3 simple tips to turn frizzy hair into gorgeous curls

Hair care is considered to be a notoriously complex process, requiring people to use numerous products sometimes accompanied by long-waiting periods to produce desired results. Following an extensive haircare routine on a rushed morning or on a day entailing brutal travel feels like a punch to the gut. The picture transforms further when people are specifically dealing with curly and wavy hair. The limited awareness, a niche market catering to requirements and lack of structured educational techniques for customers, ultimately turns haircare into a disaster.

The inaccurate notions surrounding curly and wavy hair about it requiring excess upkeep and arduous maintenance, make people resort to elaborate and lengthy techniques to solve their haircare complaints. Rather, the focus should be on preserving the hydration, definition and health with a few quick steps, which are easy to integrate in daily routines, ensuring zero compromise on the final results.

For power-packed mornings and tireless travel days, Isha Mahabal, Co-founder, The Curl Co shares a quick and easy three-step routine can help preserve the health of the curls, without it seeming like an eternity or eating into the slow morning energy.

The first step in the curly haircare routine should be refreshing the hair gently. In absence of any product, lightly misting the hair with water too would work. Frequent shampooing and excess usage of products can make the hair devoid of the natural oils and trigger dryness. One can also ditch a comprehensive wash routine and instead use a lightweight curl refresher to revive the curls. This step is swift, uncomplicated and can prove to be highly effective when compared to agonizingly slow routines consisting of countless steps.

Another important consideration for curly hair is moisture. Since curly hair often can get dehydrated, locking in sufficient hydration becomes crucial to maintain its overall health and texture. Using a serum or a leave-in cream or a lightweight product, can effectively contribute in providing the necessary hydration, especially when applied to mid-lengths. This step will also enrich the hair with definition and softness which is much needed in humid temperatures across India.

Providing sufficient protection against environmental factors, friction, and during travel can be achieved by inculcating habits, which also significantly improve hair quality. Using a shower cap, satin pillowcases, silk car headrest cover, loose hairstyles, can prove beneficial in reducing friction, maintaining texture and hair health. An easy-to-use multipurpose product too comes handy when always on the move.

Building a productive hair-care routine does not require a complete lifestyle overhaul. The quick 3-step routine lays a foundation for long-term positive results. A great routine is also dependent on a person’s willingness to stick to it. Consistent daily habits simplify the overall process of looking after curls and the real transformation starts showing. Commit to the process, track your progress and let the routine do the heavy lifting.
