Before you start reading this article, the curly hair care tips in this article is for care of natural curly hair, and may not be the same for permed curly hair. Chemically treated hair reacts differently than untreated hair and some tips will make your permed hair react badly. Check with the hair dresser who permed your hair before you try certain ideas, because you can “wash out a perm” if you are not careful.

Our first curly hair care tip is to choose hairstyles wisely. You want to have a hairstyle that is for curly hair and will work well with curly hair. You also was a cut that will provide you versatility. You will want different choices in how you dress your hair each day, and if you cut provides only one choice you will not be happy in the long run. Avoid choosing a hairstyle that only looks good when its straightened. Circumstances will not always allow you the time or products to keep your hair straight. Enjoy the beauty of your curly hair and choose wisely.

Our second curly hair care tip is the blow dryer is never your friend. Even with a diffuser the effect of a blow dryer on curly hair is explosive.

Our third curly hair care tip is avoid tangling your hair and only detangle it when its wet or damp. Use a detangler while its wet and work it through your hair with your fingers and you comb the tangles out, then use a wide-tooth comb and work the tangles out, starting from the bottom and working to the roots of the hair. Once its detangled use a wet styling product and hairstyle.

Our fourth curly hair care tip is to use curly hair products with moisturizer to combat the natural dryness of curly hair. A deep moisturizer treatment once a month is a good idea.

Our fifth curly hair care tip is avoid playing with your hair, combing or brushing it once its styled. This increases the friction and the friction will cause it to frizz.

Our sixth and final curly hair care tip is one you don’t think about as a hair care tip. Eat a good diet. A poor diet or lack of certain vitamins and minerals will undo all your other work with your hair. Many of the good fats and oils are good for your hair and help it maintain the shine and softness you want.
