Beauty Hacks to Maintain Curly Hair

Women with curly locks of hair know what a struggle it can be to maintain and style their hair. Curly hair is rare and precious and needs a lot of attention to maintain it properly. While this maintenance might seem too tedious, it doesn’t have to be. If you have naturally curly hair, here are a few simple beauty hacks and tips to rock those curls confidently!

Trim, Trim, Trim

It’s not only curly hair that needs frequent trimming but all kinds of hair. Split-ends are a menace that can hinder normal, healthy growth of your hair. In curly hair, they can be a particular problem because you can’t give yourself a clean DIY trim at home. Head on over to Albany Aveda hair salons for your trimming needs and make sure your curly hair is growing properly.

Comb from the Bottom Up!

This might seem like an odd hack for women that don’t have curly hair but for those that too, it’s a lifesaver! Women with curly hair know the struggle of brushing or combing from above down, pulling their scalp and forming even more tangles than before. The trick is to begin from the bottom and move the comb upwards gently to effectively detangle those knotted curls.

Use the Right Comb

Brushes don’t usually work on women with thick curly hair and not all combs work either. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle your hair without breaking any strands or giving yourself a headache. A bristle brush could potentially ruin your natural curl and make them look frizzy and unmanageable so steer clear from brushes if you have thick curls!

Use the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Good hair care product brands like Aveda have separate lines of shampoos and conditioners for different hair types. Choose the right shampoo and conditioner that will suit your curls. Use one that is hydrating and contains glycerin to moisturize and make your curls shine. Curly hair has a tendency of looking dull and dry so moisturizing and hydrating them with the right shampoo and conditioner is essential.
