Curly hair provides unique challenges for care. Depending on whether the person wants it straight, curled, frizzed or dreaded, there are multiple options and methods to get each of these results. For some women the desired outcome is as simple as controlling the moisture applied and the manner in which it is dried. For most others, it is not the manner in which water is applied, but what kind of conditioning products can curl or straighten. Some products are designed to separate strands, while others clump them. Heat and chemical treatments can cause damage, leaving it vulnerable to breakage, split ends and dryness. Products for curls are often effective for straight styles problems as well. Moisturizing products are particularly good with dry and damaged strands, whether straight or curly. Any good day spa or salon will be able to offer these products along with the other products like facials and moisturizing treatments.
In classifying the amount of curl present, there is a scale that goes from one to four with straight landing at one, wavy being number two, curly number three and kinky number four. There are products for frizz control, retexturing, coloring, relaxing and moisturizing. Young hair can be easier to control than gray, which is naturally more coarse. A popular thing to do for strands that are consistently difficult to manage is to cut them short. While some women and children do opt for shorter hair, controlling frizz and curls is a more viable solution than cutting it shorter.
Curly hair products have ranged from reflective shine serums and intense moisturizing treatments to daily conditioners and curl rejuvenators. Waxes are another treatment used to provide complete control when a fixed hold is desired, or dreadlocks are being developed. Dreadlocks are not dirty clumps, but matted curls designed to look a certain way. While some individuals think that dreadlocks are dirty, like all hair, they should be washed with the right type of cleanser just as for any other type. If the type is straight, or type one, the ability to make dreadlocks will be reduced because it will be much more difficult to curl and clump. Dreadlocks can be started by twisting hair and adding a small amount of dread wax to ensure clumping, this is a procedure that many salons are familiar with and can assist their customers. Dreadlocks have a long and rich history in India as well as Africa, most often among holy men or people fighting for a cause.
