You’ve got gorgeous curls but you don’t know what to do with them? You’re at the right place. I’m going to let you in one some of my tips and tricks on how to maintain beautiful, frizz-free curls.
Washing:
Tips: Shampooing is great but curls need moisture. Shampoo every other day but use conditioner everyday to keep those curls moisturized.
Tricks: Before I get out of the shower, I like to put a dime-sized amount of conditioner on the ends of my hair and leave it in. This makes my hair soft and easy to comb through.
Brushing vs Combing
Tips: I usually brush my hair before I shower and comb it out after I shower. Brushing wet hair is generally not good anyways but it also pulls on your hair making your curls less bouncy.
Tricks: After showering, I use my fingers to comb through my hair and detangle. Then use a wide-toothed comb to comb out any tangles that are left. After, I scrunch my hair and get it all loosened up.
Styling:
Tips: Don’t play with your curls once they are dry, it causes your hair to frizz and curls to lose its perfect shape.
Tricks:
I never really part my hair, I usually let my hair naturally do what it wants as it air dries. Curls are best when they are naturally air-dried so don’t waste your time with blow dryers!
When I am using my curl boosting mousse, I scrunch it in. Do not rub it in!
