Anyone with curly hair knows that caring for them can be a hassle. When it comes to different types of hair texture, curly hair is more delicate than straight hair; especially the tighter the curls. Giving extra love and maintaining a proper hair care regimen will help keep your curls healthy. It’s important to know how to do right with your hair so it continues to stay fabulous.
Continue to read on about the most common curly hair mistakes and how to avoid them.
Over Cleansing Your Hair
Washing your hair on a day to day basis does more harm than good and is considered a huge no no. By shampooing daily, this causes the hair to dry out. Texture hair needs natural oils to be healthy. Hairstylists suggest that one should wash their hair about once or twice a week; the other days, dry shampoo is your best friend.
Skipping Conditioner
Curly hair can become easily damaged due to being dry, dull and frizzy. With curls, you need to have hydration, shine and definition. Using products that include moisturizing, coconut oil and argan oil are crucial.
Over-Doing The Heat
Styling products are another thing that can easily damage textured hair. Hair Stylists recommend letting your hair air-dry whenever possible to help with curls. Also try lowering the temperature on your hot tools; this will give sleek, smoother and less damage hair results.
Using A Terry-Cloth Towel
Terry- cloth towels have tiny nubs that fluff up your hair cuticles; which causes frizz. They also absorb too much of the water that then causes your hair to tangle. Using towels such our It’s A Wrap by Rayson treatment towels will help eliminate frizz or tangles.
Touching Your Hair Too Much
Touching your curly hair will cause the breaking of your curl pattern; which will then lead to frizz.
Going Unprotected In The Sun & Surf
This goes for all hair types and textures. However the combo of the sun, sand, and salt water can leave your curls super dry with nasty tangles. Apply deep conditioner before the beach day to protect your strands.
THE MOST COMMON: Skipping Hair Appointments
Lacking of trimming will cause breakage. If you continue to let your split ends grow, they will continue to fray and make your hair look frazzled and lackluster. Getting your hair trimmed during the appropriate times will help your curls stay bouncy and healthy.
