A simple, natural curly hair routine for beautiful curls

Many of us 'curlies' feel at a loss when it comes to the demands of our hair. Without realising it, we sometimes adopt maintenance and styling habits that are detrimental to our hair texture. In the long run, this can lead to breakage or further hair loss.

The most important thing when developing your hair routine for curly hair is to respect its nature. A 'basic' routine probably won't be enough to help you gain length and shine. Your challenge is to think beyond simply preventing breakage.

The secret lies in two words: strategy and consistency. To reap the rewards of your curly hair routine, you need to pay attention not only to the products you choose, but also to the order in which you apply them. Also remember to adapt to your hair's occasional needs.

For curly, wavy, afro or textured hair: every day is a hair adventure. Curls are beautiful, but they also have their own unique needs and characteristics that require special attention. Understanding the nature of your curls is the first step to adopting a hair routine that help them look their best.

Curly hair is characterised by its spiral or spring-like structure, the result of a natural curvature of the hair follicles. This particular shape makes curly hair more fragile and prone to dryness than other hair types. In fact, the curvature of curls can hinder the natural distribution of sebaceous oils along the hair shaft, often making it drier and more prone to frizz.

Compared to straight or slightly wavy hair, curly hair tends to be thicker and have a rougher texture. This texture can vary considerably from person to person, from soft, wavy curls to tight, bouncy curls. This diversity makes each head of curls unique and requires an individual approach to hair care.

Curls also have a distinct chemical composition. Their outer cuticle is often more raised than straight hair, which can lead to moisture loss and increased sensitivity to external damage such as heat and chemicals found in traditional hair products.

However, with the right care and routine, curly hair can regain and maintain its beauty over the long term.

With this regular routine, your curly hair will be softer, more defined and healthier!

Finding the right routine for fine, curly hair isn't always easy. The main risk is weighing your hair down with products that are too rich. The result is curls that look greasy and lack bounce. Our experts recommend turning to light textures. For example, opt for styling gels and water-based leave-in sprays rather than creams and butters. And in all cases, be sparing with the dosage.

Thick, curly hair is blessed with beautiful volume. However, it can look like a fuzzy mass if you don't give it the care it needs. When developing your hair routine for curly hair, remember to include detangling and conditioning. Thick, curly hair is blessed with beautiful volume. However, it can look like a fuzzy mass if you don't give it the care it needs. When developing your curly hair routine, remember to include detangling and styling products. Feel free to plop your hair too. This drying technique involves leaving your wet hair for a few hours under a cotton turban.

Textured hair is naturally drier than straight hair. The shape of the curl hinders the flow of sebum from the root to the tip, unlike straight hair. You should therefore treat your curly hair as if it were dry. If dryness persists despite all our advice, look into the porosity of your hair. Your hair may be dry because it's very porous. This makes it harder for your hair to retain moisture, which evaporates quickly.

A man's curly hair routine is identical to that of a woman. The only difference is in the choice of textures and formulas if you have short hair. Avoid oils or butters that are too heavy, which could cause your roots to oil up more quickly. If you have afro hair, be aware that it is thicker than women's hair. Take this into account when figuring out your hair care routine and refer to the advice above.
