We know because we’ve been there.
And there are other ladies who have never really learned how to work with their manes.
We’ve been there.
Now we know better and can pass on our curly knowledge to you.
If you have curly or wavy hair, check that you avoid making the following mistakes.
(It sucks the moisture out of your skin, too, FYI.)
It’s best to use warm water when you’re in the shower.
Before you get out, do a rinse with cold water to prevent frizz.
Using a regular towel
If you have curly hair, regular towels are your enemy.
Drop the terry cloth now!
Even if your towels are super soft, they will make your hair go all Monica-Geller-in-Barbados.
Do yourself and your curls a favor, and buy amicrofiber towelto squeeze out excess moisture.
This is not optional.
verify you apply all your products to wet, microfiber towel-dried hair.
Then diffuse in sections with your head turned upside-down.
You will not believe your curls!
Curls should never be brushed.
Since curls need more moisture than other hair types, don’t shampoo more than three times a week.
And if you’re able to make the switch to a low-poo orno-poo cleansingsolution, do so.
Also, do a deep conditioning treatment once or twice a week to really moisturize and protect your hair.
Your curls will thank you, we promise.
Using regular hair ties
Most hair ties are not curl-friendly.
They tug, snag, and tangle, which causes curls to knot and break.
We don’t want that.
So how should you tie up your hair?
Scrunchies and thick elastics.

Touching them
Once you’re done styling your curls, stop touching them!
