You can’t have the best curls possible without some kind of product. Everyone has different kinds of curls, so not all products are universally great. One might work for you but not another person.
Everyone’s curls are different. You could have big curls or tiny spirals. Some curly hair is drier than others. You have to experiment if you want to find the best product for your hair. If one product doesn’t work, find another one.
You need to start with a good shampoo. Shampoo can really dry out your hair because it can strip your hair of it’s natural moisture. Make sure you get one made especially for dry or curly hair. Also, don’t shampoo too often. Once to three times a week is plenty to shampoo. Otherwise, just rinse and scrub your scalp.
Now you need to condition your hair once it is clean. Stay away from thin cheap conditioners like Vo5 or Suave. They are very thin and won’t do much for you hair. Use a conditioner that is thick and let it sit on your hair for a least a minute before you rinse it out.
Condition every time you wash your hair. This is important to keep your hair as moisturized as possible. Apply more conditioner on the ends and less on the scalp. The ends are older and usually drier which is why they need more moisture.
Conditioning is the most important step towards beautiful curly hair. Don’t skip it! If your hair still feels dry, add a deep treatment into the mix. Use a deep conditioner at least once a month but as often as once a week for extra conditioning and moisturizing needs.
Once you are clean and conditioned, you will be styling. Styling products are important to get the right curls. If you skip the styling products, your hair may frizz up and just get unruly. There are several different types of styling products you can use. Whichever you choose I recommend always starting with a leave-in conditioner first. This ensures that you won’t lose moisture throughout the day.
Finally, use a styling product that will cut back on the frizz and hold the curls in place. You should use either a gel or a mousse, and you can add a serum if you want for extra frizz control.
