6 HAIR CARE TIPS FOR CURLY HAIR

Now that you know about some of our best hair care and styling products to use on curly hair, it’s time to incorporate the following tips into your curly hair routine.

Curly Hair Care Tip #1: Start at the bottom when combing your hair

When you comb your curly hair, it’s best to start at the bottom because this will help you gently detangle your curls.

Curly Hair Care Tip #2: Get regular trims

Say hello to your stylist and schedule regular trims to get rid of any ragged ends. Just remember, cutting curly hair is a different skill than cutting curly hair, so it’s often best to look for a stylist who specializes in curls.

Curly Hair Care Tip #3: Skip out on using a brush

When you have curls, it’s best to use a comb instead of a brush, since a brush can disrupt your curl pattern and ruin the delicate spiral of your coveted look.

Curly Hair Care Tip #4: Blow-dry your hair with a diffuser

You know that large round attachment that came with your blow-dryer? That’s a diffuser—the thing we mentioned using earlier. Diffusers are fab for curly hair because they can help to minimize the look of frizzy hair and even out your curl pattern for a bouncy finish.

Curly Hair Care Tip #5: Make conditioner be your BFF

As we said, curls can be dry—so make sure to condition after you shampoo. Consider swapping your regular conditioner for a deep conditioner every now and then to give your curls some extra TLC. Take your pick from the L’Oréal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Rapid Reviver Deep Conditioner, L’Oréal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil Rapid Reviver Deep Conditioner, or L’Oréal Paris Elvive Color Vibrancy Rapid Reviver Deep Conditioner.

Curly Hair Care Tip #6: Air dry your hair

For times when you don’t want to blow-dry your hair, apply a little hair mousse or hair cream to wet strands and embrace your natural texture for a look that will make everyone envious. Go ahead and flaunt your curly hair proudly!
