If you think taking care of straight hair is hard, then you should try
taking care of curly hair. Because curly hair is more prone to
dryness, brittleness and frizzing, care for curly hair is definitely
more complicated. There are so many things that you should do to
prevent it from frizzing up on you especially when the weather is humid.
- You should not shampoo your hair for more than two times
weekly. The hair has natural oils that could be stripped off by
frequent shampooing.
- Be sure to use a conditioner each time you shampoo to replace the oils eliminated by the shampoo's harsh ingredients.
- To
lock in your hair's moisture daily, use a conditioner that could be
left on your hair without your having to rinse it off. There are now
many leave-on conditioner products in the market that you could use.
- There
are also other curly hair care products that include shampoos and
conditioners that you could use instead of ordinary ones.
- Always use wide-toothed combs to care for your curly hair.
- Untangle
your hair only when it is wet and sleek with conditioner. Start at the
ends and work your way to the top by using your fingers. Then, you can
finish untangling with a wide-toothed comb. After untangling your
hair, rinse it off, making sure that there is still an amount of
conditioner left in your hair.
- To prevent frizzing, never brush
or rub your hair with a towel for it to dry. It is best if you will
let your hair dry naturally or else, blot it with a towel.
- Apply
a curly hair care product that has an ingredient that moisturizes your
hair when it is still moist. You can style your curly hair this way by
applying the product section per section.
- Taking care of your
curly hair by deep conditioning once or twice a month is a way to
provide more moisture to your hair and scalp.
- You should
prevent yourself from touching your hair or playing with it much too
often, as this causes undue friction. Too much friction on your hair
can result in it becoming very tangled or frizzed up.
