Curly haired women understand the challenges of caring for and styling their natural curls. However, it should not be that difficult once you have come to understand these challenges, as well as the ways to overcome them. In most cases, it can be all about using the right tools. Find out more about what tools that you need to have in your hair styling kit for easier styling and hair care.
Curly Hair-Specific Products
If you look hard enough, you will realise that there are several products designed specifically to care for and style curly hair. These products range from shampoo, to conditioner, to curl creams – all of them are made with the curly haired woman’s needs in mind. It is important to use these products for a number of reasons, such as the following:
• They are formulated to deal with the natural texture of curly hair;
• They are guaranteed to not aggravate hair condition resulting to a more difficult styling;
• They can infuse all of the essential nutrients needed by your curly hair;
• They can give subtle gloss and shine to the hair.
Wide-Tooth Comb
This is one of the most basic tools with which curly haired women can rely on. Brushing is something that natural women should try to refrain from because it can invite frizz formation. For this reason, a wide tooth comb comes to the rescue! You can even use it in the shower after applying conditioner to help distribute the product throughout the hair. It also acts as a de-tangler to sort out curly hair once you step out of the shower. It is a great way to style your curly hair without being too harsh on the strands.
Diffuser
The use of a blow dryer without diffuser is a major no-no in basic curly hair maintenance. Hence, you need to invest in and use a diffuser attachment as part of your curly hair styling kit. A good quality blow dryer is also important. Make sure to use ones made out of ionic and tourmaline technology. The reason being that ionic blow dryer imparts negative ions on hair, which in turn helps to seal in moisture and smoothen out the hair surface. Meanwhile, tourmaline blow dryer further enhances the benefits offered by ionic blow dryers.
For more effective styling, invest in a wide heat diffuser. This ensures even distribution of heat so your curls remain intact. Simply attach the diffuser attachment to the nozzle before you begin blow drying. This will keep the integrity of your curls for bounce and shine.
