THE 10 COMMANDMENTS OF CURLY HAIR
/1- Thou shalt shampoo less and condition more.
Bottom line- shampoo the least amount possible. On non-shampoo days rinse hair thoroughly with warm water and massage the scalp with the pads of your fingers to loosen oil and dirt. Then saturate the mid-shafts and ends with high quality smoothing conditioner.
2- Thou shalt only use Sulfate-Free shampoo.
Sulfate is just a fancy word for 'salt'- enough said. Invest in high quality products if you want high quality results.
3-Thou shalt deep condition once per week.
4-Thou shalt avoid muss-drying hair with terry cloth towels.
Instead use a micro fiber shammy, an old cotton T-shirt, or cut up a soft cotton/flannel bed sheet (that one is my favorite). Squeeze out excess water in downward motions from root to tip- this keeps the cuticle closed and smooth.
5-Thou shalt sleep on a silk pillowcase every night.
6-Thou shalt trim your hair every 8-10 weeks.
7-Thou shalt only use a wide tooth comb or fingers to detangle wet hair.
8-Thou shalt apply curl enhancing products to damp hair... scrunch or defuse-
then it's HANDS OFF!
Once you've applied your product and set your style, avoid touching your hair for the rest of the day. The more you touch- the more you'll frizz and poof.
9-Thou shalt avoid heat tools as much as possible.
Curly hair is naturally more dry- so keep heat exposure to a minimum. When you must use heat always apply a thermal protectant spray first
10-Thou shalt love thy curls and embrace your unique look.
