10 tips for the best curls
Tip 1: Use a good shampoo without sulphates
Have you ever checked the ingredients list on your shampoo? Chances are you've come across SLS (sulfates). Sulfates are harsh cleansers that not only strip away dirt and oil, but also your scalp's natural organic matter. This can lead to dry hair, a dry scalp, and even dandruff. Therefore, choose a mild shampoo like Bring the Bounce Shampoo or Living Proof Curl Shampoo . These shampoos cleanse your hair without drying it out. Also check out our products for curly hair .
Tip 2: Always use a conditioner after washing
Conditioner is essential for caring for curly hair. It creates a protective layer around your hair, preventing breakage and keeping it hydrated. Try the Curl Defining Conditioner from the Ecru Curl Perfect Anti-Frizz Conditioner to make your curls soft and bouncy.
Tip 3: Use a styling product such as a cream
Styling creams help prevent frizz and give your curls definition without weighing them down. A must-have for anyone with curls! Our favorite is the Curl Crème , which moisturizes your hair and keeps it in place.
Tip 4: Use a nourishing hair mask regularly
A hair mask is a deep treatment that provides your hair with extra nourishment. Ideal for dry and brittle curls. You can try the Coco Moisture Mask or the IdHair Curly Xclusive Protein Treatment , for example . Apply the mask to slightly damp hair for optimal results.
Tip 5: Use water when styling your curls
Did you know that styling your curls is your best friend? Apply your styling products to wet hair and then style it. This is also called scrunching. A product like Rica Curl Reviving Spray helps revitalize your curls and reduce frizz.
Tip 6: Dry your curls with a hair diffuser
A diffuser is an essential tool for drying curls. It often distributes heat and helps keep your curls in place. Browse our collection of diffusers and choose the perfect one for your hair type.
Tip 7: Brush your hair while washing
Dry brushing is a no-go for curls, but it can actually help strengthen your curl pattern while washing. Use a good brush, like one from our hairbrush collection , while you're conditioning your hair.
Tip 8: Use a styling brush
A styling brush can help you add more definition to your curls. These special brushes are designed for curly hair and make a huge difference in your styling routine. Discover our styling brushes for beautiful results.
Tip 9: Use a special towel for your curls
Rough cotton towels can cause frizz. Instead, choose a microfiber towel like the Curl Coach Anti-Frizz Hair Towel . This is gentler on your hair and prevents potential breakage.
Tip 10: Trial and error
Finding the right routine and products for your curls can take some time. Experiment with different techniques and products to find what works best. Give your hair at least three months to get used to a new routine.
