Those with a head full of curls often want straight hair that is easier to tame. But it is not necessary! The proper care and the correct styling tricks will make you able to control your wild waves and turn your brittle and frizzy hair into soft, silky curls. Find out how to treat your curly hair with a few simple tricks.
The right treatment for curly hair starts already from drying. Curly hairs tend to become dry and often need treatment. The curls do not tightly surround the head as occurs with straight hair and, as a consequence, have limited contact with the conditioning sebum of the scalp. The natural circles of curly hair contribute to the creation of a less regular dandruff layer which makes them hypersensitive to harmful influences. Precisely for this reason the curly hair should be treated gently when they are still wet. Wrap them with the towel by pressing it gently so that it absorbs the water after washing without ever drying them with excessive force. A comb with wide teeth is recommended to remove the nodes of the curls. Brushing them instead, the locks would separate too much making your hair look bristly and swollen.
Air drying is ideal for curly hair care
When it comes to hair care, curls adore rich nutrition. It is virtually impossible to moisturize curly hair too much. Shampoos and rinses with natural lipids such as Shea butter, Jojoba oil or Macadamia oil, cover every single hair of a shimmering transparent film. This ensures that the structure of your hair is maintained. Styling products should also be specially designed for curly hair, leaving the elastic curls without drying or ruining the hair.
