Separate the hair into sections and use your fingers to thoroughly work on the conditioner so that it can penetrate deeply into your hair. Let it rest for about 20 minutes. You can also wear a shower cap or a towel to trap some heat and open up the cuticles. Focus on conditioner This is one of the most crucial elements of a curly hair care regimen. Conditioner is ideal for curly hair as it moisturizes the curls, hence helping to reduce frizz. Conditioner also helps to preserve the shape of the curls. How frequent you use a conditioner depends on the type of the curl. If your curls are loose or semi-tight, you can use conditioner two to four times a week. For kinkier curls, it is advisable to use a conditioner once a week. Again, ensure you that use a sulfate-free conditioner. Always use cold water Washing out the conditioner using cold or cool water can help to seal the hair cuticle and even lock in all the moisture that has been added to your hair. In addition to that, cold water is believed to help increase shine. Use a microfiber towel or t-shirt to dry As mentioned above, curly hair is quite delicate. So when drying the curls, you must handle them with care. Terrycloth towels tend to absorb too much moisture from the hair, and its rough texture can create more frizzes, which may disturb your natural curl pattern. A microfiber towel is gentle on curls and can prevent frizz. You can also use a cotton t-shirt to keep the curls intact and help retain moisture. Style your hair with moderate heat Too much heat can cause your curls to lose their natural texture, making them look pale and dull. If you notice this, avoid using any kind of heat. Use a blow drier with the diffuser for a week or two [the diffuser reduces frizz by distributing the heat evenly]. Then focus on rehydrating the curls to restore their texture and look. If you opt to use hot styling tools, only use them on a moderate heat setting. You can also use a heat protectant spray.
