Curly hair is stunning and full of personality, but it’s also often misunderstood. Let’s debunk some common myths and learn how to take the best care of those beautiful curls.
Myth 1: Curly Hair Doesn't Need Frequent Washing
Reality: While washing too often can strip curly hair of its natural oils, regular washing is still important to remove buildup and keep the scalp healthy.
Tip: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and follow up with a nourishing conditioner. Incorporate the Repairing Hair Mask into your routine for deep hydration on wash days.
Myth 2: Brushing Curly Hair Will Make It More Manageable
Reality: Brushing dry curly hair can lead to frizz and breakage.
Tip: Detangle your hair when it’s wet and coated with conditioner or a detangling product. Our Repairing Hair Mask provides excellent slip, making it easier to detangle without causing damage.
Myth 3: Curly Hair Doesn't Need to Be Trimmed Often
Reality: Regular trims are essential to maintain the health of curly hair by removing split ends and preventing breakage.
Tip: Schedule trims every 6-8 weeks to keep your curls in top shape. Even if you're growing your hair out, regular trims can help it grow longer and stronger.
Myth 4: Oils Alone Can Moisturize Curly Hair
Reality: While oils can seal in moisture, they don’t hydrate the hair. Curly hair needs water-based hydration to stay soft and manageable.
Tip: Use our Repairing Hair Mask, formulated with hydrating ingredients like baobab oil and ama-leaf, to deeply condition and moisturize your curls.
Myth 5: Curly Hair Products Are Just Marketing Hype
Reality: Curly hair products are specifically formulated to address the unique needs of curly hair, such as extra moisture, frizz control, and curl definition.
Tip: Look for products with natural, nourishing ingredients. Our Repairing Hair Mask is packed with vegetable proteins, moringa butter, and other natural ingredients designed to give your curls the care they need.
Myth 6: You Should Always Air Dry Curly Hair
Reality: Air drying is a great option, but it’s not the only way to dry curly hair. Diffusing on low heat can help enhance curl definition and reduce drying time.
Tip: If you choose to use a diffuser, make sure to use a heat protectant and avoid touching your hair too much while drying to minimize frizz. Our Repairing Hair Mask helps to prepare your curls for heat styling by keeping them strong and moisturized.
Myth 7: You Can't Style Curly Hair in Different Ways
Reality: Curly hair is incredibly versatile and can be styled in many different ways, from updos to braids to defined curl patterns.
Tip: Experiment with different styles and products to find what works best for your hair. Our Repairing Hair Mask ensures your curls are healthy and manageable, giving you the freedom to try out new looks without worrying about damage.
