If you need some assistance maintaining the shiny glow of
your curly ques, here are some tips:
Using the right hair cutting technique is extremely
important when cutting curly hair. It's important to cut the
hair in a way that creates the right amount of volume without
the frizzies. It is also very important to go to the right salon
and to a stylist who is experienced in working with curly hair.
To create a sassy hairstyle, simply wash hair and towel dry or
use a diffuser. Once the hair is almost dry use a
moisturizing product that is not too heavy and run
fingers through hair to add more volume. Let hair air dry and
style as desired with your fingers. If you use a brush or comb
you may add too much frizz.
Give your curls a hot oil treatment every 2-3 weeks to add
moisture to the hair. It is especially necessary to do this
during the colder months where hair can become dry and brittle.
Counter it with a hot oil treatment. The heat opens up the inner
cortex and penetrates the hair shaft. You can find this product
at your local drug store. A good hot oil treatment is Alberto
VO5 Hot oil treatment. Each tube is 14 ml. It claims that if
used regularly, it will lead to 55% stronger hair.
Get regular trims every 8 weeks to rid your curls of
unsightly, stringy ends. Ensure that you visit a stylist that
knows how to cut and style curly hair.
Add a touch of essential oils like avocado, coconut,
jojoba or olive oil to your hair. This can be a great
conditioning regimen to do prior to shampooing the hair. Place
any of the above mentioned oils into the hair and place the hair
in a bun for about 20 minutes. You can even wrap your hair under
a plastic cap covered by a heat cap for added conditioning.
