3. Loose and Defined Curls
With this manner, your focus should be on your items rather than your tools. For a manageable mane, define your curls with curl-enhancing products and sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner; comb through curls with your fingers rather than a comb or brush. This natural method of styling curly hair is all about appreciating and accentuating the innate texture of your hair. Start by gently, sulphate-free shampooing your hair such that it doesn’t rob curls of their natural oils. Use a moisturising conditioner in follow-up, being sure to evenly apply it through your hair. Apply a curl-defining cream or gel while your hair is still wet using the “praying hands” approach to guarantee even distribution. To induce curls, scrunch your hair upward towards your scalp. Use the “ploughing” method—wrap your hair in a microfiber towel or old t-shirt for 20 to 30 minutes to absorb more moisture without roughing the cuticle—for especially frizz-prone hair? For more volume once your hair is mostly dry, gently separate any clumped curls with your fingertips. Remember, moisture is the secret to gorgeous, defined curls; hence, if your curls are dry, do not hesitate to use leave-in conditioners or hair oils.
