How to Restore and Manage Curly Hair

Winter weather can bring frizz, dryness, and chaos to naturally curly hair. I have Holiday photos to prove it. By now, you have probably heard the words; air dry, no heat, diffuser, no brushes. I fought against these tips with every hair dryer, straightener, and hair product I could find.

Finally, I applied some of the tips I had spent years reading about. Curly hairstyles begin when shampooing. I usually skip two days between shampooing. This is important: Finding the right shampoo and conditioner for your type hair is essential. It doesn’t have to cost a lot. I prefer L’Oréal Paris, sulfate free because I color my hair.

When shampooing, I learned by massaging it into my scalp, I have less breakage. Flipping my head upside down, I work a quarter size of conditioner through the ends of my hair, but not into the scalp. With a wide tooth comb, I gently comb the conditioner through my hair before rinsing.

Products that work on my hair may not work on some people. I spray Palmer’s Olive Oil through my hair. There are different oils to choose from Next, I use Pure Shine Curly Lotion. These are the two products I have found that leave my hair soft, with no frizz, breakage, or static.

After using the products, I loosely wrap a towel around my head for about 10 minutes. I use my fingers to get out tangles, and shape my curls, letting them air dry. My hair has never felt or looked better. Once a month, I like to use an argan oil treatment for my hair.

It took me years to find the products that make my hair healthy. I have tried Olive Oil and had nice results but after finding the Pure Shine Hair Lotion, the results were amazing. Every hair type is different, so not everyone can expect the same results using the same product as articles.

Besides the basics of shampooing, conditioning, and styling, there are other helpful tips. I have learned the hard way to keep thinning shears away from my hair. Layers make the curls feel and appear thinner. Towel drying doesn’t mean rubbing the towel profusely over your hair. It’s more of a gentle squeeze at the ends.

Also, I’d like to add, oils aren’t good moisturizers. They coat the hair, but don’t absorb well. Last but not least, embrace your curls and the beautiful you. Stop envying straight hair on women. Most of them are envious of your curls. Don’t be afraid of the less tame days. Let your hair down, and set your curls free.
