Curly Hair

Below is a letter I recieved from a client who was thinking or straightening her hair. Instead we Reconditioned it and showed her how to work with the curl...seems to be going well.​

 

Douglas,

Thanks for your e-mail. I was meaning to write but it just slipped my mind in the general scheme of things. I must tell you I love styling my hair this way though I am still not very good at using the diffuser - getting there though. My husband liked it too.......and the best part is it is a lot easier to style with the diffuser than trying to straighten it with a brush!!!! Thanks. Anyways, will see you this thursday for my appointment.

Thanks a ton. Vidhya ​

- Curly hair has several advantages and disadvantages in tropics ​

The good part...you will have more curl.  The bad part, you will have more curl.​

- To control your curl

  you will need to follow some very basic conditioning practices addressed in the the Reconstruction and Frizzies Page.

​
I also suggest reconditioning more often for curly hair.​

Why?​

Because curly hair has a more abraded cuticle, that is a raised or ruff cuticle, than normal hair. As the hair bends the cuticle stands out more thus causing the cuticle to rise more as it is on a bend. Curly hair is often overlooked by stylists as they rarely see these type of clients on a frequent basis.

This said, there are some marvelous products out there for curly hair. You first have to decide if you want the curl or not. If you do than a mild Mousse will be in order. But beware; most mousse is very drying to your hair.


Suggested Mousse:

'Phyto' Mousse is an organically based Mousse and non-drying​

'Aveda' Mousse is not as botanical but is moistuizing and no-drying​

'Senscience' a good choice and very cost effective ​

​

Suggested Leave in Conditioners​

:​

'Phyto 9' by Phyto...excellent leave in conditioner for curly hair​
​
'Cure Pod' ...hard to find but an excellent product​

'Sencience' Moisture Mist...cost effective and good​

GREAT TIP​

'Phyto' makes a special line of products especially for ethnic and curly hairthough hard to find it is worth the search.​
