Caring for Fine Curls & Waves

Fine-haired curlies and wavies are often forgotten or misled about how to care for their hair, especially when it comes to expectations to follow traditional methods. 

Some products are too heavy or unnecessary for fine hair, but once you understand what it needs (and doesn't), your hair will flourish!  

 Here’s How to Get Started:

  1. Wash Often: How far you can stretch a wash day is often a topic of conversation in the curly world. However, there is no prize for who can go the longest, and there is no shame in washing when you need to! Finer hair struggles to stay looking its best for longer periods of time. Don’t fuss if you have to wash more often than your friends with a tighter curl pattern or thicker hair. Washing 2-3 times a week is a great benchmark if you have finer hair. 
  2. Fewer Bubbles & Keep It Lightweight: A low-lathering shampoo like Gentle Lather Shampoo and a lightweight conditioner like Aloeba Daily Conditioner are going to be your best friends! This type of shampoo is perfect for cleansing but without stripping the hair, and a lightweight conditioner won't over-moisturize and weigh the hair down. This way you will be left with boingy & beautiful, instead of limp and lifeless, curls.
  3. Clarify & Deep Condition Regularly: Starting with a clean slate and a solid moisture base is essential when applying styling products. To ensure you get the most out of your styling routine, you work so hard on, reset with a curl friendly Clarifying Shampoo and follow with either Too Shea! Extra Moisturizing Conditioner 1-2 times a month. Click here for more information about using Clarifying Shampoo. 
  4. Strengthen & Enhance: To prevent waves and finer curls from becoming limp and lifeless or losing their definition, you must provide structure. Feeding the hair shaft with ingredients that strengthen will help define your natural pattern and keep it there for longer. For a boost of protein & medium level moisture try a deep treatment with Too Shea! Extra Moisturizing Conditioner. For more curl enhancement (boingy spirals) try Gelebration Spray, our sprayable flaxseed-based gel.

Say goodbye to weighed-down washdays and hello to happier, healthier hair!
