Curly Hair
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
