Q&A for How to Wash Curly Hair

You can apply a leave-in conditioner to your hair every day. Getting curly hair wet every day, even if you're not shampooing, is not ideal.

To co-wash, rinse your hair and run a lightweight conditioner through it, starting at the ends. Comb your hair, massage your scalp, and rinse out the conditioner.

Brushing makes curly hair puffy and disturbs the curl pattern. Combing is preferable and should only be done on wet hair.

For curly (not wavy) hair, it is best to wash no more than once a week. You can rinse and condition in between shampoos if desired.

Yes, that's recommended. Sectioning your hair will also give you control to ensure that your hair is not only clean, but also tangle-free. especially if it's long and curly.

Since your hair is dyed, you should use a shampoo that is safe for color treated hair.

It's not the best idea, it'll cause a lot of frizz and break your hair strands, damaging your hair. Use a comb or your fingers instead.

Yes, or you could also use a comb. You should do it while the conditioner is still in your hair.

With long curly hair, it is necessary to use leave-in conditioners in the bottom third of your hair. Only brush this section as well, as brushing the rest draws out all of the curl and leaves it looking flat. You want the definition. Use a shampoo and conditioner with either sea mineral oils or whipped egg whites, as these make your hair seem weightless.

Actually, it's best that you don't brush curly hair when dry, as doing so damages the roots. If you chose to brush your hair, use wet fingers rather than a brush.

Like washing, that is totally up to you. But, when you have curly hair that tends to get dry if you don't add a lot of moisture, it is preferred that you deep condition once a week.

Don't wash your hair every day, because it will dry your hair and make it brittle. Wash it every two to three days (or if necessary) and use leave-in conditioner.

Use lots of conditioner in the shower, but try to shampoo only once every two to three days. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb when it's wet, but try to avoiding combing it when it's dry. If need be, you can get a styling cream or leave-in conditioner for some extra help controlling frizz.

The rule is "24 hours for the air to work its powers." So you should be good.

Make sure you start off with damp hair. Put your hair into sections. Apply a leave in conditioner and either finger combing it in or using a wide tooth comb. Next, use an oil or serum to lock in the moisture. Then, apply a hair moisturizer or cream. When your done doing that, get a t-shirt and scrunch the excess product out of your hair.

Time! Avoid getting it cut. Since curly hair bounces up, it's probably longer than you think!

There are many options, but what works best for you depends on the individual. You can try John Freda Frizz-Ease, and many Bed Head products for curly hair.

I have short curly hair and i've used shirts that are made of mostly cotton and then some other materials but it all works! I think the more cotton it has, the less frizz you'll encounter.

When you deep condition, it is important you do it on wet hair, so your hair is ready for the mixture. You could leave it in your hair anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes.

Try braiding it when it is 40% wet to keep the curls together. I find Dutch braids work best, but do whatever you are capable of. Keep it like that until it's pretty much dry.

Once a day should be okay, but you could try doing it once every two days depending on how often you like to shower. Besides, you can always adjust it later if your hair is too frizzy or tangled.

Wait until it's about 70% dry before you run through it with a wide toothed comb or your fingers.

Wash it regularly, brush it well and don't use any heavy products.

If you use a lot of heat on your hair, lower the use of heat. Or, just stop using heat at all on your hair for a long time. Examples if heat on your hair include: washing it with hot water, blow drying, straightening your hair. Also split ends lead to dry hair, so be sure to deal with these before they make your hair dry.

For medium-thick curly hair, wash your hair every two to three days. A small amount of natural oil will help your hair texture look even better. However, if you love to exercise, you may need to co-wash (wash with conditioner) in between shampoos.

Ask her to wash her hair thoroughly. If that doesn't work, then try using shampoos with a thinner volume. Some shampoos are super thick and they are not the best choice. Also, try using the strongest water setting on the shower rose, to apply water pressure to the hair.

It may sound silly, but you can use a clean pair of underwear as a cap. Put the waistband around first, then tuck into the waistband any of the extra cloth from around the leg holes. A plus is that cotton panties helps blot up excess water after washing your hair, and a fresh pair will also keep your scalp warm during the night.

Use the amount of conditioner recommended on the bottle (usually about the size of a quarter). Spread it evenly on the ends of your hair. For long hair, spread it from chin level and down. Don't apply conditioner to your scalp.

Yes. It will leave your hair clean, but shampoo for curly hair will work better for your hair.
