First, how many of these curly hair challenges are you familiar with?
Common Curly Hair Challenges
-
Hair Knots - Waking up to a bird’s nest of tangles is no treat. Curly hair can become a knotty mess and brushing it in the morning or after showering can become a tug of tresses war.
- Frizz - Curly girls suffer from the frizz way more than other textures of hair. Curly hair is naturally dry. The strands are spiral shaped and it’s harder for your natural scalp oils to slide down the hair and keep it hydrated. When the dry hair cuticle lifts, the result is frizzy hair.
- Breakage - Everyday wear and tear while you try your best to care for your curls can lead to damage and breakage.
Essential Tips to Take Care of Your Curly Hair
With a few easy changes, you’ll say goodbye to hair knot nightmares, frightening frizz and boo hoo breakage!
1. Help for Hair Knots
It’s a breeze to brush your hair, in the morning, after showering, or anytime when you know a few curly hair tricks. First, start at the ends of hair. Brush through the bottom and work your way up. Next, be sure you are brushing with a Flexi Brush. This unique brush has a curved shape and flexible bristles and body designed to gently detangle hair while preventing damage.
2. Forget about Frizz
We can’t change the shape of your curly girl strands, but since we know that lack of retaining moisture is the #1 cause of frizz, let’s tackle that. The secret to taming frizz is all about locking in moisture. Wrap your hair in a gauze cotton or cozy bamboo towel post-shower to keep those strands happy. Leave it on just long enough to get out, start getting ready and apply your choice of hair product, or leave it on longer to allow a natural and quick drying time without using a damaging blow dryer.
3. Bye Bye Breakage
Say goodbye to painful plastic claws and other hair damaging accessories. Curly girls need to be gentle on their hair, while still rocking their favorite updos. Flexi sport hair clips and Flexi Clips (previously called Flexi 8 hair clips), are unique, no slip clips that don’t put any pressure on your hair. No pulling, tugging, damage or pain. The flexible design of these curly hair clips keeps your hair styled beautifully. They’re perfect for hair with a natural curl pattern: gently securing your style one time with no fussing throughout the day.
4. Sun Protection
Enjoy sunny days without hair damaging rays. Pop on a hat to prevent the sun’s rays from drying out your curls.
5. Hair Washing
All curly hair is not equal and some can get away with more frequent washing than others. But all curly girls share a common struggle: those precious natural oils have a tough time navigating the twists and turns, making your hair prone to dryness. Try washing your hair less than you currently do. Missing just one wash can work wonders in taming the dryness beast.
6. Use Hair Masque
Try using an intense hair masque treatment enriched with Shea Butter and Moroccan Argan Oil to add that extra moisture and restore your hair's health. It penetrates the cuticle deeply to rebuild strength, restore elasticity and hydrate dry or damaged hair and helps curly hair shine and bounce better than ever before.
7. Protect Your Hair at Night
Caring for your hair while you are sleeping? Is that even possible? You bet!
