If you have curly hair, then you know the struggle to find a solution catered to your specific concern: tangled hair, split ends, breakage, dryness and frizz. The good news is that there are wonderful, natural oils and remedies to add shine, nourish hair and scalp, retain hair length, and generally have your curls cooperate with you!
The first step is to ensure that your hair is hydrated and moisturised. Shea butter, often hailed as a ‘holy grail’ for moisture seekers, has been used for centuries to hydrate skin and hair. It is suitable for all hair types, but if you have thick, curly, or coarse hair, it is safe to say it is curly girl-approved!
Shea butter is a root-to-tip solution:
- Revitalises damaged and dull hair and prevents split ends while increasing shine and lessening frizz
- Protects hair from mechanical and environmental damage by sealing in moisture.
- Softens and smoothes the hair reducing tangling
- Prevents itchy scalp and reduces inflammation—without clogging pores
Some things to consider:
