Washing very curly hair.

As a rule of thumb, the tighter the curl, the less often you need to wash your hair, in order to avoid it becoming too dry and therefore frizzy. We recommend every four to five days to keep it looking good.

For afro or tightly curled hair, the first tip is to wash it in cool water which helps to reduce damage and use moisture-rich products to rehydrate the hair which will help to add shine and curl definition.

A hair mask is highly recommended for an extra moisture boost and should be combed through with a wide-toothed comb or a Denman-type brush.

For men with less curly hair, more frequent washing may be necessary, particularly in shorter styles, but you still need to make sure you are choosing your products carefully.

There are many shampoos and conditioners on the market specifically designed for curly hair care which will ensure that your curls will remain in the best condition without suffering from product overload which can result in greasy limp hair, definitely not the look you want to achieve!
