4 Steps for
Hydrated & Defined Curly Hair Care
We love our curly hair, we really do!
Yet, we are also aware that curly hair is often much more high maintenance than other hair types - But once you find the products that work for your hair, life is easier and achieving healthy, defined hydrated curls finally seems attainable. I will let you in on a little secret, this sulfate free 4-step regimen is exactly what your curls have been wishing for.
What a sulfate-free shampoo means
Sulfates are a group of synthetic ingredients that are often used in personal care products like shampoos, cleansers and washing products. They include names like sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate, which you can often find on the labels of the named product types.
Obviously, a sulfate-free shampoo is one without these types of ingredients.While sulfates can be a great addition to certain hair type routines, they are not good for everybody. Due to their synthetic nature, sulfate ingredients can strip your hair from natural oils and moisture and they can be harsher to the hair.
Why sulfate-free products might be better for your curly hair
Curly hair is often prone to frizz and dryness and, therefore, it’s best to avoid ingredients that might remove moisture from your hair. What happens when your hair is not able to hold its moisture in place, is that humidity and other elements can damage your hair strands, forming some kind of structural damage to your hair bonds, resulting in frizz. Since sulfate is a harsher ingredient than natural ones, it can affect the way your hair is able to hold its moisture. And so, if you are looking for bouncy, frizz-free curls, this is definitely something you want to avoid.
Additionally, in case you needed any more convincing, here’s 3 more ways your curly hair can benefit from sulfate-free products:
-
They keep your hair’s natural shine by holding your natural’s hair oil, unlike products with sulfates which might strip these oils from your hair instead.
-
They protect colored and weaker hair since their composition is entirely natural. Certain sulfate ingredients are rougher on hair and can fade hair coloring. Those who have chemically treated hair or naturally weak/sensitive hair can benefit from using sulfate-free shampoos to ensure their hair is not being exposed to any more tough ingredients.
-
They strengthen your hair by helping to seal the moisture and avoiding long-term exposure to chemical ingredients.
