Care for wavy hair: especially cleansing and combing
Unlike straight hair, curls have a very thin and porous structure, which is the reason for their excessive brittleness. For the same reason wavy hair quickly lose moisture and poorly succumb to styling. Therefore, for the cleansing of curly locks, the use of moisturizing shampoos is recommended, preferably means containing coconut milk, licorice oil, jojoba, hamamelis extract and vitamins. It is these components that can soften and nourish curls with sufficient moisture. For daily styling, to avoid injury to the curls, you can not wash your head with shampoo, but use its dry analogs. This method will make the hair visually fresh, and the curls themselves will be neatly separated from each other.
Instead of brushes and crests, curly hair is better to comb gently with your fingers, separating small strands with your hands. To form beautiful curls, immediately after washing it is necessary to divide them into several strands and each squeeze in the palm of your hand. As a result, you get uniform spirals, which can be fixed with varnish or gel.
