It is best to let the strands dry on their own. However, if you choose a hair dryer for curly hair, remember to:

  • Use a model with an ionization function,
  • Use a lukewarm blow-dryer,

How to Cut Curly Hair

Cosmetics for Curly Hair

Curly hair tends to be dry, lack lustre and frizzy. In order for curly hair to look healthy and fall nicely into place, it must be properly moisturized and nourished. Cosmetics for their care should take into account these needs and at the same time be light and delicate. Some beauty salons offer professional hair care products for curly hair to enhance the curl and to provide curly hair with carefully selected ingredients.

Remember: curly hair products should not contain alcohol, as this dries out the hair strands.

Shampoo for Curly Hair
