You may know how important it is to be careful with your curls and to treat them gently. When it comes to styling your curls, this rule still stands. In fact, extra care should be taken to prevent damage to your curls, especially if you choose to use heat to style. Here are some basic but valuable tips on how to safely style your curls with or without heat.
- When using heat to dry, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer and don’t dry your hair completely. Stop diffusing when your hair is still slightly damp. This will help reduce your chances of causing heat damage.
- When you use a hairdryer or any other heat tool, use a leave in product that will protect your hair, such as a heat protectant. Work the product through all of your hair prior to using heat.
- No heat means just that — no hairdryer or heat tools. Allow your hair to air dry after applying your favorite styling product. If you go to bed with wet hair, use a satin pillow case to sleep on or pineapple your curls. When your hair is dry, gently rake it with your fingers and finish with pomade or finishing product of your choice.
