Curls Just Wanna Have Fun: Caring For & Styling Your Curly Hair

Are you a curly hair novice? A curl expert? We’re showing you the best products for curly hair and breaking down all the deets on styling curly hair, how to tell if you have curly hair, and what exactly makes your strands go springing up into spirals.

There are a few reasons why curls need more moisture than someone with straight hair.

1. The natural oils that your scalp produces takes longer to travel down and coat  a curly hair shaft from root to tip than a straight hair shaft. If you think of a strand of hair like a staircase, you can run down a straight staircase much faster than you can run down a spiral or winding staircase.

   
   

2. Curly haired individuals tend to use more heated appliances on a more regular basis. These individuals could use a diffuser to define their curly strands, then the next day they could use a straightening iron to give a sleek look. That is why it is so important to make sure you use a heat protectant before you use any heat appliance on the hair to keep those tresses healthy and beautiful.

   
   

3. Lastly, the environment and outside factors can certainly contribute to the need for more hydration. In drier climates, curly hair that is already moisture deprived can become dry and frizzy at a faster rate, so in these climates you want to make sure you focus on adding products that will add a little more moisture to your curly locks.

   
   

Curls love hydration! If you’re looking for a curly hair shampoo and conditioner, use The Nurture Collection for weightless hydration.

Nurture Hydrating Shampoo’s key ingredients are Aloe Leaf Juice, which hydrates and soothes the scalp, and Panthenol, an ingredient that most people know better as pro-Vitamin B5, which helps fortify hair to restore its shine and luster.

Nurture Hydrating Conditioner has ingredients that work hard to lock your hair’s moisture in and keep the frizzies out. Camellia Seed Oil penetrates hair with moisture, protects from extra dryness and split ends, and adds shine. Amino Acids work to moisturize and condition hair for a smooth, silky feel.

Fight frizz that can occur in curly hair textures while defining and smoothing out your ringlets. Using 2-3 pea-sized amounts of Complete Air Dry Cream, section by section on damp hair to scrunch and define your curls, make sure you get even distribution of the product on each of your curly strands, adding more if needed. Break up the curl cast on dry hair with 1-3 drops of Complete Nourishing Shine Drops for extra frizz fighting, extra definition and ultra shiny curly hair.
