Curly Hair Care: How to Keep Your Curls Healthy and Defined

Curly hair is beautiful — but it needs unique care to avoid dryness and frizz. Here’s how to master your curls.

1. Moisture Is Everything
Curly hair is naturally drier. Use hydrating shampoos and masks weekly.

2. Co-Washing
Skip shampoo occasionally and wash with conditioner only.

3. Detangle Gently
Always detangle when wet, with a wide-tooth comb and plenty of conditioner.

4. The LOC Method
Layer Leave-in conditioner → Oil → Cream to lock in hydration.

5. Air Dry Over Heat
Heat disrupts curl patterns. Let curls air dry or diffuse on low heat.

6. Refresh Between Washes
Spritz with water + leave-in mix to revive curls.

7. Protect Overnight
Pineapple updo + silk pillowcase keeps curls intact.

👉 Final Thought: Defined curls require consistent hydration. Use VAO Mask weekly to boost bounce and eliminate frizz.
