Sulphates in shampoos can strip curls of natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos or try no-poo, low-poo, or co-washing methods to keep curls hydrated and healthy.

Ditch the Sulphates
Brushing dry curls can cause breakage. Instead, detangle in the shower with conditioner and fingers or a wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working upwards to reduce damage.

Don’t Brush Before Washing
Apply moisture-boosting products to soaking wet hair to lock in hydration. Spritz water on curls before applying cream and gel to enhance definition and retain moisture.

Water is Your Best Friend
Hot water can dry out curls by lifting cuticles and allowing moisture to escape. Rinse with cold or lukewarm water to seal cuticles, retaining moisture and adding shine.

Use Cold Water for Rinsing
Regular conditioning is crucial for curly hair, which is prone to dryness. Use silicone-free conditioners and deep-conditioning treatments to keep curls hydrated and well-nourished.

Keep Up the Conditioning
For extra moisture, apply a nourishing natural oil like baobab or coconut oil after styling. These oils penetrate deeply to seal in hydration and enhance softness and shine.

Follow Up with Oil
Traditional terry cloth towels can damage curls and cause frizz. Instead, use an old cotton T-shirt or a microfibre towel to gently blot hair dry, reducing friction and breakage.

Avoid Rough Towels
Avoid touching or separating curls while they dry to prevent frizz. Let curls air-dry or use a diffuser on low heat, and use clips at the roots for added volume if needed.

Don’t Touch Your Curls While Drying
To maintain curl definition overnight, sleep with your hair in a loose 'pineapple' on top of your head. Using a silk scarf or pillowcase can minimize friction and prevent breakage.
