When it comes to your curls, saving time and money is everything. However, you only want to cut corners if it’s going to lead to amazing curls. Sounds impossible, right? We’re used to spending hours on our curl care regime, and dropping a chunk of change at the store to buy products. With these hacks for natural curls, you’ll save precious time and money.
Dry with a t-shirt: You know that soft old t=shirt your ex left behind? Use it to dry your curls! Ditch the terry cloth towels, as those can cause curls to frizz.
Deep condition with a plastic bag: Everyone has acres of plastic bags shoved under their sink, whether they want to admit it or not. Put them to use! Wrap a bag around your curls when you’re deep conditioning to keep heat and moisture in.
Get a shower mirror: Adding a mirror in your shower can help you see your wash’s process. You’ll know if you’re missing spots, which will make the whole process go more quickly.
Get a hair stopper: Nothing is worse or grosser than drains getting clogged with hair. A shower stopper will catch all those extra strands and keep your pipes from long term damage.
Rinse with cold: Wash curls with lukewarm water and rinse with cold. Cold water will close down your cuticles, helping minimize frizz and add more shine.
Use hair ribbon ties: When you’re tying back your curls, pick up some gentle ribbon ties. You’ll want to avoid using elastic hairbands that can tug and pull on fine, delicate curls. Ribbon ties also won’t leave marks on your hair.
