As a result, your scalp will be greasy, and your hair will be dry. This isn't a good pairing. Knowing this, you can use the suggestions below to help tighten your curls, keep them glossy and nourished, and feel secure in your stunning appearance! Continue reading to learn how we'll tame those curls!
· Trim- Visit a stylist to verify that you only trim off what is required. Cutting off too much hair may make you sad, but if you can get rid of the damaged ends, your hair will grow back stronger than before.
· The moisturising process starts in the shower- When hydrating your hair, steer clear from silicone-based products. It coats your hair, which is why. That's fine for a temporary fix, but it's bad for infusing long-term hydration into your hair. A double-shampoo is never a good idea. No one should, in fact. After that, you'll want to get the build-up out of your hair and go on.
· Once a week, deep condition- Apply a thorough conditioner to your hair. Make it a habit to do it at least once a week. Curls require moisture, and once you've addressed that issue, you should see a better, tighter curling motion. One thing to keep in mind is that too much protein might be harmful. It can cause hair to become brittle and stiff. Try to strike a balance by utilising both moisture-based deep conditioners and protein treatments.
· Apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair- When my hair feels dry, I use leave-in conditioners. It can also help keep knots at bay. Always start from the tips and work your way down using a wide-toothed comb, starting at the roots and working your way down. This will keep snags and breaks at bay. Also, because you have curly hair, seek for products that mention "curl defining" or "curl improving." They should also be made with healthy elements (no silicones, please!).
· Use the proper instrument to detangle your hair- Comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb. A fine-tooth comb will wreak havoc on the situation. This comb isn't suitable for textured hair. Some people recommend using fingers, but excessive use of fingers can cause hair to frizz. So, go easy on the wide-tooth comb, start at the ends, and apply the correct products to maintain curly hair tight and fresh.
· Protect yourself from the heat by using a heat protectant- There are no exceptions when it comes to using a heat protectant on your hair. However, you should never use anything that contains alcohol because it is extremely damaging to your curls. Choose a hydrating product, such as a finishing oil, to seal and define your curls while removing frizz. That's the key to having the nicest, tightest curls.
· To set your curls, use a hair diffuser- You'll also need to set your curls, which is where your diffuser comes in handy. Set the hair drier at low heat and dry your hair while gently scrunching it without stopping. Flip your hair midway through the drying process. Use a diffuser with those prong things on it if you really want an edge on these tight curls. Flip your hair upside down and cup it into the diffuser, pressing up toward your scalp, or place it on a flat surface while moving the diffuser around your head.
· Keep an eye on your stands while you're sleeping- When it comes to curl tightening, the way you sleep on them is crucial. Here, I recommend sheet shopping in particular. Cotton absorbs all of your hair's natural oils and steals moisture like a bandit in the night if you use it (even if it has a ridiculously high thread count). Instead, wrap a lovely satin scarf around your head. You might also invest in a silk pillowcase.
Conclusion
Curl tightening is straightforward and just takes a few minutes. Keep in mind that your curls require extra attention from you. You'll see that tight pattern come back once you start showing that love, the type that turns heads and has straight-haired girls like me swooning over it. Curly hair is one of a kind and stunning. With the correct items and equipment, you'll be able to see what the rest of us see... you're gorgeous!
