Welcome to our complete guide to curly hair! Whether you've been blessed with gorgeous curls or are the parent of a curly-haired child, you've come to the right place. Curly hair can be both a gift and a challenge. It requires special care to shine in all its glory. In this article, we'll answer all your questions and guide you on how to maintain your beautiful curls.
What makes curly hair different?
Curly hair is primarily distinguished by its texture. This texture is due to the oval or asymmetrical shape of the hair follicle, unlike straight hair, which has a round follicle. This unique shape influences not only the appearance of the hair, but also how it is cared for.
How to take care of curly hair on a daily basis?
To keep your curls healthy and defined, it's essential to adopt a proper hair care routine. Check out our recommendations:
Washing : Use gentle, moisturizing products, like the Washing Duo, to cleanse your hair without stripping it of its natural oils.
Detangling : Always detangle curly hair when it's wet. Using a suitable brush, such as the Flexi Brush, is essential to minimize breakage and frizz.
-
Hydration : Curly hair tends to be drier. Using a hydrating treatment like Aloe Vera Styling Gel helps maintain moisture and curl definition.
What is the best way to style curly hair?
Styling curly hair can sometimes seem tricky. However, with the right practices and products, it can become a real pleasure:
Heatless styling : Limit the use of heat to preserve the health of your hair. Opt for natural methods such as twist-outs or braid-outs to define your curls.
Hold : To hold your curls without weighing them down, apply a lightweight gel like our Aloe Vera Styling Gel, which not only provides good hold but also extra hydration.
How to maintain children's curls?
Children's curly hair requires special attention to ensure its health while making parents' hair routine easier:
Suitable products : Use products specially designed for children, such as the Children's Curly Hair Kit and the Children's Leave-in, to provide them with gentle and effective care.
Patience and Gentleness : When detangling, arm yourself with patience and use your fingers or a soft brush, such as the Flexi Brush, to avoid squealing and tension.
How to avoid frizz?
Frizz is a common concern for people with curly hair. Here are some tips to prevent it:
Deep Hydration : Maintain good hydration with regular treatments and hair masks.
Drying Techniques : Avoid rubbing your hair with a towel. Instead, use a soft cotton T-shirt to pat your curls dry.
