How to Care for Unmanageable Curly Hair

To have a beautiful hair is a difficult task if one has an unmanageable curly hair. Fortunately, one can still enjoy beautiful curly hair – she only needs to follow these few effective hair care tips:  

Dry the hair properly

Especially if the hair is curly, one must not wring, brush, or tug her hair when wet. To dry and take away excessive moisture on hair after shampooing, use a clean absorbent towel and comb.

Trim curly hair regularly

One must keep her hair regularly trimmed. Every month or six week, she must have hair curls cut to keep them looking healthy and alive. If she intends to let it grow, just nip the hair ends. Women must remember that untrimmed hair, especially curly ones, will start to have breakage at the ends. 

Remember to Moisturize

Always moisturize curly hair. This will protect it from too much humidity. A good moisturizing spray will help the hair style to last longer. Use a smoothing product for a more efficient moisturizing effect.

Use quality iron

One must use a quality ceramic flat iron to ensure that no damage is inflicted on her hair. She must see to it that the iron has a thermostat, which should be on medium level as she starts with the ironing. Eventually, she will need to lower down the heat as she finishes on straightening her curly hair.

Don’t iron on a daily basis

One must not use the flat iron everyday as this can only cause the hair to get frizzier. The hot iron might straighten an individual’s hair; but as the effect wears off, the hair becomes curlier. Hence, schedule the curling of hair using the hot iron sparingly, like twice or thrice in a week.

Use heat absorber

One must always apply a heat absorber between her hair and hot iron. An ideal product is ArTex Cream, which is effective in providing protection to the curly hair as it is subjected to heat.

Do Minimal Straightening

Don’t do too much straightening on her curly hair; and as much as possible, straighten only those areas that are curlier than the others. Problem areas are most likely to be hair at the hairline. Then, she must utilize a round ceramic brush to straighten up the rest of the hair to minimize exposure to heat.

Use hair treatment

After every three shampooing, she can subject her curly hair to a heavy hair treatment, like Deep Fuel or Redken Butter Treatment. These products are effective in minimizing hair breakage while encouraging healthy growth of hair. 

Finally, if a woman wants to become a beauty buzz because she boasts of a shiny, beautiful, and manageable curly hair; it is a must that she talks to a hair professional about which hair products are best for her type of hair. Any well-meaning hairstylist will spend some time just to give her some good advices on how to care for her difficult curly locks.
