TOP 3 STYLING TIPS FOR CURLY HAIR
1. Under wash and over condition. You should wash your hair as little as possible. Try substituting a conditioner for your shampoo 3 out of 4 times you wash. (A quality shampoo now and again is good especially if you’re using a lot of styling products) Also make sure to use a leave in conditioner after every time you wet your hair.
2. Products are crucial. You need the right combination of smoothing and curl defining products to make your style last. Try a medium to strong hold depending on your curl pattern and tendency toward frizz. Definitely use serums and products that add lots of shine.
3. Air drying is always best, but when you’re in a time crunch use a diffuser. There are two types: A basket diffuser will tighten curls and increase volume while a sock diffuser will mimic the air-dried look better. Just remember to set and forget your hair. Try to keep your hands off as much as possible.
