Rule #1

I don't recommend brushing curly hair every morning and evening. Since this type of hair is highly susceptible to breakage and fragility. Therefore, my first recommendation is to comb your curls only when washing with a mask or balm, as well as before drying with a preliminary application of serum or fluid.

Rule #2

If your client wants to grow long curls, be sure to recommend using only low molecular weight moisturizing masks once every 5-7 days. They must be kept under a plastic cap and exposed to heat for 15 to 60 minutes). After the mask, you must apply a balm - it should also be moisturizing.

Remember that curly and curly hair is sorely lacking in moisture! And this moment must be controlled.

Rule #3

Be sure to always use leave-in curl-defining serums that don't contain too much styling. This way, the curls will look more natural and will not wrinkle or curl while you sleep.

Rule #4

Since often curly and wavy hair does not become oily at all due to its porous structure, I strongly recommend using phytoenzyme peels once a week. This action will prevent you from developing dandruff, accumulation of telogen effluvium (in the hair loss phase), as well as seborrheic dermatitis. Remember that hygiene is the key to the health of your skin, and therefore the health of your hair.
