Everything About Curls!

Products are specifically developed for curly hair. This leads to the conclusion that curly hair is “different” from, say, straight hair. The texture is different, and the issues you experience are different as well, so you need different care and styling products.

What makes curly hair different?

Curly hair is often naturally low in moisture and therefore needs more hydration than, for example, straight hair. Products specifically formulated for curls often contain more moisturizing ingredients than other products. People with curly hair often want their hair to be light, less frizzy, and bouncy; this is also taken into account in products specifically designed for curly hair. Common issues with curly hair include frizz, flyaways, or a dry feel.

What kind of hair care do you need for curls?

Special products have been developed for caring for curly hair, such as the Nutricurls line from Wella Professionals for perfectly nourished waves and curls, or the SachaJuan Curls line featuring Ocean Silk Technology. Beautiful curls are curls that are nourished. The amount of care and nourishment needed varies by curl type; too much care or the wrong type of care can cause the curl to lose its definition and bounce.

Wavy Hair vs. Curls

Wavy and curly hair have different care and nourishment needs. That’s why the various Nutricurls products feature a specific formulation of the Nourish-in complex to provide your specific type of waves or curls with the right blend of care. The Nourish-in complex contains wheat bran extract and jojoba oil to make curls and waves bouncy and manageable while reducing frizz. The Waterclouds Reviving Curl Cream also contains bamboo, provitamin B5, and rice protein, which help strengthen the hair and maintain the curls. This protects the curls from drying out and from the heat of styling tools!

What's the best way to wash your curls?

If you have curls, you don’t want to wash your hair too often, as this can often make your curls feel even drier. A product like the Nutricurl Cleansing Conditioner was developed specifically for this purpose. This gentle, nourishing cleanser provides more definition for wavy and curly hair. This Co-Wash (conditioner-shampoo) is a great alternative to use alternately with shampoo, ideal for people with curly hair who wash their hair frequently or have naturally dry and unruly curls. It’s a mild, conditioner-based cleanser with a nourishing formula free of silicones and sulfates. The CHI Aloe Vera with Agave Nectar Curl Enhancing Shampoo is a soothing shampoo specially formulated for curly hair that’s also very popular among our curly-haired beauties.

How do you take care of your curls?

In addition to cleansing, taking care of your curls is also important. The products from Sebastian Professional’s Twisted line deliver stunning, bouncy curls that last for 48 hours and provide optimal hydration and perfect definition. This line is enriched with the Flexi Alg™ Complex. The Elastic Detangler Conditioner is a daily-use detangling conditioner enriched with the Flexi Alg™ Complex. It locks in moisture and boosts bounce, for easier styling and soft, flexible curls that feel wonderful all day long. The CHI Aloe Vera curl cream and hair oil are also must-haves for curly-haired individuals who want to go about their day with frizz-free, well-groomed curls.

 

Pamper your curls with the best hair products

What about styling curly hair?

When styling curls, it's best to use products that are a bit richer and more malleable. Curls can become frizzy after washing, so a richer product helps restore their definition.

Wavy vs. Curly Hair

The finishing products from the Wella Professionals Nutricurls line are designed for all types of curls: loose curls, tight curls, loose waves, and waves with more definition. They’re the perfect products to finish off your hair care routine. For women with wavy hair, Milky Waves is the perfect product to get the most out of your hair. This softening leave-in spray with a milky texture provides lightweight care and makes hair more manageable. The Nutricurl Curlixir Balm is a nourishing leave-in curl balm, ideal for true curls. It provides a soft hold, definition, and bounce. The perfect primer for beautiful curls.

Products for Every Styling Need

The styling products from the Nutricurls EIMI line provide 72 hours of anti-frizz protection and curl definition. The Curl Shaper (for curls) and the Soft Twirl (for waves) give your hair definition and shape without frizz. The Boost Bounce is specially formulated for volume, and the Fresh Up is designed to touch up your curls throughout the day. It eliminates frizz and restores your hair’s natural shine. The styling products from Sebastian Professional’s Twisted line create enviable curls. The Curl Lifter Foam, Curl Magnifier, and Curl Reviver Spray are the perfect products for styling your curls just right. The Curl Reviver Spray serves as both a finishing touch and a quick touch-up throughout the day, providing an instant “lift.”

How do you keep your curls looking great?

Cutting curly hair is an art in itself. To keep your curls looking their best, it’s best to choose a hairstylist who specializes in curly hair. Cutting curls requires a completely different technique, and using the right technique can either give you more curls or make your hair look a bit smoother.

6 Tips for Caring for Curly Hair or Keeping It Looking Beautiful

• Hair dryer with a diffuser (Check out the Parlux diffusers !)
• Use cleansing conditioners (alternating them) instead of shampoo (such as the Wella Professionals Nutricurls Cleansing Conditioner or the Joico Co+Wash Moisture Whipped Cleansing Conditioner).
• Have it cut by the right hairstylist
• Don't wash your hair too often (no more than twice a week)
• Do not comb your hair when it is dry (but do comb it gently with a high-quality brush, as wet hair is more fragile)
• Use the right styling products
• Keep trying different combinations until you find the right hair care and styling products. Every head of hair is unique and has its own needs!
