1.Ditch the heat.
Heat styling tools such as flat irons and curling irons do nothing but damage your locks and, turn your hair into a dry, brittle, unhealthy mess since you are basically frying your hair when using them.
If you have been using heat tools, stop. To remove existing damage, get your split ends cut off.
2.Don’t wash your hair every day.
You may think that its good for your hair to wash it daily. But when you wash your hair daily, you’re actually stripping it of its natural oils, resulting in it turning dry and frizzy. Curly hair requires a lot more moisture than straight hair so it’s quite bad for it to be washed daily, Instead, only wash your hair two to four times a week. You can condition your hair between washes if you like.
3.Find the right shampoo and conditioner.
You may not think it matters much about what shampoo and conditioners you use, yet it does. The type of shampoo and conditioner you use has a big impact on your hair. Everyone’s hair has different needs, so the type of shampoo and conditioner you use all relies on personal choice and what you feel leaves your hair looking and feeling its best.
If you are on a swim team, etc., and swim in a chlorinated pool regularly ,you should be using a clarifying shampoo and conditioner as the chlorine in the pool can be harmful to your hair. When it comes to a human hair wig, baby shampoo is a good choice.
4.When conditioning your hair, apply the conditioner starting about an inch down from the root all the way down to the tips of your hair, don’t apply too much conditioner because this can result in your hair being greasy, just apply enough so that your hair is feeling silky and smooth. Wait about 3 minutes before rinsing the conditioner out of your hair, during this time brush your hair with your fingers until most of the knots are out, then use a wide toothed comb working up from the tips to the roots so your hair doesn’t get damaged.
5.Deep condition your hair at least once a week to keep it hydrated. There are many deep conditioning treatments available such as the Garnier Fructis Nutri-Repair 5 Minute Ultra Nourishing Butter Mask.
6.Detangle your hair after each wash. As a curly haired girl, hopefully you already know that unless it’s Halloween and you’re in need of an afro, you should avoid brushing your hair when it’s dry because it will just go pouf! Use a detangling spray on any knots, and carefully work through them with your fingers or a wide toothed comb, not a normal brush (which will cause hair breakage).
7.Avoid towel drying curly hair. When you scrub at your strands with the towel, this causes friction which increases the amount of frizz in your hair when it’s dry. While in the shower, gently wring your hair to get some of the water out of it. To avoid your hair being dripping wet, wrap it up in a towel on top of your head for about 5-10 minutes.
If you’re in a hurry and have no time to let your hair air dry, use a diffuser (blow-dryer attachment). A hairdryer is a curly haired girl’s worst nightmare, because it simply makes your hair go pouf! While pointing the diffuser in the direction of the curl, hold the curl in your hand and gently squeeze it while drying, however you should not be using a hair blower in your hair too often, and when you do, make sure to use a heat protectant.
