Most of the things we can do to improve the condition of curly hair are done on our favourite day – wash day!
Even though we are ideally washing our hair every 3-4 days..doesn’t it just feel like it comes round more quickly than that?!
1. Stop Using Sulphates
Manufacturers add sulphates to shampoo to make them lather up. They are good at removing dirt, sebum and other products from the hair surface. So what’s the problem?
They are such harsh cleansers that they can actually strip your hair of natural oils and leave it dry and brittle.
Sulphates can also cause your scalp to feel dry and irritated. This is due to the removal of natural oil on the scalp and can lead to dandruff.
Curly hair is prone to a dry texture due to the way that sebum is produced at the follicle and distributed.
Its structure also makes it weaker due to cross-sectional points in the curls/waves. The last thing we need is drying out any more!
Best thing to do then? Use a moisturising, sulphate-free shampoo.
Your hair will still be cleansed but in a gentler way. A sulphate-free shampoo won’t lather up as much as other shampoos, but rest assured it is doing its job 👍
