How to properly wash curly hair?

It seems so obvious that we might tend to forget it:having beautiful curly hair starts with cleaning that respects the characteristics of the scalp and the hair fiber.

Shampoo, the basis for beautiful curly hair

If there is such a variety of shampoos, it is to meet the needs of each type of hair. And if you have curly hair, you have surely noticed that it is particularly fragile , and often dry.

The first essential step to make them more beautiful, softer and easier to comb is therefore to use the right shampoo. Count in particular on shampoos for dry hair , enriched with oils and butters that will nourish the hair fiber, such as coconut or jojoba oil or even shea or apricot butter. Other plants and active ingredients are also particularly interesting for overcoming excessively dry hair and make up certain shampoos offered by NUOO (rose water, aloe vera, honey, keratin, etc.).

However, if your curly hair is mixed (dry lengths, but oily scalp), it is more reasonable to use a mild shampoo , to be completed with a conditioner for dry and/or curly hair . The latter will help nourish the ends and the lengths, to find beautiful curls, and you will not attack your roots which tend to produce too much sebum.

And as for whether to use a liquid or solid shampoo , it's for you to see ! You will indeed find shampoos suitable for curly hair in these 2 formats.

Rinsing, another step to make your curly hair more beautiful

Thought a quick rinse was enough, especially when using a natural, harmful-free shampoo? Think again:rinsing your hair well leaves no residue from your shampoo and help future hair care to penetrate the hair well.

To gain even more shine and strength, also consider performing a final rinse with an acid mixture , based on vinegar for example. Why ? Because it will rid your hair of the limestone present in the water, but also tighten the scales of your hair and then allow the keratin to do its job. You will then obtain shinier, sheathed hair, with prettier curls! However, use sparingly and in suitable dosages so as not to dry out the hair.

What are good habits for styling curly or frizzy hair?

One of the major problems that you surely encounter with your curly hair occurs when it comes to styling it and detangling the strands one by one. But with a well-established hair routine, you will see that this is not inevitable!

Applying a conditioner

With curly hair, it is strongly recommended to apply a conditioner after each wash. But which one to choose? It depends on your needs, but the idea will always be to find a conditioner that nourishes and promotes hydration of the hair . Then, it's up to you to make your choice according to your particular needs:

  • conditioner detangling if you have a lot of trouble taming your mane when you get out of the shower;
  • special shine product if you find your hair too dull;
  • Repairing Conditioner if you have damaged hair;
  • care for colored hair if you want to revive your color or make it last longer.

With suitable cosmetic products, your hair is now clean and nourished, but other precautions remain important to have beautiful curly or frizzy hair! Discover the benefits of argan oil on hair.

Drying according to the rules

Because it's fragile, curly hair shouldn't be abused at any point in your routine, including when it comes to drying it. Forget the idea of ​​vigorously rubbing your scalp and your lengths with a rough bath towel. Instead, gently dab your hair with a cotton towel .

Then it is best to let them air dry or use a hair dryer with diffuser . This allows you not to concentrate the heat, so as not to weaken the hair or break the curls.

The use of suitable hairdressing equipment

To properly style and detangle your wavy or curly hair , you must also ban blow-dry type brushes or brushes made of boar bristles, for example. The wide-tooth combs are much more suitable for detangling curly hair. Note that there is also a whole range of brushes that allow effective detangling while keeping pretty curls, as well as specific brushes for styling frizzy hair. And for some, the hair routine when styling is simply to use your fingers to detangle and style the curls!

No matter what utensils you use, keep one thing in mind:curly hair should not be brushed when it is dry or when you have just gotten out of the shower! The ideal is to do it when they are damp , otherwise, the risk is simply to break the curls and damage the hair.

The application of styling products

Difficult to discipline, prone to frizz, too flat:despite all the care you give them, your curly hair is sometimes a real hassle! Hair milks, sprays and lotions for curly hair can then give you a good boost.

There are indeed many cosmetic products that have been designed to nourish, moisturize, protect and style curly hair . Depending on their composition, they exert different actions on the hair:sheathing of the hair fiber, fixation of keratin, disappearance of frizz, redefinition of curls, etc. In short, these hair care products are very good allies for structuring your hair as you please and take care of it on a daily basis.

Some apply after washing the hair, while it is still damp, but others can also be used every morning when styling your hair. Indeed, after a night on the pillow, it is possible that your curly hair has lost its beauty and volume. The styling product will then help you redefine your curls as you wish.

Curly hair beauty routine:the right gestures

Should hair masks be applied to curly hair?

Despite using shampoo and conditioner for curly hair, you find your hair remains dull, unmanageable and dry ? Maybe it's just because you're not feeding her enough, even though you already think you're giving her everything she needs. Yes, curly and frizzy hair requires a lot of attention, but it is mostly a matter of habit!

As part of your hair routine, take the time to make a mask about once a week . Several types of products and ways of processing are available to you, depending on the time you have and the needs of your hair:

  • fast-acting mask, to be applied to wet hair for a maximum of fifteen minutes;
  • mask or balm for dry hair, leave on for several hours, or even overnight, before rinsing;
  • mixture of oils (coconut, shea, argan, etc.), to apply again on damp hair and leave for several hours before rinsing.

For better hydration of curly hair or to nourish it more intensely, you can also use "raw" natural products . Aloe vera and honey, for example, are recommended ingredients for dry hair. If it is a question of dealing with brittle and dull hair, it will rather be necessary to favor shea butter or even avocado oil. They can either be applied as a mask before washing the hair, or used in smaller doses after showering, when the hair is not yet completely dry. The hair fiber will absorb the oil fairly quickly, and it will be nourished and more beautiful, without that greasy appearance that gives the impression of dirty hair.

You now have all the keys in hand for a hair routine adapted to your curly hair! If you didn't take such care of it before, be patient:it can sometimes take a few weeks for your hair to regain its full splendor.
