Curly hair is dry hair. C’mon, let’s accept it! That’s definitely something that you must keep in mind when caring for it. Regardless of the season, the type of products that you use, whether shampoo, conditioner or leave-in cream should always be of the most moisturizing kind. Our money is on African Pride Moisture Miracle Honey & Coconut Oil Shampoo to see your curls through any dry spell. This shampoo is perfect for 4c hair as it gently cleanses it of any dirt or scalp residue without stripping it of its natural oils. Additionally, its brilliant blend of honey and coconut oil gives your curls the moisture boost it craves!

2. Let Your Conditioner Do the Work for You

Combing your curls after a hair wash is a total nightmare. Your tresses are at their most vulnerable at that time and being harsh will only lead to breakage. Instead of going down that road, detangle your hair with your fingers after you apply conditioner to it. The slip of the conditioner combined with the flowing water is enough to make the detangling process much easier. The next time you condition, try using African Pride Moisture Miracle Honey, Chocolate & Coconut Oil Conditioner to make detangling a dream process. The natural effects of the honey and coconut oil combined with the moisturizing effect of the chocolate nourishes your locks and leaves your hair silky and smooth. You’ll see why we suggest it and thank us for it!

3. T Is For T-Shirts Not Towels

Trust us girl – we all know how awful frizzy hair can be. After a lot of trial and error, we found that damping your curls with an old T-shirt gives a way better outcome than simply wringing the curls out with a towel. Wrapping your curls in satin or using a satin pillow case will also go a long way in providing you with gorgeous curls the next morning.

Ladies, you know we’d never lie to you, so believe us when we say that with the tips and hacks mentioned above, you’ll definitely be on your way to defined and soft curls in no time.
