By now, you should know that curly hair is drier by nature. That's why temperature changes affect our hair type more.
In winter, our hair becomes more vulnerable when exposed to lower temperatures, which can cause breakage, fragility, weakness, and the dreaded frizz.
How do we solve it?
By being consistent with hydration and using products with proteins that help restore and strengthen our mane.
Here are some easy tips for you to incorporate into your care routine during the coldest months of the year. Take note!
1. Hydrate your curls
Get yourself a good oil and apply it from roots to tips the night before washing your hair. Oils not only help to hydrate your hair but also help it to regenerate, detoxify, and restore lost shine . You can also get a good mask and apply it well before washing regularly until you notice your hair returning to its former state.
2. Wash your hair by applying shampoo only to the roots:
It is important that when using shampoo you apply it only to the roots and massage the scalp in a circular motion using your fingertips. Use a gentle shampoo without sulfates or silicones that cleans deeply, and remember not to rub your hair together to avoid breakage.
Next, condition your hair with conditioner, detangle it, and leave it soft and ready for definition.
3. Re-hydrate your mane
When styling curls, it is advisable to use a leave-in conditioner. For this, divide your hair while still wet into sections and distribute it well with your hands or with the help of a comb. A small amount of product is enough. Remember that less is more.
4. It's time to define your curls
There are many products to define and shape curls, but we are fans of products with proteins because, in addition to defining without weighing down, they help restore damaged hair. A good ally is our Styling Curl Gel as its texture is very light, so it won't add weight to your hair and will make your mane look shiny with well-defined and loose curls.
5. Drying curly hair
As soon as you step out of the shower and when you wrap your hair in a towel, remember that it should be microfiber like our microfiber towel made from recycled PET. Always avoid cotton towels as they can cause breakage in your hair. And forget about rubbing your hair with the towel!
If you are going to use a hairdryer, you should know that heat is not good for our curly hair, which is why we recommend that whenever you use a hairdryer, you should do so at very low temperature and power, as this will help prevent the dreaded frizz and keep the curl intact.
