5. DIY
Still on the search for the perfect moisturizing shampoo? No need to look any longer. Just take your favorite conditioner and your favorite sulfate-free shampoo and mix it together. Voila! You now have a moisturizing cleanser!
6. Lose the Towel
Next time you’re finished washing your hair, wrap your head in a cotton t-shirt versus a towel. Towels cause damage to the hair cuticles and create loads of frizz.
7. ‘The Pineapple’
Can’t figure out how to keep your curls intact while you sleep? Flip your head over and pile all of your hair on top of your head in the highest ponytail possible. Wrap a scarf around the base of your head and go to sleep. The next morning you will have undisturbed curls and lots of volume!
8. Gel It Right
Love your styling gel, but your styling gel isn’t quite the best for your hair? Try mixing it with a bit of leave-in- conditioner. Styling gels can often be drying to the hair, but with your added moisture to the mix, you can feel free to style gel away.
9. Kind of Crunchy?
After styling your hair with gels and mousse after a few days your hair may feel a little bit on the crunchy side. Try taking some of your favorite oil and running it through your hair. This will help soften up those curls, while giving them some added shine.
10. Don’t Rinse It All Out
Next time you go to rinse out your conditioner, make sure you use cold water and don’t rinse it all out. It’s okay! Your curls will love you for the residual product!
