Curly Hair

The low down on curls…

Many people dream of perfect, bouncy curls in their hair. Whether they’re tight ringlets, loose curls or soft waves, they will definitely need a helping hand to remain defined, springy and hydrated throughout the day. Wind, rain, humidity and stress can ruffle your “feathers” and leave your curls looking like a frizzy, chaotic mess! Hair gels, mousse or hairspray seems like the obvious product of choice to keep the frizz at bay, and they’ll certainly hold your tresses in place, but unfortunately you’re also going to be left with dry, crispy curls with absolutely zero bounce – yuk!

So what do you do?

To maintain your lovely locks and keep those curls happy, a good “curl cream” is a must. Curl creams come in various forms including sprays, oils and of course, creams! They contain some of the same ingredients as hair gels, but also contain conditioners and moisturisers which help leave the hair soft, flexible and hydrated. It’s a win-win!

Who should use curl creams?

Anyone with either natural curls, permed hair or temporary “curl iron” curls can benefit from this product. It’s not necessarily going to make your hair curlier (which is good news for super-curly girls!) but it will define each strand making your curls a bit more obvious, as opposed to a frizzy mess!

How do you use it?

Curl creams are a styling product, not a treatment, so applying some to your hair should be an every day thing – well, that’s if you plan on bumping in to people! They need to be applied to damp, towel-dried hair, so straight after your shower is ideal. Every curl cream will have their own application instructions, but the general gist is to cover your hair from root to tip in curl cream and run a comb through to make sure it’s distributed evenly. Leave the curl cream in – don’t rinse (remember it’s a styling product!) and dry your hair like normal, either naturally or with a blow dryer. Avoid scrunching or tousling your hair to much though as that can cause frizziness.

Enjoy your bouncy, soft, defined and hydrated curls!
