Maintaining your Curls

Here are a few tips that can make you glad that you have a set of curly hair. Following them religiously arms you with the means to manage and maintain a most breathtaking set of curly hair that you can be proud of.

  • Forget about brushing your hair 100 times every night. Don’t brush. Curly hair and hairbrush are not compatible. It’s fatal for your curly hair. Use a wide-toothed comb instead of a hair brush that can easily damage curly hair, whether dry or wet. Untangling your hair curls with the first comb or brush you see is never a good idea. Separating dry curls often result in more frizzes. After getting that curly hair cut done well to get rid of split ends, the last you want is to brig them back. Better to just use your fingers working your way from your hair ends to the top. Should this prove difficult, wet your hair and apply conditioner to control tangled unruly ends.
  • Apply styling products to your hair while still soaking wet. But don’t apply directly. Emulsify them by rubbing an amount between your hands then rake them over your hair with your fingers. This aids in sealing the natural oils in the hair for a longer period while allowing you to manage your curls with more ease.
  • Use less shampoo whenever you can. A conditioner rinse can cleanse your hair just as well and does a better job at it without distressing their natural oils. Otherwise, baby shampoos will do and you can dilute their thick goo to alleviate the drying effect of their sulfate or silicone formulation. Freeing yourself from shampoos will at first make your hair feel sticky and unruly. It will take around 3-4 weeks before they get into shape without depending from shampoos.
  • Unless you plan to sport long flowing hair, be sure to take a regular curly hair cut from your favorite hair salon every 2 to 3 months or as frequent as you need to maintain your desired length and hair mass. Splits will almost always develop at the ends ad a good hair cut guarantees to get rid of them all the time.
