The Beauty of Coily Hair
If you're blessed with coily hair, you know that it comes with its unique set of characteristics and challenges. Fear not, as we're here to guide you through the essentials of coily hair care, helping you embrace and celebrate your beautiful curls.
Understanding Coily Hair:
Coily hair is characterized by tight, spiral-shaped curls that can range from fine to coarse in texture. This hair type is prone to dryness and can shrink significantly in length when dry. The curls form a distinctive pattern, adding a unique charm to your overall look. It's essential to understand the specific needs of coily hair to maintain its health and vibrancy.
How to Care for Coily Hair:
Hydration is Key:
Coily hair tends to be drier due to the natural oils having a hard time traveling down the tight curls. Regular hydration is crucial to maintaining healthy, moisturized coils. Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo and a rich conditioner to keep your curls hydrated.
Deep Conditioning:
Treat your coily hair to a deep conditioning session regularly. Deep conditioning helps restore moisture, strengthens the hair, and minimizes breakage. Look for products with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, argan oil, or coconut oil.
Gentle Detangling:
Coily hair can be prone to tangling, so it's important to detangle it gently. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to remove knots while the hair is wet and coated with conditioner. This minimizes breakage and preserves the integrity of your curls.
Protective Styling:
Embrace protective styles like braids, twists, or buns to minimize manipulation and protect your coily hair from environmental factors. These styles also help retain moisture and promote healthy hair growth.
Avoid Heat Damage:
While occasional heat styling is okay, excessive use of heat can lead to damage and breakage. If you must use heat, always use a heat protectant and opt for lower temperatures to prevent unnecessary stress on your coils.
Use Satin or Silk:
Swap out cotton pillowcases for satin or silk ones to reduce friction and prevent moisture loss during the night. This simple change can make a significant difference in maintaining your coily hair's moisture levels.
Embracing your coily curls requires a unique approach to hair care, and at The Lavish Luster, we understand the delicate nature of coily hair textures. Our specially formulated products are designed to provide the TLC your curls deserve, combining ultra-light solutions with extra-rich nourishment. Let's explore the top-notch tips and tricks to achieve and maintain stunning, healthy coily curls.
Coily hair is a beautiful and unique texture that deserves the right care and attention
1. Indulge in Natural Oils:
Coily curls crave hydration, and our range of natural oil infusions, like the Pure Aura Hair Oil, is tailor-made for this hair type. With over 20 pure oils, this luscious blend visibly repairs and leaves your hair looking and feeling healthier than ever.
2. Nourish with Hair Butter:
Rich in fatty acids, our Pure Aura Hair Smoothie boasts a 5 Butter Blend that moisturizes your curls, preventing breakage and enhancing elasticity over time. Say goodbye to dullness and hello to a healthy-looking gloss.
3. Hydrate with Water, Not Just Shampoo:
Moisture is the key to happy curls, and water is your best friend. Wet your hair at least once a week, but remember, shampooing isn't always necessary. Opt for sulfate-free shampoos like our Pure Aura Hair to retain essential moisture and the Pure Aura Hair Rephresher.
4. Banish Silicones from Your Routine:
Silicones may have their place in straightening products, but they're unnecessary in conditioners or moisturizers. The Lavish Luster's commitment to silicone-free products ensures your coily hair gets the care it truly deserves.
5. Ditch Mineral Oils for Healthier Locks:
Mineral oils can wreak havoc on naturally curly hair, leaving it brittle and dry. Our products steer clear of mineral oils, allowing your strands to thrive by preventing moisture blockage and promoting healthy hair growth.
6. Weekly Deep Conditioning Ritual:
Treat your coily curls to a weekly deep conditioning session using silicone-free conditioners like our Pure Aura Hair Conditioner. Watch as your hair becomes more resilient and vibrant with each application.
7. Wet Detangling and Air Drying:
Combat knots and tangles by combing your coily hair when it's wet or damp, generously coated with conditioner. The Lavish Luster recommends the gentle touch of air drying for optimal results.
8. Opt for Protective Styling:
Coily hair flourishes when styled protectively. Try twists, braids, buns, or any style that shields your hair as it dries, ensuring it remains healthy and vibrant.
9. Understand the Difference Between Oil and Moisture:
While oils and butters are excellent for locking in existing moisture, water-based moisturizers are essential for providing new moisture to your hair follicles. Combine both for a winning combination that keeps your curls happy and hydrated.
10. Elevate Your Sleeping Habits:
Give your curls the love they deserve even while you sleep. Wrap them in a scarf or bonnet to maintain their health and vitality.
