Curly hair is naturally drier than straight hair, because the hair's natural oils find it harder to travel all the way down the curved strands. That makes curly hair especially prone to dryness and frizz if your routine isn't adapted to it.
The basics of a curly hair routine
- Prioritise moisture at every step – both shampoo and conditioner should be moisturising first and foremost rather than cleansing.
- Avoid washing your hair too often. Many people with curly hair do best washing less often than with straight hair.
- Detangle while your hair is wet, with conditioner still in – it reduces the risk of breakage compared with combing dry hair.
- Avoid rubbing your hair dry with a towel – it creates frizz. Pat it dry or use a soft cotton cloth instead.
Our Curl Kit is put together to give curly hair the moisture it needs, without flattening or weighing down the curls.
