Why do curls need individual care?
Curls vary in density, strand thickness, porosity and dryness. No single routine works for everyone. Consider the curl pattern as well as the needs of your scalp.
A practical curly-hair routine
Start with suitable shampoo and conditioner. How you apply styling products and dry your hair can affect the final curl shape.
- Choose shampoo according to scalp needs.
- Use conditioner after washing to ease detangling.
- Gently detangle damp hair with appropriate tools.
- Adjust styling product amount to length and thickness.
- Air-dry gently or use a diffuser with moderate heat.
How can you reduce frizz?
Frizz can result from friction, humidity, rough detangling and dry lengths. Conditioner, a suitable leave-in product and gentle styling may help, but too much product can weigh curls down.
