Nikola Valenti: The Curly Hair Guide
Taking care of naturally curly or textured hair can be challenging. Our hair’s natural oils have to travel down all our bends and curves, making it more difficult to keep curly hair moisturized than straight hair. However, with the right washing, conditioning, and styling tips, your curly hair can flourish.
Nourish it with Conditioner
Natural curly hair often tends to be dry because the oils produced by your scalp struggle to reach the ends of your strands, due to the kinks and curls. Keep it moisturized with a curl-specific conditioner like Hask Coconut milk and organic honey Conditioner. Its formula defines curls to make them feel softer and smoother
Protect with a Serum
Equally, if you’re prone to frizz, a nourishing serum is your friend. Try applying Color Vitacomplex Surface Hair Health Art Curls Serum to damp or dry hair to help tame frizz and fly-aways for a shinier, more manageable style
Go easy on the drying
After you wash your hair, don’t towel-dry it, as that will only cause your hair to frizz. Instead, tilt your head forward and squeeze upwards gently to get rid of the excess water
Use your diffuser
A big part of curly hair care is learning to dry it gently and minimally. When you blow-dry your hair, use a diffuser (which reduces frizz by distributing the heat evenly) – but don’t over-dry: just dry out the majority of the water and then leave the rest to dry naturally
Minimize brushing
It might go against everything your mum taught you, but don’t brush your hair. Brushing is too aggressive for curly hair – it will pull out the natural curl and you’ll lose definition and provoke frizz. If you must unpick a tangle, do it when your hair is wet (avoid combing your hair when it's dry) using a wide-toothed comb, start at the ends of the hair and work your way up to avoid breakage.
Use styling products on wet hair
Apply products while your hair is still wet. This will help lock in the moisture and keep your curls thick and lustrous. 2chic® Ultra-Luxurious Soothing Hair Mask is infused with nutrients, vitamins, and Buriti oil to help lock in that moisture, and only takes five minutes to get to work. Perfect for a mid-week treat for your curls. It intensely nourishes hair that is visibly smooth and beautifully bouncy.
