Although many new care products are hitting the pharmaceutical market every year, not all of them are beneficial for hair health. Whether we talk about shampoos, cleansers, or creams, some of these products are more damaging than healing. The reason behind this happening is easily noticeable: just like modern medicine, cosmetic products are good for some users, while other users might be allergic to the ingredients used for creating these products. If you know yourself as being allergic to various products, avoid using shampoos or cleansers for curly hair unless you are not 100% certain that they will not bring you any harm. Instead, you can always opt towards using natural methods to clean, hydrate, and nourish your curly hair. Many natural products are rich in oils, minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. 

Such a beneficial product is Aloe Vera. Aloe Vera is the main ingredient in creating many care products, such as shampoos, gels, and cleansers. An Aloe Vera gel is rich in enzyme and fatty acids, vitamins such as C, E, B-12, and folic acid. This gel works as a hair mask but it requires a good rinsing after letting the gel in your hair for around 10 minutes. The hydrating properties of Aloe Vera are amazing for dry or damaged hair. The results of using this gel will appear shortly after the first use. 

However, just by washing your hair with natural products, you will not obtain the healthiest curly hair. You will also have to comb it properly using a wide toothcomb. We advise using a comb made out of wood, as plastic is responsible for breaking hair threads. Moreover, the combing should be done from down to up for curly hair and the reasoning behind it is quite simple: when combing your hair from up to down you will gather many tangled knots by the end of the hair threads. By doing the combing from down to up you will untangle the knots gathered at the ends of your hair. Besides combing, you will also have to cut your damaged ends from time to time. You do not have to cut away centimeters from your curls, but only to trim the dead ends a little. This way you will maintain the bounciness of your curls. 

Here is another tip for you: using a hair diffuser from time to time will give volume to your curls. All you have to do is to try your hair properly after a shower, but avoid putting your hair into a bum or by wrapping it into a towel. If you do not want to burn your hair, use thermal hair protection while using the diffuser. Apply the protectant once your hair is dried, and then use the diffuser to increase the volume of your curls. These curly hair tips are easy to follow and the products you need for maintaining your curly hair hydrated and healthy are affordable and accessible. Now your struggle with frizzy and dried hair will soon be over.
