Curly Hair Care Tips

If you were blessed with curly hair, then you know how hard it can be to manage your locks.  There are many different problems people with curly hair have.

• Dryness
• frizzies
• unmanageable

There are a few things you can do to keep your curly hair beautiful and healthy looking.  The first and most important thing to do is make sure you have a really good haircut.  Curly hair is tricky and not just any cut will do.  If you have long hair, keep your ends trimmed and try adding a few long layers in your hair.  If your hair is thick, the layers will help thin your hair.  If your hair is extremely thick, try thinning, just be sure you choose a stylist who knows how to thin correctly; if it is done wrong, it can be a disaster!  You don’t want to thin your hair too much or everytime you get it cut.  Ask your stylist, they will know what is best.

If you have a short do, try to choose hairstyles that are for curly hair.  If your hair is extremely curly, and you want a short pixie do, you may have to have your hair straightened.  Or you can just choose a cute cut that is designed for curly hair!  Ask your stylist for suggestions.

Curly hair tends to be on the dry side.  Always use a good conditioner after you shampoo.  If you blow dry your locks straight, always apply a product that protects your hair from the heat. 

If you wear your hair curly, towel dry your hair then apply a mousse or a light gel.  This keeps your curls in control and keeps them from becoming frizzy.
