Gorgeous Curls: 5 Easy tips to tame your hair

Curly hair has a reputation for being one of the hardest hair types to manage and style. No doubt it looks gorgeous and gives off a natural vibe but it is also more prone to split ends and breakage. There is an art to managing curly hair. You need to know what your hair needs and make the most out of it lest it gets damaged even more due to humidity and dry conditions. So without further ado, here are 5 tried and tested tips for managing curly hair.

TIP #1: PAMPER YOUR HAIR

To prevent your gorgeous curls from turning into a crazy frizz mess, use a weekly hair treatment to keep it under control. Using a nourishing treatment like a hair mask can help to get rid of unwanted frizz and make your hair smooth and more manageable.

TIP #2: COMB IT RIGHT

Curly hair isn’t the easiest of hair types to run your fingers through let alone a brush. When combing or brushing your hair, we would recommend gradually moving your brush upwards instead of starting at the roots. Apply a little more pressure when doing so and this will make it much easier to comb through the knots.

TIP #3: APPLY CONDITIONER BEFORE WASHING YOUR HAIR

On days where you are ready to wash your hair, apply a deep conditioning product to your mane and tuck it away into a shower cap. Do this before stepping into the shower so that your hair has an adequate amount of time to absorb the nutrients from the product. Wash your body and hair as per normal afterwards and you’ll notice a difference in your hair texture once you step out of the shower – you’ll be able to run your finger through your curls.

TIP #4: WRING ALL THE WATER OUT USING A T-SHIRT

Curly hair types are more prone to becoming frizzy. After washing your hair, wring out the water with an old T-Shirt instead of a towel. This helps to absorb less water and retain the moisture levels in your hair. You will also notice that you will experiencing less tangle and frizz.

TIP #5: USE OIL TO FIX CRUNCHY CURLS

If you experience crunchy curls often, fix this issue with our hair hack – rub a little oil in between your palms and apply it to your ends. This helps to get rid of the crunchy look and will give your curls some bounce again.
