Curly Hair Care – Keep Your Curls Beautiful

Comb through your hair with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. To reduce the risk of wear and tear, avoid brushes and detangling brushes, and detangle your hair when it's wet or well moisturised. Use hair oil when detangling your hair with your fingers. Always start by detangling the ends first and then work your way up towards the roots.

Use the right styling products
Avoid styling products such as hairspray and mousse, especially on curly hair extensions. With regular use, hair can become sticky, stiff and fluffy. Instead, use products specially adapted for curly hair, such as leave-in conditioner.

Avoid heat treatment
Use as few heat tools as possible as the hair will be damaged during heat treatment. If you need to use heat tools, always keep the temperature low, max 180°C and use heat protection.

Separate the curl sections
Curly hairs naturally gather together in sections/loops. Spend ten minutes a day separating these sections from each other. It’s easy to do with your fingers. By carefully separating the sections, loose hairs and hairs that have fallen out will be removed. Loose hairs can give the hair a matte effect. Without them, the hair has a healthy shine.

Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb before washing. Start with the ends and work your way up.

Rinse the hair with lukewarm water and then apply shampoo from root to tip. Avoiding rubbing. Massage your scalp with fingers or a Scalp Brush for one minute. Rinse thoroughly and shampoo again.

Towel dry your hair with Rapunzel’s Turban Hair Towel and then apply hair mask to the lengths, avoiding the attachments. Leave in for at least 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

Apply conditioner to the lengths, avoiding the attachments and the scalp. Detangle your hair with your fingers. Rinse thoroughly.

Style your hair when it's wet. Use hair oil and/or Moisture & Protection Spray to define curls and create a frizz-free result. Squeeze/shape the curls with your hands.

Let the hair dry naturally or blow dry on low heat with heat protection.

Finish with hair oil for rehydration and a shiny result.

For your curls to stay beautiful and your full head weave to last longer, it’s a good idea to think about the right care for your curls as you sleep. Here are some tips on how to best style your hair for the pillow:

Pineapple
In this way, you avoid hair around the neck and sleeping on the curls. Instead, you gather it in a bunch on the top of your head. Use a soft hairband.

French braid
A French braid not only protects your hair from breakage, but also from friction when you sleep. In addition, it creates Body Wave curls when you release the braid in the morning. One tip is to section your hair and create several braids.

Two-strand twists
Instead of braiding, you can section your hair into two. Then divide these sections into two and twist them around each other, from the top to the ends. This works best on slightly tighter curls.

Satin
Use a Satin Bonnet when you sleep. This helps to protect the ends against friction from bed linen and pyjamas. Another tip, if you prefer to sleep with your hair down, is to use a satin pillowcase instead of cotton. Cotton absorbs moisture and leaves your hair and curls less defined, frizzier and drier.
