If you have curly hair, you probably know how tricky it can be to style it perfectly. But with the right routine, you can achieve picture-perfect curls that look natural and effortless. Here’s a 5 step routine that you can follow to get the perfect curls you’ve always wanted.
Step 1: Cleanse Thoroughly
The first step in achieving picture-perfect curls is to make sure your hair is clean. Wash your hair thoroughly, making sure to remove any product build-up or dirt that might be present. You can use a sulfate-free shampoo that is gentle on your hair.
After washing, gently squeeze out the excess water from your hair – don’t rub your hair with a towel as it can create frizz.
Step 2: Apply conditioner
Once your hair is clean, apply conditioner to your hair. Choose a conditioner that is suitable for your hair type, and avoid over-applying as it can weigh down your curls. Distribute the conditioner evenly all over your hair using a wide-toothed comb, and let it sit for several minutes before rinsing it off with water.
Step 3: Apply a curl enhancer product
After washing and conditioning your hair, it’s time to apply a product that will enhance your curls. Choose a product that is suitable for your hair type and apply it on your hair evenly – don’t forget that your roots need some product too. This product will help improve the definition of your curls, and make them smoother.
One great option is a leave-in conditioner that is not sticky or heavy, and contains ingredients that will add moisture to your curls.
Step 4: Diffuse dry or air-dry
Next, it’s time to dry your hair. You can either diffuse dry with a hair dryer and a diffuser attachment while scrunching your hair or air-dry your hair – this helps make your natural curls defined and frizz-free. Brushing or combing your hair while it’s down will create Frizz, so dry your hair with flip method flopping your head towards downward to prevent floor from damage!
Step 5: Maintain & nourish
Finally, keep in mind that curls need some maintenance, so nourishing them with the right kind of hair oil as well as deep conditioning is crucial. You can nourish your hair roots and strands with your choice of light hair oil using palm of your hand’s touch technique. Consider doing the same also on demanding scalp areas for a healthy scalp. Once a month giving a deep conditioning treatment with natural ingredients or over the shelf product of choice is equally important.
