Basic rules for grooming hair
Curls of this structure are famous for their fragility.and unruliness, so they require special attention. What are the basic rules to follow when caring for curly locks? First, moisturize them. Without enough moisture, curls become weak, so it is so important to regularly use moisturizing hair conditioners. Today, cosmetics stores offer a wide range of conditioners that vary in quality and price. Having chosen the right one for your hair type, use it after each wash. Apply this product along the entire length of the curls (approximately 5 centimeters from the roots) and leave for 10-15 minutes, and then comb. Secondly, dry your hair correctly. A diffuser hair dryer is best for curls, since it does not have a very aggressive flow of hot air. To keep the curls elastic and give them shape, dry the curls not completely, but about 50 percent, so that they dry on their own. If you have time, let your hair dry completely on its own, and to give your hair shape and texture, you can squeeze the damp curls with your hands every 15 minutes while drying. In order not to "crumple" your hair and not to damage the shape of the curls, do not make a "turban" out of a towel on your head, instead, just squeeze your hair lightly. Thirdly, comb your hair correctly. Never do this immediately after washing! Short strands can be combed from the roots, but long ones are better from the ends, gradually moving upwards. As for the comb, it is better to choose wooden or natural bristle brushes.
