The Ten Commandments of Curly

 * Properly taking care of curly hair can be a difficult and tedious task! Especially in the fall and winter months coming up. Because the air becomes so dry, it removes a lot of the moisture that those curls want so dearly hold onto. But there's no need to worry! Follow my Ten Commandments of Curly and you'll never have to see another morning like this...




1) Cut down on shampooing. Every time you wash your hair, you are stripping it of its natural oils, which are vital in keeping the hair strong from root to end. (Recommend 2-4times a week, instead of everyday)

2) Use a wide tooth comb, opposed to a brush or small tooth comb.

3) Stay away from any conditioning or styling products that contain alcohol, sulphate, or parabens. 

4) Let the hair air dry. Heated tools damage the curls and their natural pattern, leaving it dry and frizzy.

5) Sleep on a satin pillowcase instead of cotton. (better for the skin as well)

6) Deep condition the hair 1-2 times a week. My favorite home remedy is mixing coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil. Leave the treatment on overnight and wash in the morning!

7) Style your hair when it's sopping wet, it prevents all that frizz.

8) Try getting a dry hair cut. This way, the curl is at its natural state and you'll know exactly how it looks dry. 

9) Leave it alone! Constantly, twisting and twirling your hair causes breakage and more frizz of coarse.

10) Eat healthy and take a multi vitamin.
