5 things you should not do with curly hair

On the one hand, all girls with perfectly straight strands envy those with curls. However, on the other hand, curly hair needs much more careful care than other hair types. Therefore, in this material we will focus on things that should never be done with this type of hair.

Comb

If you comb your curly hair, everyone around you may think that you are portraying Nathanya from the cartoon “Little Brownie Kuzya”. The comb deforms the natural curl, so it is contraindicated. If you want to comb your curls, do so in the shower after applying a mask or conditioner, using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.

Use silicone shampoo

Silicones work great on straight hair. They weigh it down, lock in moisture and prevent it from evaporating. But all these are not suitable for curly hair. Therefore, for curls it is better to choose special products for wavy strands and without silicone.

Dry your hair with hot air

As you already understood, curly hair needs to be handled very carefully and carefully, so you should not dry it at high temperatures. It is recommended to use medium or cold drying mode.

Rub your hair with a towel

Rubbing your hair as if drying it with a towel is perhaps the biggest mistake most of us make. This can’t be done with straight hair, much less curly hair. Curly strands need moisture, so after washing it will be enough to dry them with a towel several times using wringing movements. The ideal option is to use a towel made of microfiber instead of cotton. This material will absorb all the excess but will not dry your hair.

Use sulfate shampoo

Sulfates are excellent cleansing agents often used in shampoos and shower gels. They cope with all kinds of pollution, but sometimes they do it very effectively. Therefore, sulfates can have a negative effect on already dry and porous hair (and so do curly strands). For such strands it is better to choose oil-based shampoos without sulfates. They will moisturize your hair.
