Dear girls with curly hair, we love your hair. But we also know how it gets difficult to manage them every day.
Unlike the straight or wavy hair types, curly hair comes with its own unique set of challenges, that includes frizz, breakage and dryness.
The struggle is real, and here we are with the most common mistakes that you might be doing to your hair.
You can try to avoid them and help keep your curls smooth, shiny, and bouncy!
Mistake 1: Over-washing your hair
While washing your hair depends upon several factors, scalp moisture, sebum production, and maybe your workout schedule, it’s suggested that one should refrain from shampooing curly hair every day. Textured hair needs its natural oils to stay healthy, to prevent breakage.
Mistake 2: Skipping the conditioner
Curly and textured hair types tend to become dry, dull, and frizzy. Solution? Don’t skip out on conditioner! A hydrating conditioner will help provide a daily dose of healthy hydration, nourishment, and protection that your hair can’t get from shampoo alone.
Mistake 3: Waiting for too long before applying styling products
When it comes to the curly mane, the sooner you can set your curls the better, and that is why experts suggest applying styling products while your hair is still wet and before the frizz has time to set in. If you want to wait for too long, it may rough up the hair cuticle, causing your curls to become frizzy and undefined.
Mistake 4: Wrongly blow-drying your hair
It is best if one can air-dry her hair. But if one plans to blow-dry your hair, be sure to add a diffuser attachment onto the dryer that will help limit the amount of forceful air and direct heat.
Mistake 5: Not using a leave-in conditioner
It’s never enough to condition your hair just in the shower. Textured hair needs long-lasting moisture and protection, which is why it’s highly recommended that you invest in a lightweight leave-in conditioner.
