10 Curly Hair Tips That Will Change Your LifeThe be-all-end-all guide to getting your best curls -- period |
Curly Hair Tip No. 7: Keep the Bleach to a Minimum When coloring curly hair, as with every other step of your hair-care regimen, be gentle. "Most curly hair is naturally dry, and coloring hair can dry it out even more," says Harbinger. Go easy on the chemicals, and don't overlap bleach or use high-intensity color," she warns.
Highlighting curly hair can bring dimension to the individual curls, framing your face in an angelic way. It also breaks up your color so that your hair doesn't look like a solid block of coils. For curly hair, Harbinger recommends painted-on highlights, which keep the integrity of the hair intact and is completely customizable, so your stylist can accentuate your individual curl pattern. Using a semi-permanent at-home color that delivers multi-tonal results is an even easier way to add instant dimension to your hair, says Shorter.
After-care for colored, curly hair is just as important. Use a pH balanced and moisturizing cleansing conditioner to lock in moisture and rebalance the scalp.
Try: John Frieda Precision Foam Colour, $12.99, which is easy to use and has built-in highlights.
