Why curly hair needs a different approach

Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair because natural oils have a harder time traveling down the curl pattern. It can also be more prone to frizz, tangles and shrinkage. That is why curls usually look and feel their best when the cut, products and styling method are chosen for your texture.

Curly hair care basics at home

Start with moisture. Choose a shampoo and conditioner made for dry or textured hair, and add a deep conditioning treatment when your curls feel dry or brittle.

Detangle gently. Work through tangles with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while your hair is wet and full of conditioner, rather than brushing it dry.

Limit frizz. Squeeze out extra water with a soft towel or cotton T-shirt instead of rubbing, let curls air-dry when you can, and use a heat protectant if you diffuse or style with heat.
