The Do's and Don'ts of Styling Your Curly Hair and How Curl up CG Friendly Products Helps Hair Styling

Any Curlie knows how crucial styling is, but sometimes it can be one of the trickiest steps in CG routine. Read on to find out exactly how we may be falling short in keeping our locks healthy, gorgeous, and defined!

Do's of Styling Curly Hair

1. Start Deep Conditioning:
A deep conditioner penetrates the hair shaft to hydrate from within, unlike regular conditioners that smooth the hair's surface. Deep conditioning is essential for restoring dry, coarse hair and should be incorporated into your routine for an extra hydration boost. Adding heat during deep conditioning can enhance its effectiveness, resulting in bouncy, well-hydrated curls.

2. Employ the Plopping Method:
The plopping method involves tying or "plopping" your hair on top of your head using a cotton T-shirt or microfiber towel. This method helps absorb excess water and product without causing frizz, allowing you to shower before bed without risking your curl definition.

3. Use Satin and/or Silk:
Reducing friction is key to preventing frizz. Opt for satin or silk pillowcases, which are gentle on your curls and minimize the harsh interaction that can occur with traditional pillow materials, helping your hair stay smooth and frizz-free.

4. Give Your Hair Unconditional Love:
The most important "Do" is to love your hair unconditionally. When you care for your curls with love and attention, the results will speak for themselves-healthy, beautiful hair that shines.

Don'ts of Styling Curly Hair

1. Don't Comb the Hair:
Curly hair's beauty lies in its natural curl definition and volume. Combing dry hair disrupts this curl pattern, causing frizz and breakage. Instead, detangle your hair when it's soaking wet and conditioned, using a wide-toothed comb or your fingers. This method ensures smooth detangling without damaging the curls. While dry combing is generally discouraged, it can be done during the pre-poo step with a wide-toothed comb, but not after styling when the hair is dry.

2. Don't Wash Your Hair Too Much:
Curly hair is naturally drier than straight hair because the natural oils from the scalp take longer to travel down the hair shaft. Washing your hair too frequently strips these oils, leaving your curls dry and frizzy. It's recommended to wash your hair with shampoo, conditioner, and stylers only once every 3-4 days. For those who need to wash more often due to lifestyle, consider co-washing (washing with conditioner) instead of using shampoo every time to maintain moisture.

3. Diffuse. Don't Blow Dry:
Using a hairdryer directly on curly hair without a diffuser can cause frizz and reduce curl definition, leaving hair looking almost straight and unruly. A diffuser attachment distributes air evenly, preserving curl shape and volume. It's best to use the diffuser on a low-medium setting with the lowest heat possible to maintain well-defined, voluminous curls. Using a cold setting is also an option to minimize heat damage.

4. Don't Buy Hair Products Without Reading The Ingredients:
Not all hair products are suitable for curly hair, and some ingredients can be harmful. Before purchasing, it's crucial to read the ingredients list to avoid products containing silicones and harsh sulfates, which can dry out and damage curls. Selecting products with curl-friendly ingredients ensures better results and healthier hair.

5. Don't Sleep With Wet Hair:
Sleeping with wet hair can lead to breakage of curl clumps and frizz due to the friction caused by tossing and turning during the night. In some cases, it can even lead to fungal infections. To maintain curl definition and avoid damage, make sure your hair is fully dried before going to bed. Use a cotton T-shirt or microfiber towel to dry your hair gently, avoiding rough materials like terry towels, which can exacerbate frizz. You can also air-dry or diffuse your hair before sleeping.

Conclusion:
By avoiding common mistakes and embracing these positive practices, you can ensure your curly hair remains healthy, defined, and beautiful. Remember, the key to great curls is understanding your unique hair needs and treating your locks with the care they deserve.
