Whether you want to know how to care for curly hair or how to best treat your curls, with the right routine and natural hair care you give your curls the love they deserve!
How do you care for curly hair so you can be the best version of yourself every day?
Curly hair naturally needs more hydration than straight hair, because the natural oils from the scalp have a harder time penetrating the curls. This makes the hair dry faster and prone to frizz. That’s why it’s important to use mild, nourishing products that hydrate your curls without weighing them down. At Love And Care, you’ll find nourishing hair oils and creams that are specially formulated to keep your curls soft, shiny and bouncy.
Important Tips for Caring for Curly Hair
Tip 1: Use sulfate-free shampoo
Curly hair naturally dries out faster than straight hair, for example. Shampoos with sulfates and/or parabens can make this problem worse. That's why it's important to wash your hair no more than twice a week. However, your scalp does need a good cleanse. That's why you should choose a sulfate-free shampoo that gently cleanses your hair without stripping it of its natural oils. This helps to maintain the moisture level in your curls, keeping them better hydrated and healthier.
However, sulfates and parabens in a shampoo provide thorough cleaning of the hair and scalp. It may still be advisable to wash your hair once a month with a shampoo that contains sulfates. In that case, use sufficient moisturizing hair products afterwards.
Tip 2: Use a hair mask regularly
In addition to the conditioner you apply after washing, it is important to give your curls an extra boost with a nourishing hair mask every week. This provides deep hydration and helps repair damaged hair, for example due to heat, chemical treatments or external influences. Choose a hair mask with nourishing oils and butters to optimally care for your curls and keep them strong and healthy.
Tip 3: Let your hair dry naturally
Preferably, let your hair air dry instead of blow-drying it to prevent damage and maintain the natural curl structure. Use a microfiber towel or soft cotton T-shirt to gently squeeze excess water from your hair. Rubbing with a regular towel can cause friction, which promotes frizz. By using this method, your curls will remain more defined and healthy.
Tip 4: Use a leave-in conditioner
A leave-in conditioner provides long-lasting hydration and offers extra protection for your curls. It also helps define your curls and reduce frizz. Apply the product to wet hair after washing and distribute it evenly with your fingers or a comb. This gives your curls a healthy shine and a beautiful, bouncy shape.
Want to give your curls some extra protection? Consider a protective butter cream as an alternative to a leave-in conditioner. This product provides intense nourishment and is ideal when you wear your curls in a protective style, such as a low ponytail or a bun.
Tip 5: Schedule a scalp massage regularly
A well-groomed scalp is the basis for strong and healthy hair growth. By regularly massaging your scalp with your fingertips, you stimulate blood circulation and the hair follicles receive more nutrients. This not only supports hair growth, but also has a relaxing effect and helps reduce stress. For an extra effective massage, you can use a special massage brush.
Tip 6: Trim away dead hair ends regularly
Regular haircuts prevent split ends and keep your curls bouncy and healthy. If split ends are not removed in time, they can tear further and damage your hair. To prevent this, it is advisable to schedule a trim every 6 to 8 weeks so that your curls retain their optimal shape and vitality.
Tip 7: Use the Queenie Super Growth hair oil
Love And Care's Queenie Super Growth Oil is a favorite among curly haired women and a must-have in your hair care routine. This uniquely formulated hair oil is specially developed for curls and provides intensive nourishment that helps keep your curls healthy and bouncy.
