It is clear that curly hair has its own particularities and that is precisely why the curly method exists, to get the most out of the curls. Now, beyond this method that has transformed curly hair, we also find many tricks and tips for different problems. From those who need to lift their curls from the roots with a simple accessory, to those looking for maximum volume.
Specifically today, with the help of Rocío Barrio (@rizadotas), one of our favorite curly experts, we are going to discover some mistakes that may be ruining the full potential of your curls without realizing it. Because sometimes, it is not a matter of carrying out complicated strategies, but rather making small changes.
One of the first mistakes, which the influencer points out, is the one made when applying the conditioner. “Before applying the mask or conditioner, remove excess water so that the product can adhere, otherwise you will lose it,” says Rocío. This simple gesture has an explanation, since when you apply a conditioning product, what you are looking for is for it to provide softness and keep the frizz of the curls under control. But if the hair is very wet, not enough product will remain in the hair to do its job.
To get very juicy and defined curls, “apply only living roombrush and distribute the product very well. Next, shape your hair and apply the gel just by scrunch“explains Barrio. Although yes, scrunching must be done well, and the expert points out that we must avoid kneading when we are doing the scrunch.
And if what you want is to avoid the famous birds' nest, Rocío explains how to work the curls with the gel. “Turn your head sideways to do the sides and down to do the front and back shape. That way when you dry your hair it will fall naturally.”
