1. Hydration is Essential
Curly and wavy hair tends to be drier than other hair types because natural oils have a harder time traveling down the twists and turns of the hair shaft. This can lead to dryness, frizz, and breakage. Hydration is key to maintaining healthy, shiny hair.
Tip: Use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner like Curlit’s Curly Leave-In Conditioner for tighter curls and Wavy Leave-In Conditioner for softer waves. Both products are designed to provide lasting moisture, reduce frizz, and keep your hair feeling smooth and nourished.

2. Sleep Smart to Protect Your Hair
When you sleep, your hair can get tangled, frizzy, and lose its shape. It’s important to use the right techniques and tools to protect your curls and waves while you sleep.
Tip: Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase, as these materials help reduce friction, minimize frizz, and protect the natural texture of your hair. Alternatively, tie your hair up in a loose pineapple (a high ponytail) or use a satin bonnet to keep your curls or waves intact overnight.

3. Gel Helps Lock in Hydration and Prevent Over-Washing
Many people mistakenly skip using gel altogether. However, the gel is designed to provide hold and structure, not to hydrate. If you skip using gel, your curls or waves might get frizzy by the end of the day.
Tip: Always use gel after applying leave in conditioner. The leave-in conditioner will provide the necessary moisture, while the gel will help define your curls or waves and hold the style in place. This reduces the need for frequent refreshing or overwashing.
