Curly Cuts "We are seeing a lot of rounder and voluminous curly haircuts. It's giving lioness! The best way to maintain these cuts is to shampoo and condition as normal, focusing on the drier ends of the hair. Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes before rinsing with cold water. This is to close the cuticle and for shine. Pat dry with a microfiber towel or a t-shirt to prevent frizz. Use a leave-in detangler, then style hair with curl-enhancing products such as a moisturizing oil and a curl-defining cream." —April explains, and goes on to translate your hair's language: "Listen to your hair; if it is dry and brittle, it needs moisture. If your hair is unnaturally soft and has a gummy-like feeling, it needs protein. It's hard to pinpoint products because all curls have their own journey. Generally speaking, you need a leave-in product, a mousse + gel, or a mousse + cream, depending on hair texture. Once your curls are 100% dry, you can style as necessary. I like to use the dryer to stretch the roots only and finish with a texturizing spray and a light mist of volume-preserving hairspray."
