A complete guide to the best curl routine
Curly hair, with its exceptional, unique beauty, sometimes requires a little extra care and attention. At Skins, we know that taking care of this hair type is a personal journey full of individual needs and products. In this blog, we share a step-by-step guide that optimises your curly hair routine. From the initial pre-treatment to the final finishing touch, learn how to give your locks the attention they deserve so you can enjoy beautifully defined, healthy curls every day.
Start by prepping the scalp
Curly hair often requires a comprehensive routine consisting of different types of hair products. During the week, we often add products to this to give curls a refresher. The frequent use of many hair products can sometimes result in irritation of the scalp, or build-up of product residue. Therefore, we recommend treating the scalp carefully before washing your curls. To do this, use Philip B's CBD Scalp and Body Oil, which effectively reduces redness and irritation of the scalp. About 30 minutes before showering, apply a few drops of oil to the scalp, gently massage it, and let it soak in.
Take care of the scalp with a treatment shampoo
After deeply cleansing the scalp and removing product residues, we want to rehydrate it. We do this by adding a second cleanse to the routine. This is a milder cleanse that ensures the scalp is cared for. Try Virtue's Curl Shampoo, which protects against heat and reduces frizz. Alpha Keratin 60ku protein offers volume to finer hair, making it look fuller. Apply the shampoo directly to the scalp and massage the product in with Virtue's Flourish Manta Brush. The fine bristles of the brush stimulate blood flow to the scalp, resulting in a balanced scalp and optimal hair growth.
Discover the magic of styling
Two elements are essential for styling curls: hydration and hold. With a curl cream, we condition the hair, and with a gel, we create defined curls. Start by applying Larry King Haircare's Nourishing Curl Enhancer. Enriched with conditioning oils and natural ingredients that enhance curls, this cream protects hair from humid conditions. The product adds volume, helps reduce frizz and offers protection against heat. Squeeze the product well into the hair and then apply Virtue's Curl Defining Gel. The hold of this gel will keep your curls looking great all day. Then, let the hair air dry or blow dry with a diffuser. Complete your routine with the Rahua Amazon Oil. Apply a few drops of oil to your hands and gently squeeze the curls to break up the gel's firming layer. This will reveal a beautiful, natural bunch of curls.
