It’s no secret that curly hair is prone to more dryness than straight hair. Due to its coiled shape, the natural oils from your scalp can’t make their way down the strands which means more dryness. Here are some methods you can use to help manage your dry strands.
Mayonnaise:
Not only is this a super cheap option, it’s easy to find and you might even already have it in your refrigerator. It’s loaded with proteins, which are super healthy for dry strands.
Eggs:
You can use protein rich eggs as supplement for many different curl care masks. Try mixing up masks with a variety of ingredients like olive oil, yogurt, milk, or coconut oil to use as deep conditioning treatment.
Almond oil:
You can warm up almond oil and use it to do a dry massage through your curls to help stimulate healthy curl growth and moisture. Apply the oil to your scalp using your finger tips and work it lightly through your strands. Allow it to sit overnight for a great treatment. Shampoo out in the morning using a gentle cleansing shampoo and follow ups with your favorite conditioner.
Olive oil:
You can use olive oil similarly to how you would use almond oil to help hydrate parched strands. If you’d like an extra boost of hydration you can mix olive oil and eggs, then apply then to your curls and allow it to sit overnight.
Apple cider vinegar:
ACV is great for dry curls for a variety of reasons. It helps rebalance your scalp’s pH levels, which can help minimize the issues that cause dryness. It also will smooth down your curl’s cuticles, which will lock in moisture. To get the benefits of this all natural treatment you can apply ACV in the shower from scalp to ends and rinse with cool water. Enjoy shiny, healthy, bouncy curls!
