Ready for your best curls yet? Let’s dive into our top 5 tips for flawless curly hair.

1. Hydration is Key—Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!

Curly hair tends to be drier than other hair types, so keeping it moisturized is essential for definition and frizz control. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some superstar curly hair products that will quench your curls’ thirst.

Our top pick? Innersense’s Hydrating Hairbath and Hydrating Cream Conditioner. This duo is the ultimate hydration boost, packed with nourishing ingredients like aloe and coconut oils to cleanse and soften your curls without stripping away their natural oils. Want to lock in moisture? Follow up with Mielle’s Pomegranate & Honey Curl Smoothie, which keeps your curls hydrated and defined all day long.

Pro Tip: Apply your products when your hair is soaking wet for maximum moisture retention. Thank us later!

2. Detangle with Care (Your Curls Will Thank You)

Curly hair can tangle easily, so being gentle during your detangling process is crucial. The goal? To avoid breakage and keep your curls intact. Here’s how to do it right:

Start by using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers while your hair is still wet and loaded with conditioner. We recommend using a creamy conditioner like Camille Rose's Algae Renew Deep Conditioner to soften your curls and make detangling a breeze. Work your way up from the ends to the roots, gently loosening any knots. If your curls are super tight or prone to tangles, section your hair and detangle one section at a time.

Pro Tip: Detangle in the shower for extra slip and minimal breakage. Your curls will thank you for it!

3. Don’t Skimp on Deep Conditioning

Want soft, shiny, bouncy curls? Make deep conditioning a regular part of your routine. Whether you’re dealing with dry ends, damage, or you just want to give your curls a little extra love, deep conditioning is a game-changer.

For those with curls in need of some serious TLC, try Mielle’s Babassu & Mint Deep Conditioner. It strengthens hair, boosts moisture, and leaves curls feeling soft and revitalized. Plus, the minty scent is so refreshing!

Pro Tip: Deep condition once a week to keep your curls strong and hydrated, especially if you use heat styling tools or colour your hair.

4. Embrace the LOC Method for Long-Lasting Curls

If you haven’t heard of the LOC method (Liquid, Oil, Cream), it’s time to get on board! This tried-and-true technique helps lock moisture into curly hair, keeping your curls hydrated and defined for longer periods of time.

Here’s how it works:

• Liquid: Start with a water-based leave-in conditioner like Innersense’s Sweet Spirit Leave-In Conditioner.
• Oil: Follow up with a light oil like Camille Rose’s Cocoa Nibs & Honey Oil to seal in moisture.
• Cream: Finish with a curl cream like Mielle’s Pomegranate & Honey Curl Smoothie to define and hold your curls in place.

Pro Tip: Play around with the amounts and order to find what works best for your curls. Some curls love the LOC method, while others thrive on LCO (Liquid, Cream, Oil).

5. Protect Your Curls at Night

Preserving your curls while you sleep is just as important as how you care for them during the day. The friction from cotton pillowcases can cause dryness and frizz, so it’s time to upgrade your nighttime routine.

Our go-to solution? A satin or silk pillowcase, bonnet, or scarf. These materials are much gentler on your hair and help reduce friction while you sleep. Another option is to loosely pineapple your hair at the top of your head before bed, keeping your curls intact for the next day.

Pro Tip: Give your curls a quick refresh in the morning with a light mist of water and a little bit of curl cream to bring them back to life!
