I can never seem to get my natural curls and waves to look pretty, so instead of embracing my locks, I've tried for years to get rid of them completely. Not any more. I really wanted was smooth gorgeous looking hair, so after years of damaging it, I decided to embrace my curls and went on a mission to find the tips for keeping frizz away making my waves as smooth and beautiful as possible. Whether you have short curls or long curls, these curly hair styling tips will keep your locks in check and make your life so much easier! Curly Hair Tips When detangling your hair, use your fingers or a wide tooth comb. This will help prevent breakage and maintain the shape of your curls. This is the gentlest way to detangle curls because it doesn't disrupt the natural curl pattern as much as a brush would What kind of pillow case do you sleep on? All that tossing and turning at night can do some real damage to your curls. Try switching to a satin or silk pillowcase. This will protect your curls all night long. Do you dry your hair with a towel? Use an old t-shirt instead. This material is much softer and gentler on hair which will help reduce frizz and breakage. To do this, gently wrap up the ends of your hair in the shirt and squeeze out the excess water. When you comb your hair, which end do start from? Try combing from the ends upward, gradually move upward to the roots. It's much easier to comb through knots at the ends first and you will avoid breakage. How to Manage Curly Hair Before you step into the shower, apply your favorite deep conditioner to your hair and put on a shower cap. Wash your body before washing your hair as normal. All the steam from the shower will help your curls lock in moisture. Before you step out of the shower apply a small amount of conditioner, and comb it through your hair. This will help keep your curls from separating and reduce frizz. On that same note, don't completely rinse out all the conditioner when washing your hair. It's OK to leave a small amount of conditioner in your hair. Your curly ends will thank you. Mix leave-in conditioner with gel or cream to moisturize your hair while sculpting the curls. Scrunch and twist the product into damp hair and air-dry or style as normal. Try applying coconut oil all over your hair as a deep conditioner before showering. If you have very dry hair, rub coconut oil on the ends when styling for extra shine. Do you work out? Apply deep conditioner to your hair before hand. The heat from working out will help lock in moisture and your curls will be extra soft. Just rinse as normal after your you killed it at the gym. Hate crunchy curls? Prevent them by applying a small amount of hair oil after using your styling products like mousse or gel. Just rub a bit of oil onto the areas that feel a bit stiff. Do you have split ends? They can make your hair frizzy and unhealthy. Make sure to get a trim at least every every six to eight weeks. Mix two or more products together to meet your specific styling needs Try a smoothing serum plus mousse or mixing a styling gel and coconut oil. Either of these combos will help leave your hair less crunchy and keep your hair smooth. Need an extra bounce when your hair is dull or dry? Simply use your fingertips and apply a dime-size amount of styling gel or oil to your ends. Your bounce is now back! Use a diffuser. This will help you dry them quickly without disturbing the natural shape of your curl as it diffuses the air spreading it softly through your locks.
