Curly Hair Routines: Essential Tips for Our Salon Clients

Welcome to Wisteria Avenue, your local Oxfordshire curly hair and curly perm specialists. Experience tells us that curly hair requires a unique approach. Curly hair can be beautiful yet it also comes with its own set of challenges. The key to most curly hair types is usually moisture. Without suitable hydration, curls can become frizzy, dry, and unruly. In this weeks blog post, we’ll share with you our top tips and recommended products from the Only Curls range to help you maintain your healthy curls. Our new range of Only Curls products can be found in-salon.

Curly Hair Tips & Tricks

Understanding Your Curl Type

Curls can range from loose waves to tight coils. Knowing your curl type helps in selecting the right products and techniques for your hair. Whilst diagrams exist to identify specific curls, more typically curls can be identified by:

Wavy Hair: Loose waves that may need light moisture and gentle styling products.
Curly Hair: Defined, springy curls that benefit from hydration and frizz control.
Coily Hair: Tight, dense curls that require intense moisture and protective styling.

Moisture, Moisture, Moisture!

Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair because the natural oils from the scalp have a harder time travelling down the hair shaft. Use a leave-in conditioner like the Only Curls Hydrating Curl Crème, which provides long-lasting moisture and helps define your curls.

Avoid Sulphates & Silicones

Sulphates can strip hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness and frizz. Silicones, on the other hand, can build up on the hair and scalp, blocking moisture. Opt for sulphate-free and silicone-free shampoos and conditioners. The Only Curls All Curl Cleanser is an excellent sulphate-free option that gently cleanses without drying out your curls.

Detangle with Care

Curly hair is prone to tangling, and improper detangling can cause breakage. Always detangle your hair when it’s wet, using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Apply a generous amount of conditioner or a detangling spray like Only Curls All Curl Conditioner to provide slip and make the process easier.

Embrace LOC (Liquid, Oil Cream)!

The LOC (Liquid, Oil, Cream) method is a popular technique for locking in moisture. Start with a water-based product (liquid), followed by an oil to seal in the moisture, and finish with a cream to define and hold your curls. For example, you could use the Only Curls Hydrating Curl Gel (liquid), Only Curls Nourishing Hair Oil (oil), and Only Curls Curl Cream (cream) to keep your curls hydrated and defined.

Diffuse or Air Dry

Where possible try to avoid heat styling on curly hair. If you need to buy some time, use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer. They are super cheap and highly versatile. This helps to distribute heat evenly and reduces frizz. When using a diffuser, dry your hair on a medium heat and medium speed setting on your hair dryer when using a diffuser.

Embrace Regular Haircuts

Regular trims are essential to keep your curls looking their best. Curly hair can be more prone to split ends. Schedule trims every 8-12 weeks at Wisteria Avenue to keep your curls healthy and free from damage. An easier way to think about this is one haircut every season, or four times per year.

Conclusion

Caring for curly hair is all about maintaining moisture and using the right products. Remember to keep your curls hydrated, avoid sulfates and silicones, consider moisture intensive products and embrace techniques that work for your unique curl pattern.
