Curly hair

Curly hair has its own unique character and deserves care that suits its needs. Whether you have loose waves, bouncy curls or tight coils, the right haircare and styling techniques help you make the most of your natural curl pattern. Curly hair is often more prone to dryness, frizz and tangles. That's why hydration, gentle cleansing and the right styling products are important.

Not all curls are the same. To find the right haircare routine, it helps to understand your natural curl type. Wavy, curly and coily hair are generally divided into different categories.

• Type 2: Wavy hair.

  This hair type has a natural S-shaped pattern, ranging from loose waves to more defined waves. Wavy hair can easily become weighed down by rich haircare products.

• Type 3: Curly hair.

  This type includes loose to tight spiral curls. These curls often need extra care to stay soft and bouncy.

• Type 4: Coily hair.

  This hair type has very tight curls or a zigzag pattern. It is often more prone to dryness and breakage, making gentle detangling and proper conditioning especially important.

Besides your curl type, hair thickness, density and porosity also play an important role. Porosity describes how easily your hair absorbs and loses water. That's why the same curly hair routine may work well for one person while weighing down someone else's hair.

Curly Hair Care

Caring for curly hair starts with understanding what your hair needs. Because the natural oils from your scalp have a harder time travelling along a curved hair strand, curly lengths and ends can become dry more easily.

A good haircare routine helps keep your hair manageable, reduce frizz and support your natural curl definition. Think of a gentle shampoo, a nourishing conditioner and a leave-in product that suits your curl type.

How you handle your hair also makes a difference. Gently detangle your curls while conditioner is applied and avoid rubbing your hair roughly with a towel. This helps reduce unnecessary friction and breakage.
