EDGES All you need is a silk scarf, a bit of edge control, a tooth brush, and 10 minutes. Laying down you edges is a simple art. But it’s so easy if you get the hang of it. With an old cleaned toothbrush, take your favourite gel and brush any frizz down – then cover for a short time. Before you know it, those frizzes are behaving! 6. DEEP CONDITION WITH HEAT Using heat is almost a dirty word if you have textured hair! No judgement, use heat sparingly. But using heat to condition is an exception to the rule. Why heat? According to Carving Yellow, it lifts hair cuticles, allowing all the good stuff to be absorbed into our strands. Secondly, it can enhance the absorption of the products themselves. For example, if a deep conditioning treatment is oil/butter based, heat can be used to break down fat molecules so that they are small enough to be absorbed. Tabitha from Carving Yellow also presents 3 different methods to use heat when you are conditioning: a) Steamer Whilst sitting under a hooded dryer with a moisturizing deep conditioner without a plastic cap, moister is allowed to infuse into your hair. If your hair is really dry and is prone to damage, using moist heat can bring relief b) Dry Heat This method consists of sitting under a hooded dry with a moisturizing conditioner and a plastic cap. Dry heat vaporizes the moisture on and around our hair and lifts our cuticles, allowing the product to be better absorbed. c) Body Heat All you have to do for this method consist of applying your conditioner and let you natural heat do the work for you. 7. USE A STORE BAG INSTEAD OF A SHOWER CAP Finding a use for the hundreds of store bags you may have lying around your home, is an added bonus to finding a cheap alternative to finding a shower cap for your conditioning routine. You may look a little silly, but hopefully you decide to stay instead Page 6
for the hour or so of deep conditioning. 8. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR RINSES ARE THE BEST FOR CLEANSING YOUR HAIR OF PRODUCT BUILDUP Vinegar is often used for cleaning. But apple cider vinegar is really essential in a curly girl’s beauty routine. It is packed with tons of nutrients all of which include B vitamins, vitamin C and potassium. It even has properties that restores your hair, restoring it back to its natural pH. It smooths hair cuticles on contact, as well as cleanses any excess dirt or oil. Amazing, right?! According to Coconut and Kettle Belles, Apple cider vinegar also contains natural alphahydroxy acid, which gently exfoliates the scalp and hair, allowing for removal of dead skin cells and build up that can occur from sweat and/or conventional hair products. 9. ADD OIL TO YOUR CONDITIONER FOR EASIER DE-TANGLING This little trick helps curly and kinky hair to get the added moister that it needs. The oil is actually not for the moister: that’s the water’s job! The added oil to your conditioner is to lock in the moister. As <strong>Curly</strong> Nikki says, anything that is going to help improve water retention in the hair is ideal for dry textured hair. Oils that work, depending on what you hair likes of course, include: coconut oil, Jamaican black Castor oil, grapeseed oil, and jojoba oil. 10. DO NOT WASH EVERYDAY, USE CONDITIONER (CO- WASH) <strong>Curly</strong> hair is naturally dry, and shampooing your hair too often tends to make it brittle by washing out the natural oils your curls need to stay in tact. When you do shampoo (which should be no more than a few times a week), keep the lather close to your scalp, and let the excess soapy water take care of the tresses. (Zoe Weiner, Bustle) Rinse your hair with an Apple Cider Vinger and baking soda mix, and then condition your hair on wash days. Let your natural oils reach your tips with leaving your hair be for at least 2 weeks. You can also buy affordable pre-poo or low-poo products to keep your curls clean and flourished. Page 7
