No matter what type of curls you’re rocking, if you have them, you know they can be tough to manage. From frizz to wild fly-aways, finding those perfect easy wash and go solutions can be a real challenge. So how do you manage? Believe it or not, there are a whole host of tricks out there, ranging from simple products solutions to easy styling tricks that can help get you out the door (and fast) each day. Here’s a roundup of some of the best ideas out there.
Wash & Go: Products & Tips for Curly Hair
Skip the hairbrush and use your hands. When it comes to curly hair, sometimes brushes and combs can really add to the frizz and the problems. Try changing things up by skipping the brush and using your fingers instead. Do your own detangling and just sort of shake out your waves and curls.
Take a day off from shampoo. May sound sort of scary, but think about skipping shampoo here and there and just go straight to conditioner. While shampoo does get your hair nice and clean, it also has a tendency to dry things out and leave you frizzier than when you started. Try an every other day routine where you “wash” with conditioner, rinse and go to help restore those essential natural oils. Fixx Argan Oil Conditioner is a great rinse and go option.
Don’t be afraid to invest in a great stylist. Expensive haircuts can be a bit intimidating, but once you have a really good one – you’ll never go back. A great hairstylist will know exactly how to manage your curls and give you a cut that’s also easy for you to style and manage on your own. Book those appointments like clockwork so that you’re never off schedule and your hair will thank you.
Be patient when blow drying. As tempting as it is to blast that thing on full heat and full speed, when it comes to curls, dial it down a notch. The slow and low approach will help style and tame those curls rather than the alternative, which ends up wild and uncontrollable. The GHD Air Dryer is a great option for quick dry on low speeds.
Don’t forget to deep condition. Your curls needs moisture to look beautiful – and you have to give it to them. A weekly deep conditioning treatment is often just the trick to keep everything moisturized and hydrated – especially when the air is super dry or extra humid. Try the Fixx Argan Oil Intensive Hair Mask for great results.
