Pick your shampoo wisely 

Washing your hair is one of the most important steps in any hair care routine independent of the hair surface. Washing or purging guarantees that there is no residue of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria on your scalp. 

Utilize a gentle cleanser that does not have any form of harmful synthetic substances like sulfates, silicones, alcohols, and parabens that can disturb your scalp. Change to gentle surfactants that are aroma-free, sulfate-free, silicone-free, and paraben-free. 

Stay away from Excessive Shampooing 

Curly hair will in general become dry without any problem. Unreasonably shampooing your hair can suck out its normal dampness. Additionally, search for saturating fixings in your conditioner. 

Pre-Shampoo 

Pre-cleanser treatment is a rapture to those with curly hair. It helps in detangling and eliminating the frizz from your hair. Apply a hair mask or a conditioner to your dry hair by selecting them out into segments of hair. Leave in the conditioner for 20 minutes. You can put on a shower cap or a towel to trap some warmth and open up the hair follicles of the scalp. 

Don't brush curly hair 

Oh, no brushing curly hair never ends well, even if you are in the habit of brushing your curls then step away from it. Always use a wide-toothed comb on your curly hair before shampooing. Once you are done with washing your hair, you can run your fingers through your hair and it will do the job.

Keep in mind that you should never brush on wet hair as it leads to more breakage and hair fall. 

Avoid split ends 

Curly hair may get a lot of split ends as compared to straight hair, you can always opt for trimming the split ends but if you do not wish to do so, here are some other things that you can do with your split ends. 

• Always use a detangler when brushing to avoid pulling hair
• Try not to tie your hair back in a too-tight ponytail or a bun
• Always use a wide-tooth comb
• Heat can damage your hair and can lead to split ends 
• Get a trim every 2 to 3 months

Hot water or cold water?

This has been one of the longest debate topics ever, boiling water showers peel off the regular oil or sebum from your scalp and hair. It can likewise open up the scalp pores making the hair strands inclined to frizz and breakage. Coldwater washes are the best and are recommended by everyone for shampoo and conditioning. 

Sleep routine for curly hair 

People who have curly hair should always follow the pineapple trick for sleeping. All you have to do is take all your hair in a ponytail or a loose bun and sleep with your hair tied. This trick creates less friction between your hair and the pillowcase. You should also switch to satin or silk pillowcases instead of cotton cases to reduce friction that may cause hair fall. 

Things you should do with curly hair
