Hair Products for Curly Hair

Instructions

• STEP 1: For men who like to show off their curls, try a curl boosting spray gel.
The spray will enhance your curls and give them structure, as well as keep your
curls from going frizzy.
• STEP 2: There are also curl-enhancing pomades which will give definition to
curls as well as a healthy looking gloss to hair.
• STEP 3: For men who want to tame their curls, a smoothing serum or
straightening pomade will help smooth out curls and waves. For best curl control
blow-dry your hair straight with a vent brush after application of the hair product.

No matter if your hair is worn long, short or somewhere in between, healthy hair is
always in fashion. Learn how to get healthy hair and how to fake it until it gets there.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Get any split ends you may have trimmed off. No matter what a product
claims, nothing will repair split ends except a trim. If split ends are left uncut they
will continue to split farther up the shaft and damage more of your hair. Get rid of
them to keep the damage to a minimum.
• STEP 2: For moderately damaged hair, find a good quality shampoo and
conditioner. Choose products specifically for dry/damaged hair.
• STEP 3: Try shampooing your hair less. Washing your hair every day can strip
natural oils that help protect the hair and keep it looking and feeling healthy. Try
washing your hair every second or third day to maintain a natural moisture
balance.
• STEP 4: Try using products such as a proteinizer and reconstructor if you have
extremely dry hair. The proteinizer will strengthen your hair while the
reconstructor will work on a molecular level to replace what your hair is missing.
• STEP 5: Try using styling products with added shine enhancers, such as silicone.
They will give your hair sheen and help protect each strand against the damage of
heated styling tools, such as blow driers and flat irons.
• STEP 6: Give your hair a break from the heat. Try using styling tools such as
blow driers, flat irons, curling irons, and hot rollers sparingly. Whenever possible
let your hair air dry either completely or most of the way and only blow dry to
finish off the drying process. Try using your flat iron or hot rollers only every
