A Small Go-To-Guide for Curly/Wavy Haired People

By Carelyn Tiburcio on May 28, 2016

Maintaining curly hair is quite a struggle. When I first started college, I realized that I had no time to be blow-drying my hair all the time. Therefore, I started leaving my hair natural. It took me a while to find the perfect curly/wavy hair routine that worked best for me, but it was eventually accomplished. You can accomplish this as well! This article is a small go-to-guide for curly/wavy haired girls. It should give you an overview on what you should be doing with your hair.

First of all, I have to emphasize the fact that curly/ wavy hair needs moisture. I cannot stress how important moisture is for this hair type. In order to prevent my hair from getting dry, I leave a treatment in my hair for about an hour. I do this about once or twice a week. Make sure to get a treatment specifically for moisture. I use this one because of the argan oil. I also use coconut oil instead of my usual treatment sometimes. It makes my curls soft and bouncy.

Make sure the products that you use are sulfate-free. Sulfate isn’t curly hair’s best friend.  Make sure the shampoo, conditioner, cream, etc are sulfate free. Also, there are many products that are specifically for curly haired people.

Something important that you must know is the fact that you’re going to need to experiment with many different hair products. Lately, I have been using ORS Curls Unleashed: Curl Defining Cream (Shea Butter & Honey). Of course, I do not like to always stick to the same products. I try to mix it up and to see what works best for my natural hair. It’s all about trial and error.

As I previously stated, curly/wavy hair tends to get drier than regular hair types. Using heating tools just makes your hair more and more dry so try not to use them often. Of course, there are going to be times when you want to use them to style your hair differently and that’s alright! Just make sure you’re using heat protector. But, heating tools should not be used all the time if you want to keep your curls nice and healthy.

This article should give you a general overview of how to take care of your curly/wavy hair. These tips should also give you a good start on how to start maintaining natural hair if you want to stop overheating it . Remember that your natural hair is beyond beautiful and you should always embrace it!
