4. Avoid heat
If you want the best curls then you cannot destroy them using heat. There are ways to use heat and maintain your curl pattern but there is no guarantee that every curl will remain intact when you use heat often.
This means no flat irons* or blow dryers*! Just walk away!
5. Get a curly trim from a stylist that does curly cuts
Before you embark on your best curly life ever get a trim and preferably one that gives your hair some shape while it is in its curly state.
Stylists are getting more familiar with trimming natural hair while it is curly so just find one that specializes in that type of cut. Search Instagram or Style Seat for a stylist that suits your needs.
6. Get plenty of exercise and water
One of the best ways to hydrate your curls is through great internal health. Drinking loads of water ensures that your hair is hydrated from the inside out and getting plenty of exercise increases blood flow to the scalp so that your follicles are constantly fed with oxygen and nutrients.
7. Eat healthy
This goes hand in hand with option 6 because the nutrients you consume is what will feed your hair overall. Eat foods that encourage hair growth and that natural shine you often hear people talk about.
Vitamin A*, Vitamin C*, and the B Vitamins* are all essential to your hair’s health so eat food to supplement your awesome hair care.
