Perfect curls: find out how to take care of your hair at home

Caring for wavy, curly, coily and frizzy hair requires special attention to enhance its natural beauty and keep it healthy. With this in mind, Gabi Paranhos, curl specialist at Curly Space, Curly Care’s concept salon, answered the most common questions on the topic and shared practical tips to include in your care routine.

1. Essential steps for a complete routine

According to Gabi, it’s essential to start with a gentle cleansing shampoo and conditioner rich in humectant ingredients. Treatment masks should be used regularly to maintain hydration. Finish with a leave-in product or cream to define curls and control frizz, plus you can add stylers like mousse or gel to extend the life of your hair.

2. Choose the right products

When shopping for shampoo and conditioner, prioritize moisturizing options that sanitize without stripping the natural oils from your hair. The ideal conditioner must be nourishing, ensuring combability and facilitating detangling.

3. The importance of deep nutrition

Maintaining a deep nutritional routine is essential for restoring moisture and nutrients, says Gabi. This process, in fact, improves dryness, reduces frizz and increases shine. Depending on need, it can be done once or twice a week.

4. Ingredients that should be avoided

To avoid damage, avoid products with sulfates, parabens, non-water-soluble silicones and dyes. These components can dry out hair, cause buildup or irritation on the scalp.

5. Detangling techniques without aggression

Always detangle wet hair by applying conditioner or conditioner. Use specific brushes for curls and start from the ends, gradually working your way up to the roots.

6. The secret of the perfect day after

Prolonging the definition of curls between washes is possible! Use water spray or light products to rehydrate your hair. When sleeping, opt for satin pillowcases or create a loose bun to avoid frizz.

7. Benefits of natural oils

Oils like argan, jojoba, and avocado help nourish and seal moisture into your hair. They are excellent for wetting and can be used for finishing, as long as they have thermal protection.

8. Frizz-free drying

Avoid ordinary towels: choose microfiber or cotton t-shirts to absorb excess water without friction. Dry your hair in the open air or use a diffuser with thermal protection, avoiding high temperatures.

9. Summer assistance

When it’s hot, invest in products with UV protection and nourishing masks. After a swim in the sea or pool, wash your hair well to remove chemical residues or salt.
