So after many years of coloring, cutting and experimenting with my hair, its time to put all that to a stop. Oh, lord only knows how difficult that will be for me. I'm definitely a fan of change when it comes to my hair. I mean it was like every 3 months I would sit in front of the mirror and say, "So what are we going to try now". But with all that said and done, its taken a toll on me. My hair is fried, tired, worn out! My curls are gone, GONE, I tell you. Yes, sad but true. So after reading so many blogs, watching YouTube videos by
Sunkiss Alba and
LipsticknCurls. I have been, not only motivated but excited to go on the road to curly hair recovery! So on to some tip to getting those beautiful curls back.
Tips:
- Stay away from HEAT- use less heat or just stop using it. Heat pulls out moisture from your hair and will cause damage as well as breakage.
- Keep your hair Moisturized- Use hair milks and leave ins regularly
- Get a Satin Pillow it will protect your curls as you sleep. Other pillows will cause breakage and frizz to your hair. And lets face it, we don't want frizz
- Use Natural products- Use products that have good ingredients,"Natural oils", not chemicals. Less chemicals, the better off you are. Good natural oils are, Coconut, Almond, Jojoba, and Olive oil.
- Detangle hair in shower- Use a wide tooth comb or best way is your fingers. Other combs will damage and break your hair.
- Do Not Touch your hair- It will cause major frizz. Friends and family beware,"You will get slapped if your hands are near my hair."
- Deep condition- Deep condition your hair once a week, it is essential for healthy hair.
- Use a Microfiber towel- It will cause less damage to your curls.
- Do not Wash everyday- Washing your hair will wash out you hairs natural oils, and we don't want to do that.
- Be Patient!- This takes time. Doing research on curly hair it says that you could grow about 3 inches in 6 months. And do remember that having curly hair causes shrinkage. Like wavy hair shrinks about 5% of true length, and curly hair can shrink up to 30%, coily hair shrink up to an amazing 75% true length, Wow.
