From frizz to definition, moisture to volume, curly hair comes with its own unique set of needs and challenges. But once you learn how to work with your curls instead of against them, your routine can go from frustrating to fabulous.

- Use a leave-in conditioner or curl refresher spray. - Wear a silk/satin wrap at night to protect curls from friction and frizz. - Try to avoid touching your hair throughout the day to avoid breakage.

- Cleanse by using a sulfate-free shampoo or co-wash. - Use a slip-rich conditioner and detangle with a wide-tooth comb. - Apply a deep conditioner or hair mask.

- Use a protein treatment if hair feels limp or overly soft.  - Use a gentle scalp scrub or scalp massage with oil to remove buildup and boost blood flow.

- Use a clarifying shampoo to reset and remove any product build-up or hard water minerals.  - Trim off any split ends every 2-3 months to keep curls bouncy and healthy.

- Get your hair cut or reshaped to complement your curl texture. - Swap for lighter or heavier products to match the season.  - Try a clay mask or apple cider vinegar to reset scalp pH.

- Try to avoid using heat often. Frequent styling causes damage and loss of curl pattern over time. - Using regular towels to dry hair causes friction and frizz, opt for microfiber or cotton materials.

- It's best not to brush out dry hair. To detangle, use a wide-tooth comb or fingers. - Don't overload on protein, this will make your hair stiff and brittle. Only use treatments based on what your hair feels like it needs.

Remember that not every method or new trend will work on your curls. Learn what works for your hair through trial and observation. Your routine should be customized, not copy-pasted.
