Curl Maintenance
Maintaining luscious curls is no easy task.
Varying climates, temperatures, activities, stress levels, etc. can all affect the appearance of your curly hair. Let’s face it…curly hair is temperamental.
Over conditioning and product build up can weigh down the hair, rendering it lifeless.
What’s the key? A regular hair care regime (including diet, exercise, and vitamins), proper upkeep, and the right products.
Curl Maintenance Tips:
Nothing is more unattractive then sparse, stringy ends, especially on girls/women with curly hair.
Regular trims should be a part of your hair care regimen.
Curly hair should be trimmed at least every 3 months.
Don’t just trust anyone with your gorgeous locks. Ensure that your stylist is familiar with styling and cutting curly hair.
Heat things up a bit! Give yourself a deep treatment once a month.
Harsh temperatures contribute to dry, brittle hair. Counter it with a little heat. The heat opens up the inner cortex and penetrates the hair shaft. The conditioning oil strengthens the hair shaft and lubricates dry, itchy scalps. When you rinse out the oil, the shaft closes and locks in moisture.
A must for curly hair!
Give your hair a break! Refresh your dry, unmanageable curls with a touch of essential oils. Pomegranate, avocado, jojoba, coconut, and olive oil are great moisturizers. Shampoo and condition hair. Apply oil of your choice.
Gently comb oils through hair. Fine hair – use less oil, to your liking. Medium/coarse hair – use more oil, to your liking.
Wear hair in protective style (e.g. bun) for 24 hours or less depending on result. You will find that your curls are soft, revived, and more manageable your next shampoo!
CAUTION: Avoid products that contain mineral and/or petrolatum oil as an ingredient. Do not use products with these ingredients for your curly hair or scalp. Both of these synthetic oils coat and suffocate the hair shaft blocking moisture out. Further, they clog pores in your scalp and can retard hair growth. Read your labels.

What if…….????
Curly hair becomes too dry and frizzy if shampooed too often, as this robs your hair and scalp of its natural oils.
Always use a moisturizing shampoo to help hydrate your scalp.

Rinse hair with warm water, apply conditioner, and rinse well. This will give you a clean start and provide added conditioning and moisture without stripping away protective oils.

Beside daily moisturing the hair with good moisturer, its best that what choose to use as a washing agent need to be able to clean & cares for the hairs at the same time.
To Shampoo:
Some girls with curly hairs will shampoo thier hair, and others choose to skip shampooing and opt for conditioning rinses only.
Shampooing curly hair weekly isn’t a necessity, curly girls can use a conditioner to effectively rinse away excess dirt and oil. However, it is recommended that you shampoo curly hair at least once a month, 2-3x is optimal. (pls consult your stylist for better result)
Avoid using shampoos that strip your curly hair of essential elements, leaving your hair feeling dry and unmanageable.
How to Properly Shampoo Curly Hair:
Rinse hair and scalp using warm water (never hot water, as it can dry out the hair and scalp). Apply a small amount of shampoo into the palm of your hand, rub together and evenly coat the scalp.
Massage gently with your fingertips. Rinse thoroughly.
Repeat only if your scalp is oily or if you have a build up of products on the hair.
Additional Shampooing Tips:
Before shampooing curly hair, comb a coat of conditioner evenly throughout your tresses. (A long lock or ringlet of hair)
Rinse it well. This extra step will add extra conditioning before you shampoo.

In-order to have that long & beautiful curly hair, not only does the technique & chemicals used to perform the perm will determine the result, but the daily maintainace would greatly affect the look & curl of the hair.
Naturally curly hair needs moisture (not grease or drying alcohol – there is a difference in drying and fatty alcohols) to restore its natural luster, beauty, and healthy state.
Unfortunately, most ethnic products contain cheap oils that coat and weigh curly hair down. Non-ethnic products contain drying ingredients that rob curly hair it of its natural sheen. You should find product that does not contain any cheap oils or drying ingredients .
Try looking for moisturer that contain quality ingredients, such as aloe leaf juice, mango, shea and murmur butter, jojoba, avocado and coconut oil, ingredient.
Daily moisturing the hair after wash ,guarantee to put the bounce back into your curly hair!
