How to Take Care of Naturally Curly Hair

Natural curly hair can become an asset if you know the proper way to maintain it. Take care of your curly hair by following the below tips & you’ll surely see the result.

 

Cleansing

When washing natural hair, it’s important that you use cleaning products that don’t dry out your hair or strip it off too much of its natural oils. These oils act as a natural conditioner for curly hair, so it’s important that you keep as much of it in your strands as possible.

The most popular hair cleanser out there is shampoo, which can be very drying because of the sulfates it contains. However, curly-haired girls are lucky to have the option of sulfate-free shampoos, which are sold by many brands like Shea Moisture, ORS and Sofn’free. These shampoos are much gentler on natural hair and don’t strip it like their sulfate-containing counterparts.

Also highly popular and effective at gently cleansing curly hair for women are co-washes. A co-wash is a conditioner wash that provides softness and moisture to hair while providing cleaning properties. Many curly girls use regular rinse-out conditioners to co-wash, but many brands have formulated real co-washes that contain Cocamidopropyl betaine, a gentle cleanser that works extremely well and isn’t always found in most regular rinse-out conditioners.

For more natural methods of washing hair, clay or mud washes are extremely popular for those who prefer to stay away from chemicals and commercial products altogether. These washes clean without stripping, detoxify and soothe natural hair and also provide soothing properties to the scalp, an important factor in hair growth and hair care. Bentonite, rhassoul and kaolin clay are the 3 popular clays that many girls with naturally curly hair have turned to.
