Partnering with a curl specialist is the first step towards establishing your best curl care routine

If you’re curly, coily or kinky haired, you might have felt that your curls are difficult to manage and style.  But with the right products and a little help from a professional, it’s possible to find curls that look as good as they feel!  That’s where partnering with a curl specialist comes into play.  They can help you understand what your curls need, whether it be regular trims or something more specific like tips when styling.

What is a curl specialist?
A curl specialist is someone who specializes in the unique needs of curly hair.  Curly hair can be easily damaged if not properly cared for, so it requires special treatment to stay healthy and happy.  A curl specialist understands this, and will work with you to find products that fit your specific needs.  They’ll also help you develop an understanding of how your hair responds best to certain treatments such as deep conditioning or protein treatments (or both), which will make it easier for you to maintain a consistent routine at home.

What do curl specialists do?
Curl specialists can teach you about what products are right for your curls, as well as what your hair needs so that you can maintain your hair at home in between salon visits.   

Curl specialists are trained to know exactly what’s best for your curls.  With their guidance, they can help you understand what your curls need and how to achieve your ultimate style goals.  They also know the products that work best on curly hair, so they can recommend the right products for you.  If you have questions about styling or maintenance, they will have answers!

Curly hair is different from straight hair or wavy hair.  If you have curly hair, you know what I mean!  Your curls may be tight and springy, or they may be loose and frizzy.  Men can have curly hair too—and it’s often more difficult to manage than women's natural curls because of the tendency for male curls to grow out rather than down.

Curls are beautiful and versatile, but you need to know how to care for and style them properly.  

Here are a few tips on how to make your curls look their best:

• Apply styling products for curl definition.  Using a gel, custard or foam with hold to define your curls.
• Making sure to dry hair with a dryer instead of air drying.
• Preserve your hair style at night with a silk bonnet, buff, silk scarf or silk pillowcase.

We hope that you’re able to find your perfect curl care routine and start enjoying the beautiful, bouncy curls you always wanted.  Good luck on finding a curl specialist to partner with!
