How To Moisturize Curly Hair
Every curly hair queen wants that frizz-free, hydrated, defined curl look you see in magazines and on TV. What if we told you that moisturizing curly hair is easier than you think? All you need is a few curly hair products that will help you achieve hydrated curls with frizz-free, defined curls! We’re here to show you the way, so here are some tips on how to moisturize curly hair.
Why does curly hair need moisturazation?
Moisturizing is important for all hair types, but especially curly hair! The unique structure of curls prevents the natural oils produced by the scalp from traveling down to the ends of the hair. This leaves your hair prone to breakage, frizz, and damaged curls. That’s why it’s important to give your hair a little extra boost to keep it healthy and hydrated.
How to moisturize curly hair
–Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
Let’s start with the basics: wash and condition your hair. We know it’s tempting to grab any old shampoo or conditioner that comes along. However, it’s important to have a good shampoo and conditioner for curly hair. Say goodbye to sulfates—these harsh chemicals can strip your hair of its natural oils.
Curly hair tends to be more delicate and prone to dryness, so wash your hair with a gentle cleanser that won’t strip away the natural oils your hair needs.
–Moisture is key
As we know by now, curly hair craves moisture, but once it’s hydrated, it’s important to lock it all in! Opt for deep treatments with hydrating ingredients—natural oils are your best friend. For example, we love the cannabis seed oil in our GLOSS.ME Hydrating Treatment Mask because it not only locks in moisture without weighing hair down, but it also restores elasticity, reduces frizz, and strengthens hair. To use, let it soak for a few minutes (play your favorite song in the shower) and rinse. Hello, healthy, moisturized hair!
–Beware of breakage
Over-detangling or using hot tools can cause breakage, which leads to frizz and dull hair. Our best recommendation for preventing breakage is to use a leave-in treatment right out of the shower, before combing your hair. The reason this is a great option is that a leave-in treatment gives your hair more slip, making it easier to detangle and comb, reducing unwanted breakage. It also seals in moisture and protects against heat styling, so when you use your diffuser, you’re less likely to lose moisture and your hair will be fully protected.
–Apply a hydrating styling cream to get defined curls
Picture this: Your curls are freshly washed, you feel great, but something is missing. Enter curl balm, your secret weapon for the finishing touch. Curl balms are infused with moisturizing ingredients, which not only add an extra dose of hydration, but also define your curls and control frizz. When your hair is slightly damp, apply a quarter-sized amount all over your hair, then gently scrunch or style (twist, wrap, etc.) to enhance curl definition. The result? Beautiful, bouncy curls that are ready to rock anytime.
-Trim to prevent split ends.
We all know that split ends can cause more breakage and make your hair look frizzy, so getting rid of them is essential to maintaining your beautiful curls. Especially after putting so much effort into moisturizing your hair, it’s important to keep the ends as healthy as the roots. They’re also the driest because they’re furthest from the scalp, which produces all the moisturizing oils. As a result, they’re more likely to split. Everyone is different and depends on the condition of their hair. Whether it’s 6-8 weeks, 3-4 months, or 6-8 months, give yourself a little trim. Your curls will thank you!
The takeaway from all this? Moisturizing your curly hair is like giving it a tall, refreshing glass of water. Remember, it’s all about embracing your natural texture and giving it the love it deserves. So go ahead and pamper your curls. Say goodbye to breakage and split ends by detangling your hair with care and trimming it regularly. You’re well on your way to sporting a head full of beautifully hydrated curls that are sure to turn heads. Get ready to take on the world, one fabulous curl at a time!
