting in dryness.

Don't forget conditioning every time after you shampoo to re-moisturize your hair.

Use a leave-in conditioner or conditioner sealer daily or every other day.

Use a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically geared towards curly hair or chemically-damaged hair if you had a perm.

To detangle your hair, have your hair moist and conditioned in the shower(which will prevent breakage), use your fingers to begin the untangling then finish with a wide toothed comb starting from the end going up finishing at the root of the hair. Then rinse with water and try to retain half of the conditioner in your hair. If you try to detangle your hair when it's dry, you will cause it to frizz.

Let your hair air-dry to reduce frizzing, avoid brushing and using a towel to dry your hair. If you need to dry your hair quickly, blot with a towel but without rubbing.

Avoid using narrow toothed combs and brushes, use wide-toothed combs which cause less breakage and frizzing.

Deep condition your hair using hair mask at least once a month to re-moisturize your scalp and hair.

Use a small amount of styling product with moisturizing ingredients to keep your hair from frizzing when your hair is still slightly moist and then gently style with your finger.
