When you have been struggling with frizz, burying your own nature in a flat iron, or wondering why you can feel like a puffball the minute you go outside, we have good news for you: the problem is not with your hair, it’s your routine!
Taking care of curly hair in a humid and demanding climate can not be managed by a random shampoo. It requires a method. In the following post, we will break down the complete hair care routine using hair care products that actually respect your waves, coils, and spirals.
The Foundation: Cleanse Without Crunch
The biggest mistake that the majority of curlies commit is that they apply harsh sulfates, which deprive them of natural oils. Curly hair is drier by nature, so you must use a cleanser that adds and subtracts.
- The Daily Reset
Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo that contains ingredients such as baobab protein and seaweed extract. This helps preserve the protein-moisture balance initially.
- The Scalp Reset
Use a clarifying shampoo or a rinse of ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) once or twice a month to get rid of product residue and hard water minerals. Bouncy roots are the secret of a clean scalp!
The Moisture Phase: Condition and Detangle
Conditioner is your friend in the world of curls. This is something that should never be omitted in a routine.
- Rinse Out vs Deep Conditioning
A multipurpose conditioner is magic with your everyday wash. Put it on wet hair and loosen up with your fingers or wide tooth comb. When it is particularly dry or when your hair is damaged with chemicals, replace your standard conditioner with a deep-treating moisture mask at least once a week.
High-quality hair care products during this stage mean that your cuticles remain flat and hydrated, which is the ultimate frizz defense.
The Magic Step: Style of Sopping Wet Hair
It is here that the transformation occurs. You have to use your stylers when the hair is fresh and dripping wet to lock it in.
- Prime
Use a Leave-In Conditioner or Curl Cream. This gives the “juice” that your curls require to be soft.
- Define
Coat a gel on top of your cream. Volume Gel would be a good choice in case you want natural movement. You can rely on a Hard Hold Gel when you need your style to last a 3-day work week.
- Boost
Lightweight mousse will give fine hair or anyone who needs an extra “oomph” without the weight.
Drying and Protection
Do not think of filling up your hair with an ordinary terry cloth towel, unless you want to visit Frizz-ville. Instead, plop your hair with microfiber turban towel. After it is dry, you can break the cast (the crunchy layer) using drops of hair oil to show soft, touchable curls.
