The ABCs, don’t get overwhelmed; refer to the KISS (Keep It Simple Styling) list below to see how simple the steps are to care for your curls.
Always use sulfate-free shampoo. (Shampoo less and co-wash more with conditioner.)
Clarify once a month depending on product buildup.
Use a good conditioner with botanical ingredients and leave some in as your curl pattern requires, plus weekly treatments as needed.
Ensure there’s the proper amount of moisture in your hair before applying styling product.
Apply appropriate styling products in layers—no product cocktail mixes! Use styling products that are alcohol-free and light on oils, or curl-friendlier styling products with cetyl alcohol or water-soluble oils.
Scrunch with a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to remove moisture and encourage curl.
Use clips or Pik to add volume to your curly style.
Choose from the best drying methods: air-dry, diffuse, hooded dryer or plopping.
Sleep curly: options include the pineapple, claw clip, mesh bandana, hair tube or plopping (NO SATIN BONNETS).
Use a curl refresher to wake up your curls in the morning and always fluff at the root. And away you go! - b0102778149цитирует4 года назадIt should be the first product you put on your curls after washing and conditioning, after removing a little moisture from your curls as explained in the Moisture Level Test section (p. 68). Don’t get lazy and mix your leave-in conditioner with a gel, for example, in your hand. A true leave-in has ingredients and properties designed to benefit the hair when left in the hair. You must therefore layer your products properly: using a gel, for example, over the specially designed leave-in conditioner will actually seal in the beneficial ingredients of the conditioner. As the curls dry, they are protected from the heat of the sun or dryness in the air, etc., by the gel layer.
To get these products to work properly—whether you’re a one-product curly or five—you must also learn how to section your hair. It’s just one more step to get you to reach your true curly potential. Teaching you all these steps is like putting pieces of a puzzle together. Each piece (step) I share with you will make a beautiful curly image when put together. Miss a piece and your curls will be incomplete. Get these steps down and you’ll never go back to lazy styling, knowing how great the curly style is when you put in the effort, especially when it gets you more styling days out of your curls.
Sectioning Your Curls
Let’s face it, as a curly, we will always have a little frizz at times, but it’s part of the curly personality! But hydrated, well-defined curls trump all in the curly world, so let’s start with learning how to section hair to achieve the best results for our curly lifestyle hair goals.
Always start with hair that is clean (washed with sulfate-free shampoo or co-washed) and conditioned. Depending on the texture of your curls, you will have:
rinsed off all your conditioner, for fine wavy hair or 2 curl pattern
left in a little conditioner, for thick, coarse, wavy 2 curl pattern
left in up to 25 percent of the conditioner, for 3 curl pattern
left in up to 50 percent of the conditioner, for 4 curl pattern
Before you apply your styling product, it’s important to detangle your curls. After you have cleansed your hair, finger rake to detangle your curls or use a wide-tooth comb before moving to a smaller tooth comb or brush, if you choose. When detangling, if you come across a knot or tangle, apply extra conditioner into the knot and massage in, then use your fingers or comb to work your way up from the bottom of the curly ends to the knot to detangle. If you have longer or thicker curls, you can divide your hair into large, pie-shaped vertical sections from the crown down to the neck to make detangling easier, using a clip to hold aside every completed section. - b0102778149цитирует4 года назадDon’t put oils or oily serums on your curls first, as this will not allow the other products to penetrate the hair and do their job.
