Curly hair do grab eyeballs. Those sensuous whorls are enough to tangle hearts. But, hey, it’s not easy to manage those whorls and swirls and what not! Curly hair are most prone to becoming frizzy, coarse, and dry.
Thanks, or no thanks, to the curls, natural oils of scalp fail to reach the entire length of hair, leaving them drier.
However, with the right hair care routine, you can flaunt healthy and beautiful curls. Yet, with so many twists and turns on your hair, your mind gets ruffled with questions.
Here are a few frequently asked questions answered by our experts.
Well, there is science behind it. According to research, a strand’s curvature depends on the follicle.
So, all you curly-haired ladies, your follicles are asymmetrical. The hair they produce tend to curl and twist.
Patients who undergo chemotherapy lose almost all of their hair. When their hair grow back after a few months, they are curly. Why is that so? According to researchers, cancer drugs inhibit cellular receptor known as EGFR in the follicle. So, hair tend to grow curly, as these receptors are responsible for regulating hair growth.
No. Wash them twice or thrice a week only. Daily shampooing strips natural oils off your hair and renders them drier and wilder. If you live or work in a highly polluted environment or sweat a lot, wash them every alternate day, but still not every day.
Use sulfate-free, fortified shampoo to wash your curls. Sulfate-free formula is gentle to hair. Our experts recommend Keranique Scalp Stimulating Shampoo. It is a mild cleansing formula with vitamins, keratin, and moisturizing agents.
Curly or straight, hair always benefit from a nice oil massage. It stimulates blood flow to scalp and activates follicles, not mentioning the relaxation it provides.

Don’t always condition your hair. The curls may fall flat with regular conditioning. Skip conditioning, especially when you have massaged hair with oil. Only shampoo them mildly.
