The Curly Hair Guide
Curly hair is unique, beautiful, and a little bit magical, but it also comes with its own set of rules. Whether your hair is wavy, bouncy, or tightly coiled, understanding your curl type and giving it the right TLC can make all the difference.
Curly hair has its own rhythm and needs a little extra care to shine. Because natural oils have a harder time travelling down each twist and turn, curls tend to be drier and crave more moisture. With the right mix of hydration, gentle handling, and patience, your curls can stay soft, defined, and beautifully frizz-free.
No two curls are the same - even on the same head! Some people love defined spirals, others prefer relaxed waves or big, bouncy texture. The secret is to experiment: try different product combinations, switch up your drying techniques, and discover what makes your curls feel their best.
