Natural curly hair? Maintain them to their most beautiful version with simple everyday tips!

Among to all those different hair types, curly for sure arrouse the interest. From soft waves to tight hold, curls have the power to exude personallity. But many times, people that have curly hair are dreaming of straight hair, that's why they choose keratin treatments or they use on daily basis thermal tools, so that they could transform them into the shape they desire.

But why does this happen?

This category is seperated to 3 main hair types: wavy, curly and so-called afro hair. As impressive and rich they are, just as much attention is needed in their care. Therefore, they resort to the easy solution, which in the end causes negative effects into hair quality and their natural shape is destroyed.

Their care demands special methods and products that will help them maintain their health and their natural beautiful texture, creating the most breathtaking hairstyles. 

What are their main features?

The structure of a coat is particularly important as it affects how curls are formed. Each hair is surrounded by a sheath called a follicle. Its shape assists to understanding what type of hair you have and therefore how it reacts to humidity and the external factors. As much more oval is the follicle, just as more tight and curly hair will be created. 

Also, they tend to be drier, due to the open structure of the follicle. This happens, beacause the natural oils from the scalp can't make it to the ends of the curly hair, causing frizz and breakage. 

In fact, in combination with their sensitivity to hairdos and styling, it is very easy to cause damage.  If you don't follow basic techniques, then the hair will automatically start to look distressed.

What is the hair-care routine that will bring out the best side of your curly hair? 

Washing with moisturizing products 

To maintain healthy your curly hair, cleansing is a key step. 

Adjust the frequency washing denpending on your needs, trying to not wash them too often, so that will not be removed too much natural oilness. 

Invest in hydrating shampoos enriched with ingredients such as: glycerin, aloe vera or shea, avoiding harsh foaming agents and sulfate, because they could remove the natural humidity from your hair. 

After shampoo, use a correspondingly special conditioner for curly hair. Apply to length and ends, avoiding the scalp.

Detangle properly

Curls get tangled easily and most people comb them from the roots to the ends. But do you know that the ideal way is similar with the straight one? Choose a fine-toothed comb and devide the hair into sections. First, begin with the ends and gradually work your way up with gentle movements towards the roots.

Drying with a special attachment

When you use the nozzle on the blow dryer, frizz is minimized as it distributes the heat evenly throughout your hair. Keep it into distance while drying, so that you will not destroy the natural texture of your hair and use circular motions starting at the root and continue to all the way down. 

Change your pillow case 

It may seems unimportant, but in reality it really matters for the health and for the appearance of the hair. One simple change to saten or silk may have positive resutls, while you are sleeping. These ingedients can provide the elasticity that need the curly hair,  reducing overnight friction and reducing important the frizz. 

Styling products 

Each one that you have for your hair care routine, they have to respond to your needs and especially to be adjustable to curly hair. To the market you will find variety of oils, thermoprotective serums, spray, that will hepl your hair to look more shinny, more beautiful, more well-groomed during the day. 

Haircut 

Caring for wavy and curly hair can be greatly facilitated by a right chosen hairstyle. It is good to cut your hair regularly, so that they will be light and they will have a visible, clean wavy structure. If you cut your hair at home, you should always do that while they are dry. Each curl has its own shape, which seems best, when the hair is dry.

Pay attention to the towel

It is recommended not to rub the wet hair on the towel, because in this way create intense friction that damages the hair and makes it more prone to breakage, but in frizz too.Prefer to simply wrap them in it, so that the water will be absorbed gradually. Also a microfiber towel or even a cotton t-shirt or fabric that you don't need, can be a great efficient idea.
