Curly hair is naturally dry and requires extra moisture and gentle care. Always use a sulphate-free shampoo to avoid removing natural oils, followed by a hydrating conditioner to keep curls soft and manageable. Avoid overwashing; washing 2–3 times a week is sufficient.

Weekly deep conditioning or hair masks help strengthen curls and reduce frizz. Detangle hair only when it is wet, using fingers or a wide-tooth comb. Limit heat styling, and always use a heat protectant if styling tools are used. Apply curl creams or gels on damp hair to enhance curl definition, and get regular trims to maintain shape and bounce.
