How can I maintain my curly hair?  Product recommendations.

Maintaining curly hair can be a bit more complex than caring for straight hair, but with the right techniques and products, you can ''keep your curls healthy'' and looking their best. Here are some recommendations and product suggestions for curly hair:

Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Sulfates can strip the natural oils from your hair, which is particularly damaging to curly hair.

Consider co-washing (conditioner washing) between shampoos to maintain moisture.

Use a deep conditioner or hair mask at least once a week to provide extra moisture and nourishment to your curls.

Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb or your fingers when it's wet and conditioned. This prevents breakage and reduces frizz.

Apply a leave-in conditioner or curl-enhancing product to wet hair. Look for products specifically designed for curly hair, which often contain ingredients like shea butter or argan oil.

Use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer to evenly distribute air and enhance your curls without causing frizz.

Consider using a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and minimize frizz.

Minimize the use of heat-styling tools like straighteners or curling irons, as excessive heat can damage your curls. If you must use heat, use a heat protectant spray.

''Get regular trims to maintain the shape of your curls and prevent split ends''.

Apply a lightweight hair oil to your curls to add shine and reduce frizz. Argan oil, jojoba oil, and coconut oil are good options.

Try the "plopping" method, which involves wrapping your hair in a t-shirt or microfiber towel to enhance your curls' shape while drying.

Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to promote overall hair health.

Consider getting a curly-specific haircut from a stylist experienced in cutting and shaping curly hair. This can make a significant difference in how your curls look.
