Condition yourself to condition!
Curly hair has a tendency to become dry. Following these tips and natural treatments can make your hair free from dry and frizzies.
In fact, a lot of curly-haired girls have found that a higher ratio of conditioning to shampooing is more beneficial for their curls. Some choose to shampoo on certain days of the week while conditioning daily while others have eschewed shampoo altogether and are using a conditioner-only hair care routine. Whatever you choose to do, it’s true that curly hair needs a lot of moisture, as it is drier than straight hair. Make it a habit to condition your hair as often as possible, if not daily!
Leave-in conditioners are great for curly-haired girls because these products work all day to enhance curl shape, restore moisture to the hair, and reduce frizzies. Beautiful Curls’ Leave-In Conditioner for Wavy to Curly Hair is a lightweight formula that is fortified with shea butter and coconut oil, both of which work in tandem to condition hair inside and out. Simply smooth a generous amount onto wet hair and you’re good to go!
Treat your hair right!
Taking care of curly hair is trickier than simply managing straight hair, but with enough knowledge and patience, your curly hair will be your crowning glory! Here are a few tips on how to take care of your curly hair on a day-to-day basis:
If you have tightly curled hair, combing your hair is a no-no, as this will break the curls and make your hair poof up. If you need to untangle a few sections, just use your fingers. If you have wavy hair, brushing your hair out is still okay, as long as you opt for a wide-toothed comb, which causes less breakage and frizziness.
Don’t rub your hair back and forth with your towel when you’re drying it out. This will cause your already brittle curly hair to break while also increasing static, which in turn will cause frizz. Simply blot out your hair, comb out with your fingers if you need to, and if you’re in a hurry, use a blow drier that’s set to a low or a medium heat and air with a diffuser attached. Air drying is still the best option.
Use leave-in products when your hair is still wet, as this will lock in moisture and help you achieve thick, lovely curls. After application, you can briefly scrunch up your hair in a towel or with paper towels to give a more natural look when your hair is dry.
You can also take care of your hair when it’s bed time. Cover your hair with a cap or slip on a silk pillow as these pillows are smooth and can able to reduce static.
Natural Care for Naturally Curly hair
To add shine into your curls and healthy locks, you can apply mayonnaise on your hair. Simply apply some mayonnaise and take a wide tooth comb. Now, comb the mayonnaise through your hair and wrap your head with a plastic cap. The heat of your head will help mayonnaise to melt and work the right way. Finally wash your hair with a shampoo designed for your hair type. Once a week is the right option to have this extra pampering treatment.
Green tea treatment helps to stimulate the healthy growth of your hair. For those who have problems like hair thinning and hair loss, this is the right choice for them to produce long, thick and luxurious hair. Take 2 tbs fresh green teat(strong), 1 tbs mustard powder, and 1 egg yolk, now mix them very well. Pour the mixer on your hair and wrap your head with a cap.
You may feel some extra warm on your head, as mustard powder stimulates the blood circulation. Leave it for 15-20 minutes and rinse off your hair first, then wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner as well. For normal people once a week is perfect and for having hair thinning and hair falling issue, 3-4 times a week is the best option to choose.
