Easy Steps to Maintain Kinky Curls

Who run the World? Curls!

When it comes to kinky curly hair, most people cringe thinking ‘too much up-keep!’ But we are here to break that myth. Going natural and embracing those kinky curls is actually the easiest thing to do and it keeps your hair chemical-free. Trust us, we know your natural ‘fro is all you need to turn heads and these tips will tell you just how. You will be sure to agree once you are done reading this one. Follow these easy steps to maintain your kinky curls.

1. Moisture

Kinky hair needs moisture. Lots and lots of it! At least once a day, grab your favourite hair moisturizer and apply it thoroughly through your strands. Make sure you massage it enough for it to penetrate your hair. Once you have spent this precious time for your precious tresses, you obviously don’t want it going to waste in just a few hours, do you? In comes the oil. Our pick is African Pride Olive Miracle Braid Sheen Spray enriched with Jojoba and Olive oil! Apply it after all the moisturizing you did before. This ensures you have sealed in all that moisture. Learn how to moisturize natural braids.

2. Co-Washing

Using too much shampoo to clean your strands can strip your hair of the natural oils it needs. That is a death sentence for kinky hair. Ask us what is the safest way to keep your hair clean without putting it through the harmful chemicals? And we’ll say, Co-washing. Ditch the shampoo and replace it with a moisturizing conditioner, which acts like the best of both worlds – cleaning your scalp while moisturizing your hair! Though co-wash isn’t always a replacement for a shampoo, your scalp needs a thorough cleanse once in a while. Learn how to wash box braids.

3. Night-Time Care

Here’s a simple hack to make sure your kinky curls stay bouncy and curly after a good night’s sleep. The trick is to tie them up in a loose top ponytail and let your hair flop over and do its thing. Put on a silk scarf or bonnet… yes, you read that right – a silken bonnet. And our Grandmas are smiling! So place it over your hair or loosely wrap it around. The next day, instead of waking up to a matted, tangled mess, let your eyes ogle over your perfectly voluminous curls. The nighttime routine is equally important to maintain your kinky curls.

4. Ditch The Comb

Combs are your curls’ worst enemy! Keep them far away from your curls if you love them. Should your hair get tangled, use your fingers to gently separate the knots. Never ever run your comb through dry hair. Use a detangling spray to make the process easier.

So go ahead and slay it with ’em kinky curls! Don’t forget to checkout these Protective Hairstyles For Natural Hair too.
