By their nature, curly hair has some characteristics that are the cause of such phenomena as dryness and brittleness, a tendency to fluffy, a complex process of combing. Similar difficulties in care arise due to special structure of hair rods. Natural properties can lead to dandruff, tangling of curls, section of the ends.

In order for curly hair to be healthy from the inside and look attractive from the outside, care must be taken to properly care for them. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with all the subtleties and nuances of handling porous curly curls.

Nursing events include several stages.

It is no secret that the health and appearance of curls largely depend on the choice of shampoo, conditioner, mask and other care products. First of all, when buying detergents and care products, it is important to pay attention to the compatibility of chemical components with the structure of the hair itself and with their general condition, with the type of skin of the head.

So, often girls with curly curls give preference rulers that are specifically designed and manufactured for curly hair. However, this approach is only allowed if your hair is completely healthy.

If the curls have any drawbacks, then you should be more careful about the selection of chemical compositions. If the curls are dry and need additional moisturizing, then you need to choose shampoos, which in their composition will contain components such as extract of lotus, witch hazel, cornflower, licorice. And also you should pay attention to funds with coconut and jojoba.

If you attribute their subtlety to the imperfections of hair, then you need to take care of their strengthening and protection. Such functions can provide compounds with horseradish, sage and papain. However, at the same time, it is worth noting that you can not buy and use funds that guarantee an increase in volume. The fact is that such chemical complexes negatively affect the internal structure of the hair, so the curls become more brittle. Thus, you can significantly harm your hair.

If we talk about balms, masks and conditioners, it is important to remember that these funds should provide hair nutrition. These products should saturate the hair with beneficial mineral and organic substances. In addition, balms, masks and conditioners should provide regeneration functions, as well as moisturize the scalp.

The choice of shampoo and care products, although it is important, but does not provide complete care. It is also important to carry out the washing procedure correctly. First of all, all owners of curly hair should take into account the fact that daily washing is not recommended. Such an approach can cause leaching of the protective layer. If you are looking for a more optimal schedule, then 2-3 procedures per week will be sufficient.

It’s also important to remember that the application of shampoo should occur only on the root zone. In the process of 1 washing should be 2 procedures for applying and rinsing shampoo. The opposite situation should occur in relation to conditioners, balms and other care products: they must be applied over the entire length of the hair. It is also important to read the instructions on the packaging: depending on the instructions, different care products must be washed off or left on the hair until completely absorbed.

The use of care products is a desirable but optional factor. However, if you decide to use any balms or conditioners, you should give preference proven brands who have a good reputation, and their products are of high quality. It is advisable to apply shampoo and care products of the same brand.

At the end of the washing procedure, you can not immediately comb the hair: you need to wait for the moment when they are completely dry. To get rid of excess moisture, the curls can be gently patted with a dry towel. However, do not rub them. Besides, you can not go to bed with a wet head. If you wet your hair while swimming in the pool or the sea, then they must be rinsed without fail with fresh water.

You should give preference to natural drying of hair in the open air. Avoid the use of hair dryers and other devices that have a thermal effect on the hair. If you want to reduce the drying time, then you need to use the combined method.To do this, the ends of the hair should be blotted with a towel and squeezed, and the root part of the hair can be dried with a hairdryer with the mandatory use of thermal protective care products (sprays, foams).

As for combing, then for this manipulation it is necessary to use not a massage comb, but a comb comb. The teeth of the comb should be large and infrequent: thus, when combing your hair you will not damage the structure of the curls.
