Have Curly Hair? Here's How to Take Care of It from Shampooing to Drying

Dream - Are you the owner of curly hair? You should be proud because many people see this hair type as having its own charm. Just look at the uniqueness of celebrities like Sahila Hisyam or Tatyana Akman who have their own appeal with their curly hair.

Having hair that not everyone has certainly needs to be well-maintained. You need to know how to properly care for curly hair so that your crown always looks beautiful and healthy!

It must be admitted that taking care of curly hair does have its own challenges. Curly hair is more difficult to style, usually drier, and easily tangled.

However, with the right steps, you can have healthy curly hair with its own character.

Here are the steps of care that should be done by owners of curly hair if they want their hair to be more defined:

1. Shampooing

Because curly hair is usually drier, shampooing too often should be avoided. By shampooing 3 times a week, the natural oils in the hair can be maintained. You can also choose a sulfate-free shampoo when shampooing, so that the natural oils in the hair are not wasted.

2. Use Moisturizing Products

It is very important to provide products that can add moisture to the hair. Besides always making sure to use conditioner after shampooing, you can also regularly use a hair mask every week.

3. Provide Definition

Want your curly hair to be defined? Try shaping it while it's still wet by adding a hair cream. With hair cream, the defined hairstyle you created can last longer and be nourished at the same time.

5. Drying

When drying your hair, it is very important to avoid using hair dryers that produce heat. Because the heat from styling tools can damage the hair and disrupt the definition of curly hair. 

You should also not dry your hair with a regular towel, but use a microfiber towel that is softer for the hair. As an alternative, you can also use a T-shirt to dry your hair.
