The keys to taking care of your curly hair
For better or for worse, curly hair is different. Your curls are your hallmark, so you should not neglect them. If you are sick of trying to tame them, this is your post.
Curly hair has a tendency to dry out and need specific care , since it is not in direct contact with the scalp, unlike straight hair, and therefore has very little contact with the sebaceous glands and their softening properties. The cuticle is less smooth and more sensitive to external aggressions. For all these reasons, curly hair should be treated with the utmost gentleness, especially while it is wet.
Those goldilocks can never go out! Therefore, the first thing you have to do is take care of your hair and keep your curls defined. How do we do it?
Here are some tips on how to care for curly hair so you can use them in your day to day.
- The first thing is to know your type of curls . There are three main groups: wavy, curly, and afro. Within each category, there are several subgroups, depending on the definition of the curl, among other factors.
- Don't use shampoo . Also known as "no-poo" (no shampoo), since you only use conditioner in the wash. Some girls with curly hair have blind faith in him ...
- Don't rub your hair with a towel when it's wet . Roll it up in the towel and press it gently to remove the moisture.
- When you are washing your hair, condition starting from the bottom of your hair and work your way up, the same when combing your hair .
- Curly hair needs a lot of nutrition , so choose shampoos and conditioners that contain natural lipids such as shea butter, jojoba or macadamia oil, as these ingredients protect the hair with a thin film to keep its shape.
- The heat of the dryer dries out curly hair . Let your hair air dry and if you are in a hurry and cannot do it, lower the temperature of your dryer and use a diffuser.
- DO NOT abuse the iron . It is very aggressive for the hair, so you should use it very occasionally and after having applied a heat protectant.
- If you are going to the gym, apply a setting cream to your hair and then tie a bun. Time and the heat of your body will allow the humidity to settle.
- Use curlers . If you have frizzy hair with very small and tangled curls, the rollers will transform your hair into a mane with soft and light curls.
These are some tricks to keep your curls perfect. Now comes the most delicate moment: what hairstyle do I get? Fear not, here are a few 😉
The top hairstyles for curly hair
It is true that curly hair can have more tangles than straight hair, so you have to untangle it well so as not to find many knots when undoing the hairstyle.
From the Marie Claire website they advise using resistant, good quality rubber bands, so that the hairstyle lasts longer. If you have layered hair with lots of strands that can come out, use bobby pins for support.
If you think you have too much volume or frizzy hair for these styles, you can use the flat iron to remove some volume , but never completely remove the curls.
These are some of the perfect hairstyles for curly hair:
- Soft waves. To achieve this retro result, apply a curl-defining cream, comb your hair as you prefer and fix each strand with wave-marking tweezers at chin level. Dry your hair with the dryer using a diffuser, wait for it to dry and remove the tweezers. Comb your hair very carefully.
- Tousled-combed effect. Apply a little mousse to dry hair and twist thick strands into a spiral, wrapping them in aluminum foil. Dry your hair with the dryer for a few minutes and once it has cooled, remove them. Don't brush your hair, just run your hands through the curls to shape them.
- Gathered in . Simple but flirty, this hairstyle is perfect for both a jeans day and a long dress.
- Low ponytail. Ideal for day to day. Do not over-tighten with the rubber, to make it a casual look.
- 3 collected in one. You will need three gummies. First make a ponytail from above and to that ponytail you will add the three strands inwards.
- Bun braid . Very easy to do: collecting the strands that bother the face, in the form of a braid, and join them in a bun.
- Braided bun. You start from one side by making a braid and end by twisting it into a bun.
- Braid headband . The braid runs through your entire hair, from one side to the other.
- Triangle. First collect half a hair, it will be the bow that is in the center. Divide the hair that you have let loose in two and with each strand you make the other two bows that form the triangle.
