Rocío Escalante, pharmacist and co-founder of Laghum Cosmetics, explains today how to take care of curly hair and shows the different tricks he uses. curly hairstyle does not lose its shapehydration or shine.

Two different shampoos alternate with each wash

According to Rocío, Cleanse the scalp thoroughly using two different shampoos. Although curly hair is usually dry and not greasy, using styling products causes residue to build up. This means that sulfates are necessary for the scalp to be completely clean. For the second lather, she recommends a shampoo—such products are often very moisturizing—to define curls and protect color.

Using conditioner does not work

Using conditioner on extremely dry or frizzy hair will not work because it only helps detangle the hair without providing any nourishment. It is recommended if the mask is left to act for a minimum of 5 minutes and if we work well with our fingers for good penetration. The pharmacist says, “I also use that moment to comb through with a wide-toothed comb. I never blow dry my curly hair.”

How to dry curly hair

Wet hair is more fragile, so Rocío recommends drying it with a temperature-controlled hair dryer, diffuser, and sections. According to her own experience, “I heat, wait, reheat and do something else so that the curl takes shape naturally. To finish, I replace a nozzle’s diffuser and put cold air over the roots to give it volume”.
