8 Expert Tips For Curly Natural Hair

Naturally curly hair is typically very dry and prone to breakage, so you need to use a leave-in conditioner as well as a rinse-out conditioner. Try Fructis Curl Nourish Conditioner and Butter Cream, which contain coconut, jojoba, and macadamia oils to lock in moisture.

It’s best to shampoo your hair no more than once a week. When you need to condition, just rinse your hair with water and apply your conditioner—this way you won’t dry out your scalp with too much cleansing.

If you used to have relaxed hair, styling products like mousses, gels, or sprays should be kept to a minimum to avoid weigh down or a greasy scalp.

If you want to maximize your curls without using heat, create two-strand twists on wet hair and let it dry into gorgeous, healthy curls. Alternatively, you can use rollers to create lovely, thick waves.

Keep your naturally curly hair moisturized all day long by applying a small amount of oil. You can try different hair oils like olive oil–extra virgin of course!

Just as chemical relaxing permanently damages your hair, heat from straightening or curling irons dries out natural curls and causes damage over time. Embrace your natural curls and experiment with hairstyles instead!

Finally, the best way to care for your hair is to care for your body in general, particularly by eating healthy and staying hydrated. Stocking up on protein-rich fish, vegetables, and eggs will not only increase your hair health but also stimulate growth too!
