Our Expert Tips on Managing Curly Hair
What causes curly hair to frizz?
Curly hair is naturally prone to frizz due to its unique structure. But frizz isn’t inevitable! Understanding the causes can help you keep your curls smooth, defined and frizz-free. Here are some common culprits:
Dryness: Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair, making it more susceptible to frizz. Keep your curls hydrated with the right products and techniques.
Humidity: High humidity levels can cause curly hair to absorb moisture from the air, leading to frizz. Combat this with humidity-resistant styling products.
Damage: Chemical treatments, heat styling, and rough handling can damage the hair cuticle, leading to frizz. Protect your curls with gentle care and heat protectants.
Product Buildup: Using too much product or not clarifying your hair regularly can lead to product buildup, weighing down curls and causing frizz. Use a clarifying shampoo once a week or as needed.
How to wash and style curly hair
Choose the Right Shampoo: Opt for a sulphate-free, hydrating shampoo specifically designed for curly hair.
Condition, Condition, Condition: Curly hair craves moisture! Use a generous amount of conditioner, focusing on the ends and avoiding the scalp.
Detangle Gently: Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to detangle your hair while the conditioner is still in.
Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all product is rinsed out to prevent buildup and weigh-down.
Plop or “Micro-Plop”: After washing, gently wrap your hair in a microfibre towel (or an old cotton t-shirt) to absorb excess water without causing frizz. This technique is known as “plopping”. For shorter hair, try “micro-plopping” by scrunching upwards to encourage curl formation.
Apply Styling Products: While your hair is still damp, apply your favourite styling products, such as hair curling cream, curling gel or mousse for defined curls.
Air Dry or Diffuse: Air drying is ideal for minimising frizz. If you’re short on time, use a diffuser on low heat, gently cupping your curls and avoiding excessive movement.
By following these tips and using the right products, you can master the art of washing and styling curly hair, achieving gorgeous, frizz-free curls every time.
Your Stress Levels and Curly Hair Health
Did you know that stress can affect your hair health? High-stress levels can trigger the release of cortisol, a hormone that can lead to inflammation and potentially disrupt your hair growth cycle. While stress isn’t the sole cause of hair problems, it can contribute to dryness, breakage and even hair loss in some cases.
If you’re experiencing stress, prioritise self-care and stress management techniques. Exercise, meditation and spending time in nature can all help lower cortisol levels and promote overall well-being, including the health of your hair and scalp!
