Every person has hair that distinguishes him from the other, whether the hair is smooth, curly, or wavy.

Tips for caring for curly hair

There are many tips that can be followed to care for curly hair, which are as follows:

• It is preferable to leave the hair to dry on its own when showering. If necessary, it must be dried quickly using a hair towel, gently, while avoiding rubbing it. Or you can use a heat hair dryer, provided that it is at the lowest temperature to prevent damage. It is preferable to use A convection dryer is the last option for this.
• Use home-made hair recipes and natural hair masks to ensure and maintain moisture, and to avoid damage. It is preferable to use recipes that contain keratin.
• Use a wide-toothed comb to ensure separation of tangles, and start from the bottom of the hair towards the top.
• Avoid washing it frequently using shampoo, because coarse and curly hair is more susceptible to damage and dryness than straight and smooth hair.
• Moisturize the hair abundantly, by using the appropriate hair conditioner. The conditioner is placed on the hair and left for a period of between 5-10 minutes, then rinsed with water. In this way, the hair can be preserved and avoid changes that could harm the hair.
• Do not change the hair products used, and stick to one type of these products. You should also use some creams that are especially used for curly and coarse hair.

• Sleep on satin pillowcases, because they provide less friction to the hair than cotton pillowcases.
• Cut the hair regularly to keep it healthy, every 6-8 weeks.
• Maintain and control the humidity in the home that suits the nature of the hair, by controlling air conditioning and central heating, which often lead to dry hair.
