1/5
Keep shampooing to a minimum
Unless you've got an oily scalp that's beyond withstanding for more than a day, try not to shampoo your hair too often. While this mantra should work for all hair types, naturally curled and permed hair benefit more from the lack of moisture-stripping and makes for much easier styling.
2/5
Deep condition hair once a week
To keep split ends at bay, make sure you make time for a deep conditioning session at least once a week. This differs from the usual post-shampoo conditioner application by leaving it in for about 10 minutes, either while standing in the humidity of the shower or wrapped in a hot towel.
3/5
Invest in a wide-toothed comb
Tangles are always a problem for unruly, curly hair. Unravel all the knots while your hair is still damp from a shower with a wide-toothed comb. This prevents too much breakage from happening (as hair is weaker when it's wet) yet effectively untangles, and allows you to run your fingers through it once dry.
4/5
Use a diffuser instead of a hair dryer
In most multi-style hot hair tool sets in the market, this wide, toothed head is included. If you've always wondered how to use it, you're in luck because you can replace your normal blow dryer head immediately if you've got curly hair. Instead of blowing harsh air through a singular blast, a diffuser allows the air to disperse into the smaller individual holes, softly drying air with a larger surface area, proving effective for volumnous curly hair.
5/5
Sleep with hair tied
To keep your curls tamed while you sleep, consider twisting it into a bun and tying it softly with a scrunchie. You can even do this right after combing out all the knots, so you'll be sure to wake up with defined curls and untangled strands.
