Curly hair care

The short answer: curls need hydration, less frequent washing and as little friction as possible. Frizz is mostly a thirst for moisture. A cut that respects the shape of the curl and a gentle routine change the result completely.

Why curls behave differently

The natural oil from the scalp travels down a twisted strand harder than a straight one, so curls tend to be drier at the ends. When the hair is thirsty, it draws moisture from the air and frizzes. That is why hydration is the base of every curly routine.

The routine that works

• Wash less often; frequent washing dries curls out.
• Use conditioner generously and a hydrating mask once a week.
• Comb only when the hair is wet and full of conditioner, with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
• Dry with a diffuser on low heat, or let it air dry, without rubbing with a towel.
• Sleep on a satin pillow, as we explain in hair overnight.

The right cut for curls

Curls are cut differently from straight hair, because every strand springs up when it dries. A layered cut that respects the shape of the curl gives volume where it is needed and takes off the weight that flattens it. Besire watches how your curl behaves and shapes the cut around it, not around a template for straight hair.

Curls and color

If your curls are colored or lightened, hydration matters even more, because bleaching adds to the thirst. For a cut or advice tailored to you, write to us and describe your curl.
