Why should you embrace your natural hair?
Embracing my natural hair is something that took me years to do. Although society sometimes considers curly hair to be untamed or unprofessional sometimes, curly hair is exactly the opposite. It is a beautiful feature that should be embraced. By caring for your curly hair, you uncover a new identifying feature that will not only boost your confidence but look amazing. Healthy hair has many benefits such as preventing premature hair loss, preventing diseases and scalp conditions, and by demonstrating an overall reflection of your health.
How can you care for your curly hair?
Caring for curly hair has a variety of simple but time-consuming and tedious methods. The five steps to a good curly hair routine include a good wash, a nice hair mask, a leave-in conditioner, a curl cream, and a mousse or a gel. In order to have a good wash, utilize cold water as well as a repairing hydrating shampoo and conditioner. Olaplex shampoo and conditioners are amazing for this! I would recommend washing your hair 2-3 times a week at most as well, washing your hair too frequently can dry out your hair. Hydrating hair masks should be done at least once a month and minimizing using heat on your hair is crucial. Eating healthy and drinking a sufficient amount of water is also extremely important for the health of your hair.
How can I style my hair?
For styling, a proper leave-in conditioner and curl cream can make or break the look of your curls! Great brands for these include Shea Moisture, ouai, and Not Your Mothers! You can buy these at your local beauty supply stores or even some local drug stores! A great brand for affordable gels is eco-style as well as the girls with curls hair gel. Some great methods to keep frizz-free curls for days is finger coiling, using a Denman brush, or even just brushing the products through your hair. What’s best for your hair will depend on your hair type and the health of your hair.
