How To Quit Using Your Blow Dryer
Are you addicted to drying your curls with heat? If so, there’s no shame in your game! However, blow dryers can be tough on curls. Repetitive use of heat can lead to loss of moisture, dryness, and frizz. No one wants to deal with that. If you’re considering switching to air drying, here’s how to quit using your blow dryer.
Use a serum:
Thick, curly hair can frizz up if left to its own devices. In order to keep your strands shiny, you might want to consider using a shine serum. When applied to the ends of curls, it can help smooth down any splits, errant hair, and curls that don’t want to fall in line.
Keep it light:
If your curls are fine, you need to make sure you’re keeping things light, especially when it comes to products like conditioners. Heavy conditioners can weigh strands down, and make it difficult for hair to air dry. Curly girls in this situation often find themselves reaching for their hair dryer to hasten the process. Instead, opt for lightweight conditioners and products to allow curls the chance to dry quickly and naturally.
Use a mask:
For curly girls with thick, heavy curls, the rules are a bit different. Your curls will tend to puff up as they air dry, so using a mask in the shower can help. Add a mask to the end of your wash routine, and don’t rinse it out completely. This will allow your curls to enjoy the extra moisture, and help you skip having to add tons of extra products later on down the road.
Don’t skimp on products:
For curlies with thick, coarse, or kinky curls, products are going to be your friend. This means finding a great curl cream that will help curls maintain their shape and definition. Scrunch curls to apply the product, and pay attention to the ends. You can keep ends from frizzing up by adding a little curl defining cream to your finger tips and pinching the ends of your curls.
