Winter and early spring can be harsh on curls. The dry weather, wind, and elements can all wreak havoc on delicate strands. Protecting your curls is crucial to maintaining their overall health. To protect your strands there are some great butters and oils you can use to help protect your strands.
Shea Butter:
Shea butter is beloved by curlies because it offers excellent protection for your strands. If your curls are dry, brittle and in need of moisture, consider picking up some raw shea butter or products that feature it in your top ingredients.
Olive Oil:
If your curls are prone to frizz, you could start adding olive oil into your curl care routine. It helps manage damage to your strands, softens curls and keeps dandruff from forming. For those curlies who pre poo, this is a great oil to use.
Babassu Oil:
This is a great alternative to coconut oil for those who might have a sensitivity or allergy. It’s a lightweight oil that works to smooth, moisturize and strengthen distressed strands. It also can help soothe an irritated scalp.
Mango Butter:
If you have dry, coarse curls that are prone to damage, you might want to consider picking up some mango butter. This is a great choice for curlies who have very dry, very frizzy hair.
Avocado Oil:
For curls that need a little extra moisturizing, pick up avocado oil. This super oil works to provide moisture from the inside out by deeply penetrating the curl’s cuticle. If your curls are in need of shine, the amino acids will help add back in that lost luster.
JBCO:
If you have fine curls that are difficult to style and in need of volume, pick up some of this oil. It helps moisturize while providing additional strength to fragile, damaged strands.
