The more textured your hair is the harder it is to look after and style how you want it but not when you\u2019ve got the best curly hair tips under your sleeve. It\u2019s crazy how long you\u2019ve gone up until now just not knowing how best to style your curly hair without compromising the length that appears just after you\u2019ve had a shower. It\u2019s time to start using all the best products that were made for your hair type and to take control of that frizzy-dizzy situation.<\/p>\n
One of the best curly hair tips you can follow is to agree to never partake in the horror that is dry-brushing. Do not, I repeat, do not ever<\/em> brush your curly hair when it is completely dry. Not only will you struggle to even get a hairbrush through it but even the likes of the trusty tangle teezer won\u2019t be able to help itself but pull on any knots and tangles you have which will result in many clumps of torn hair strands. Instead, the best time to brush and detangle your hair is when it is wet and full of conditioner. This will allow the brush to ease through your curly locks nice and gently.<\/p>\n \n If you\u2019re wondering why I\u2019m suggesting for you to use such a thing as apple cider vinegar on your hair is because it\u2019s good for your scalp. A healthy, cleansed and nourished scalp is vital to promote hair growth and keep your hair in good condition from root to tip. If you have a sensitive scalp, this ingredient is one of the best you could possibly use too. We recommend Shea Moisture\u2019s Apple Cider Vinegar and Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo which may look like black treacle but I assure you it works wonders. By following this second step in our list of curly hair tips, you\u2019ll be able to go more days without washing your hair so you can focus on topping up its moisture each day rather than stripping it of its natural oils too many times a week by washing.<\/p>\n This is by far one of the most useful curly hair tips and that is to welcome oils with an open heart. The best thing about having curly hair, unlike straight strands, is that because your hair shaft forms lots of \u2018S\u2019 shapes, your natural oils can\u2019t travel too far. This means that it\u2019s almost impossible for your hair to ever look greasy. However, it also means that you need to take the matters of nourishing the mid-lengths and ends of your hair into your own hands. Coconut and castor oil is a miracle combination and you can even buy it in jars already mixed. The thicker and more viscous the oils you use are, the more they will weigh your curls down to keep some of that post-shower length.<\/p>\n After you\u2019ve followed these curly hair tips, the next step is to part your hair and put it into two tight plaits. One of the best times to do this routine is before you go to bed so you\u2019re giving all those products a good 6 or 8 hours to work their magic before you start manipulating your strands by styling it in the morning. Just pop a towel on your pillow and a silk\/satin headscarf either around your head or on top of your pillow too if (like me) you\u2019re terrible at tying them.<\/p>\n Finally, this is the best of the curly hair tips that I\u2019ve chosen to save till last. Now, if you clicked through to this article you\u2019ve been wanting to know how to prevent your curls from sucking up every ounce of moisture until they decrease by about 3 inches and shrink into super tight ringlets. So, after your night-before prep, spritz on some heat protectant (the oils you used will also act as a heat defence and aid the drying process) then part your hair into sections about three or four fingers wide, stretch out your curls by gently pulling on the ends and holding that position whilst you run your hair dryer through quickly. What this will do is dry your curls whilst they\u2019re elongated and boom, you\u2019ve got immediate length and have banished that shrinkage!<\/p>\n \n The more textured your hair is the harder it is to look after and style how you want it but not when you\u2019ve got the best curly hair tips under your sleeve.
