Shampooing for CURLY HAIR

Maintaining curly hair is an art. The best way to use shampoo is SPARINGLY. One of the biggest hair trends in Hollywood right now is going a couple days without washing your hair so as not to strip your hair of all its natural oils. THIS SHOULD ALWAYS APPLY TO YOU IF YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR. It gets dry very easily making it more susceptible to being frizzy, coarse, and tangled. I shampoo my hair every 4 days and condition in between. When I do shampoo I wash my hair twice. If you haven't tried this already, try it and see how much shinier, softer, tighter, and more manageable your curls will be.




Here are products that I would recommend for use on CURLY HAIR. (WOOOOOO GO CURLY HAIR!)

~Comment: Cheaper route, but my mom claims that Herbal Essences has too many chemicals that damage your hair in the long run. If you can, choose another shampoo. It does work though.

*Mixed Chicks is a product line made specially for the kind of hair that belongs to those of us who are multi-racial. We typically have curly, wavy, or kinky hair that is just simply not understand by most hair products. I highly recommend anything by this brand because it works. I could live off of these products alone...if it weren't for the fact that I get bored and like to experiment. Halle Berry, Ciara, and Tracee Ellis Ross are celebrities who use this product. visit the website for more information. This product is available at my mom's hair salon if you want to know how to get it.
