We always say how important it is that each type of skin and hair adapt the care to its characteristics to achieve the best results. In this case we will have to see what are the tricks to care for curly hair.
El curly hair is very pretty hair type, with a lot of body, volume and texture. It is undoubtedly a type of hair that will need specific products to be able to tame the curls and keep them always hydrated. Let's see what are the best care for this type of hair.
Analyze the type of hair you have
In curly hair we find that some people have fine hair, others of medium thickness and others thick hair. In addition, the hair can be wavy, with a smooth wave, it can have a open curl or one that is in the shape of a spiral, more closed. Depending on the type of hair you can perform some care or others. In addition, curly hair tends to be dry, but in many cases we may have oily roots, so the shampoo will have to be for oily hair as well.
Apply your shampoo carefully
We always say that shampoo should be applied when needed and on the scalp area, which is where it really gets messy. In this sense, we will have to let it drain a little through the ends but without actually rubbing or washing the ends. We must remember that curly hair is drier due to its texture and can become very dry, so if we apply a lot of shampoo in the area of the ends we will notice it rough and dry.
Get a good conditioner
In curly hair the conditioner and masks are the key to ensure that the curl remains natural and well marked. If the hair is very dry, the hair becomes frizzy and the natural wave is lost. You have to avoid that frizz and for that we have to keep the hair well hydrated. A good idea is to use a mask but also use a leave-in conditioner to achieve a better finish after the shower. At present, natural curls are worn, avoiding foams and other styling products that give it a very rigid touch.
Use a good comb
Curl hair needs specific combs with large paddle and spikes that help to untangle but without breaking the curl. Any brush that frizzes or breaks the curls should be avoided. Those with wide and separated spines are better with materials such as wood, with which frizz is avoided. In addition, the hair should be combed when it is wet, using the fingers afterwards to shape it, avoiding using the brush on dry hair, as it would frizz.
Oil mask
If you want your curls to come back to life and feel silky and soft, use natural oils. Coconut oil is one of the most recommended for dry hair. You can only use it on the ends if the roots are oily. Apply the oil and leave it on for at least half an hour before washing your hair as usual. This is an oil that is lighter than others and that gives the hair softness and shine, something that is very necessary in curly hair. Remember that at cold temperatures this oil solidifies, but you can heat it beforehand with your hands or in a water bath.
