Do you feel as though your curls aren’t all they could be? If so, you’re probably not alone! Many curly girls find themselves in a rut at various times in their curl care journey. Like everything, curls can be a struggle to maintain. If you want to change the way you feel about your curls, try this challenge for wonderful curls. Give yourself a week to give this challenge a try, and let us know how it goes.
Try This Challenge For Wonderful Curls
Skip the comb and brush:
Instead of using a tool to detangle your curls, use only your fingers. This allows you to carefully work through every knot and tangle individually without causing damage.
Don’t use protective styles:
While this can be tricky, especially during colder months, give your curls a break from a protective style this week. Allow your curls to be free, and make sure you’re regularly hydrating. This will give your scalp and strands a break from the pulling of a protective style.
Trade out your shampoo:
If you’re feeling like you need to cleanse your curls during this time, trade out your shampoo for a cowash. Cowash will cleanse your curls in a gentle way without stripping out natural oils.
Treat your curls to silk:
If you’re still resting your curls on a cotton pillowcase, treat yourself to a new silk or satin one. There are a lot of affordable options, and it’s totally worth the expense. Silk or satin allows curls to slip across the surface without drawing out moisture.
Deep condition:
During this week, you should definitely be treating your curls to a luxurious deep conditioning treatment. Cover your freshly washed curls with a moisturizing deep conditioner. Cover your curls with a plastic shower cap, and apply heat to allow the product to deeply penetrate the strands. Rinse with cool water to smooth back down the cuticle and lock in moisture.
Scalp massages:
Is there any better treat than a scalp massage? We don’t think so! Therefore, we’re going to recommend you give yourself a couple scalp massages during this week. This will break up any dandruff or build up that might’ve accumulated on your scalp, and increase blood flow. This means your curls will grow faster and be stronger.
