Curly hair can be a blessing or a curse, depending on the person you ask. It adds volume to your locks and texture to your style. It’s also prone to split ends and breakage, due to all the twists and turns each strand of hair contains. Therefore, regardless if you love it or hate it, having curly hair means you need to use special curly hair care tactics.

Brushing
Most brushes and combs tear up curls and cause frizz, so it’s always better to style your hair using your fingers or a pick. Never use an old-fashioned brush with tons of soft bristles. These brushes will turn even the slightest curl into instant kinky frizz.

Washing
Washing curly hair takes a delicate hand and an even more delicate shampoo. Since your hair is so easily damaged, you don’t want to use a harsh cleanser that strips away all the oils, even if you happen to have curly hair that’s oily.

Women with curly hair also need to be gentle when actually working the shampoo into their hair. The common, circular scrubbing motion will only tangle up your hair, not help it look clean. Instead, use a simple stroke to coat and lather the hair with shampoo. Then just rinse as you usually would and move on to conditioning.
