Tips for Controlling Curly Hair
Curly hair tends to be dry, so conditioning is a must – every time you wash. As for washing, try not to do it every day. If you shower everyday and cannot avoid getting your hair wet, then try using a very gentle shampoo every other day and use a hydrating conditioner everyday, yes, even when you do not shampoo.
Use a wide tooth comb as much as possible, since brushes can be very damaging to the ends, especially when you encounter tangles.
If it is really curly and you live in humid conditions, a leave-in conditioning treatment and smoothing gel may be good ideas.
If you have the time and you can, let your hair dry naturally. Naturally, if it is the dead of winter and freezing outside you might need to use the blow dryer – if you do, using a diffuser will keep your curls from getting beat up from the force of the dryer’s air.
You can revive your curly hair styles at any time by spritzing the curls lightly with water or any of the shine sprays on the market designed for curly hair.
