When it comes to caring for and maintaining your curly hair, there are a lot of helpful tips and suggestions out there. There can be a lot of different, contradicting information about what you should or shouldn’t do to get healthy, fabulous and amazing curls, so figuring out what you should do can be overwhelming. You are the only one who can figure out exactly what works for you and your curls, however, if you don’t follow anything else, we recommend you consider considering this tip .
Are you ready for the big secret to healthy, gorgeous curls? Ok, here it is! The secret is; don’t wash all of the conditioner out of your curls on wash day. We know, it sounds simple and almost too good to be true, so why should you do it? The answer is also pretty simple; curly hair is dry hair. It’s much harder for your natural oils and sebum to make it down the shaft of your hair, which can result in drier, easier to damage or frizz curls.
Once you’ve cleansed your curls and conditioned, just do a quick rinse out but leave most of the conditioner where it is. When applying your conditioner, try to avoid adding it to your roots, instead focusing on the midshaft to ends. This will keep your curls from becoming greasy or weighed down. Pick a conditioner that’s right for you, your curl’s texture, weight and type as well as your budget. Since you’ll be leaving some of the conditioner in instead of immediately rinsing it all out, you might find you use less products such as creams, balms and leave in conditioners.
