Moisturize: Moisturizer is essential both in and out of the shower. In shower, use a thick and rich conditioner to strengthen your curls. Don’t forget to use the proper technique while applying. Apply conditioner from the midshaft to the ends, combing the product into your curls. If you’re going to wear your curls in a wash and go style, a leave in conditioner is a must. Use oils to seal your ends and keep moisture from escaping.

Cowash: Ditch the shampoos and use a light conditioner to wash your curls instead. Your scalp will still get clean while keeping moisture intact. Follow this with a deep conditioner to keep your curls smooth and frizz free.

Dry: Roughing up your curls with a traditional terry towel is a sure way to create frizz and damage. Reach for a microfiber towel instead. Squeeze your curls to remove excess water instead of rubbing your head.

Comb: Toss your brushes. Brushes add unnecessary stress to wet curls, leading to damage and frizz. If you need to use a comb at all, grab a wide toothed one. Once you’ve combed through, help your curls’ definition by twirling. Grasp small sections of hair in your fingers and twirl to mimic your natural curl pattern. Repeat until you’ve twirled your entire head. This is a good time to diffuse or allow your curls to air dry naturally.
