Here are some tips and tricks for curly hair!

Refreshing Curly Hair

  • Skip the shampoo and instead mix equal parts leave-in conditioner and water in a spray bottle.
  • Spritz the conditioner mixture throughout the hair layers to add extra moisture.
  • Scrunch the hair to revive the curl pattern and avoid touching it until 80% dry.
  • Once 80% dry, scrunch the hair again to release the curl pattern for soft, hydrated locks.

Deep Conditioning (Every 2-3 Weeks)

  • Use a good deep conditioning treatment to restore moisture and enhance the spring in your curl pattern.

Tips to Avoid Frizz in Humidity

  • Adapt to the environment by layering products and adding extra steps when needed.
  • Experiment with different products like the Curly Hair Custard to combat frizz and maintain defined curls.

Bedtime Tips - Clipping or Plopping

  • Try clipping your hair on top of your head or plopping with a cotton t-shirt to reduce friction and maintain the curl pattern overnight.

Tips for Managing Hair Breakage

  • Shampoo every other day to keep hair clean but not dried out.
  • Use dry shampoo on Day 2 for volume and lift at the roots.
  • Blow dry hair upside down for additional volume and style as usual.
