Do You Use Apple Cider Vinegar for your High Porosity Natural Hair?
By gerilynhayes · Published March 28, 2017

If you answered, “No” then, you should!

According to our very own NaturallyCurly trusted texture typing system, “High porosity hair has gaps and holes in the cuticle, which let too much moisture into your hair and leave it prone to frizz and tangling in humid weather. Even simple acts such as bathing, swimming, and shampooing can create more damage and breakage due to the sheer amount of moisture highly porous hair can absorb.”

Yikes!

These facts are not something that wavies, curlies, and coilies take lightly. In fact, we have all been trying to figure out how to find that one catch-all ingredient that does one thing and one thing only: Get these curls right!

What if I told you that all of us in the community have already stumbled upon the one catch-all ingredient that does this for nearly every curl pattern and texture type? That’s right, my fellow curl friends. Apple cider vinegar, a household salad dressing, entree additive, and in-a-pinch all-natural window cleaner has been giving our curls the TLC they need for years. Now, Cantu has given you an entire hair care system based on our community’s favorite natural ingredient!

Do you still need convincing to use apple cider vinegar on your high porosity natural hair and textured curls?

The beauty of apple cider vinegar is that it smooths the hair cuticle, making curls that are prone to frizz more receptive to styling that lasts longer. What’s even better? It’s going to work for you based on your specific curl and/or scalp concerns.* According to natural hair expert and mom-on-the-go Michelle Thames for CurlyNikki.com, there are several benefits of this powerful ingredient including product buildup removal, hair loss prevention, and itchy scalp and dandruff relief.

Now what kind of a curl friend would I be if I simply hoarded an entire new hair care system by Cantu Beauty? A terrible one!

Curly Hairstyles To Try In 2025
Sabrina Carpenter on Instagram
By Larry Stansbury · Updated December 24, 2024

Can you believe it’s almost 2025? While we’re looking back at all the beauty moments of this year at all this year’s beauty moments, we’re also looking forward to the trends coming in the new year, specifically for the curls. “The focus is all about embracing natural textures,” says IGK NYC hairstylist Olya Iudina. “People are moving away from over-styled looks and leaning into the beauty of their own curls.” 

Remember how people were diffusing their curls? Yep, it’s still on the horizon. “Embracing your natural curls has been making a big comeback in 2024 and for 2025,” says RPZL Master Stylist Stephanie Angelone. “Instead of blowing your hair out, a round brush using the diffusing nozzle with curling products and letting natural curls dry without frizz is on the upswing.”

This year, we’re seeing a surge in styles that celebrate the beauty of all curls, from bold Jheri Curls to curly pixie. For specific hairstyles, layered bobs, heavy fringes, and voluminous shapes offer versatility and showcase curls in their best spotlight. Regarding curly hair, we’re focusing on low-maintenance yet high-impact hairstyles (especially if we’re trying to look good when running late to work). Let’s remember beauty products to maintain the volume of the curls. “The main focus here is moisture,” says Iudina. “Something that will enhance hair texture and won’t bring it down.”

2025 is the year for the curls to shine. We’re here to express ourselves with the power of hair while keeping it chic and healthy. 

Below for some inspiring curly hair looks to consider rocking in the new year.
