To begin with, let’s emphasize that there is no single approach to caring for our curly hair.
This is because there are several types of curly hair:
- Wavy (wavy)
- Curved (curvy)
- Curly (curly)
- Spiral (spiral)
- Katsara (springy)
If we know our curl type, it can help us to understand and find the right curl for us.
the way we take care of our hair.
A visit to our personal hairdresser can solve the question about our curl type.
As well as, it can advise us on the ideal products to have.
Whatever our curl type is, simply having curly hair means that the sebum, produced by the curls, is not
naturally on our scalp, it has a slower appearance, unlike straight hair.
This usually leaves curly hair more prone to dryness.
How often should we bathe them?
The goal is to wash your curly hair every 2 – 3 days or so.
However, since they do not tend to “oil” so easily,
we can delay our bathing for a day or two!
This time frame is quite subjective – because the frequency of bathing is about texture and
the health of our hair, along with other factors, such as how much you tend to sweat.
- The thicker hair, for example, can be washed once a week – thick hair tends to be washed once a week.
to be “thirsty”, so they are less likely to be weighed down by sebum. - Fine hair, on the other hand, can get heavy quite quickly.
This means we may want to wash our fine curls twice a week – unless,
Of course, our fine curls also tend towards the drier side.
If we have drier hair, two or three washes a week may be too many.
Again, we want to emphasize that all curls are different.
This is why experimentation with the bathing program and observation of the
in how there is a response from our hair is almost essential.
When we wash our hair, it is good to focus on our scalp, where sebum can build up. Avoid rubbing the limbs, where the oils from your scalp don’t reach.
The natural oils from your scalp are actually the best conditioner for our hair.
Creating the right bathing schedule
We don’t know if we should reduce our weekly shampooing or wash our hair more often?
Our own hair can offer some clues that will help us
to determine the best bathing schedule.
Frequent shampooing of curly hair can result in a tight scalp and
extremely dry and frizzled strands.
On the other hand, not washing curly hair often enough makes our curls look greasy and weak.
Sometimes we see our hair looking oily on the scalp, but dry and brittle at the ends.
This is another sign that we may be overdoing it.
The care of curly hair does not end when we turn off the water – the hair care after
shampooing can also make a difference.
- We dry our hair after shampooing.
- Avoid rubbing your hair, as this creates friction that leads to frizz.
- Apply any product you intend to use while your hair is still wet
Tip: Always use a microfiber towel for curly hair.
Microfiber towels can help in the formation of our curls and reduce frizz.
Finally, do not forget to choose the necessary products for curly hair.
