Working with curly hair presents unique challenges that require specialized knowledge, techniques, and tools. Key difficulties include managing different curl patterns, shrinkage, and frizz.
The right products, like sulfate-free shampoos, deep conditioners, curl creams, and gels, are essential to maintain healthy curls and enhance their natural texture. Curly hair is drier than straight hair, so moisture-rich products like leave-in conditioners or oils are crucial to keep curls hydrated.
Excessive heat styling can damage curly hair, so using tools like diffusers and heat-protectant sprays is important. Curly hair naturally has more volume, and the right techniques must be carefully balanced to achieve the desired fullness, whether it’s reducing volume or enhancing it.
It’s essential to select and apply the appropriate tools, products, and techniques to ensure curls are healthy, defined, and well-maintained. I love working with all hair types and textures.
