Curly hair tips: How to style it and take care of that mane

If you have curly hair, you already know the struggles of it. You can apply creams and oils and yet they still look like you haven't taken care of your hair since ages. If you have been wondering on how to style curly hair, look no further. Here are some of the best curly hair tips that you can change your life.

1. Learn how to detangle your curly hair

Detangling curly hair looks daunting. The trick is to use a curl-specific detangling brush that will save your life. Try to use a wide-tooth comb instead of a brush. And remember not to brush when your hair is wet, that can lead to hair breakage. Before taking a shower, brush through your curls.

2. Avoid breakage on curly hair

The trick is to brush your curly hair from the bottom. Don't start brushing your hair from the root or even from the middle, that will lead to a mess and detangling. Instead, start from the ends and then move upwards. Your curly hair will feel thankful for you.

3. Wash your hair upside down

This may sound strange, flipping your hair over to the front and washing it upside down is the best way to maintain your curls. It gives the hair bounce.

4. Condition, condition, and condition

The trick to keep your curls bouncy and healthy-looking is to use generous amounts of conditioner and saturate your hair with it. Additionally, go for both shampoos and conditioners that are sulphate and paraben-free, and are hydrating in nature. Sulphates and parabens dry out the hair and make it frizzy.

5. Prevent frizz on your curly hair

After washing your hair, don't go for drying your hair with a towel. Instead, wrap your hair in a T-shirt. Using a t-shirt to dry your curls helps them stay defined. You need to mount the t-shirt on your head in order to make this trick work. Your regular towel will not help you as much.
