Tips for Curly Hair Care

Though curly hair can look fascinating and stylish but they also tend to be more brittle, dryer and prone to frizzing. In comparison to straight hair, curly hair needs more care. One can’t afford to be careless with curly hair. With few easy tips, it becomes really easy to manage curly hair. For instance, those with curly hair should never shampoo their hair for more than twice a week. Shampooing strips your hair of its natural oils and that’s why you should restrict its usage. Conditioner is a must every time you use shampoo. Conditioner helps in re-moisturizing your hair. You can also use a leave-in conditioner on your hair daily or every other day.

Considering the varieties of shampoo available in the market, one can easily find shampoos particularly suited for curly hair. Never compromise on the quality and brand of the shampoo. It is important for a curly haired person to use wide-toothed combs instead of narrow toothed combs and brushes. It will help in reducing breakage and frizzing of hair. Comb your hair slowly and never apply force.

Curly hair has tendency to get entangled. So if you want to detangle your hair then start with your hair moist and conditioned in the shower. Use your fingers slowly and carefully to untangle. Afterwards, you should use a wide toothed comb starting from the end going up finishing at the root of the hair. Don’t detangle your hair when it’s dry. That will cause frizzing and breakage. Let your hair air dry to reduce frizzing. Don’t use brush on wet hair. Remember to deep condition your hair once a month or more to re-moisturize your scalp and hair. You can also choose quality styling hair product.

Hair Volume

Hair care takes into consideration several important factors and one such important factor is hair volume. By hair volume, we mean numbers of hair per square inch. Let’s have a look at different types of hair volume and how that affects one’s total hair care regime. So if you are wondering about how to find the volume of your hair, here is one simple way.

Hair care products like conditioners, light gels, and mousses etc will help in adding volume to thin hair.
The last hair type is medium hair volume which is also the most common type. This type is best manageable among the three hair types. One can opt for any style possible to this type.
