Different hair types need specific care. In the following article, we'll cover tips for maintaining healthy curls without damaging your hair.
Let's start by talking about the different types of curls.
Do you know what type your curls are?
People with curly hair love experimenting with products and techniques to enhance and style their curls. On the other hand, some women prefer hair with more volume and look for ways to achieve this desired look. However, no matter what type of hair you have, the most important thing is to take good care of your locks.
Looking after your hair involves choosing the right products, regular moisturising, protection against damage and gentle handling. Understanding the specific needs of your hair is essential to keeping it beautiful and healthy, whether it's for curl definition, volume or general health.

Constant moisturising
Curly hair is naturally drier due to the spiral shape of the strands, which makes it difficult to distribute oil from the scalp.
For this reason, it's important to take care of it by regularly using treatment masks with active ingredients that promote deep moisturisation.
Only treat your hair when it's wet
Ideally, you should remove excess water and comb your hair when it is still damp with wide-toothed combs.

Cut regularly
As hair grows, curls lose their shape, giving way to what is known as the pyramidal effect. This phenomenon occurs when the root becomes "flat" and sticks to the scalp and the curls are concentrated at the ends.
To prevent this from happening and restore lightness to your hair, the biggest secret is to cut the ends regularly

Waves Hair
The hair curl classification follows straight hair and is characterised by more open waves than curls and frizz.
Types of curls:
The hair curl classification follows straight hair and is characterised by more open waves than curls and frizz.
Waves 2A
This type of wave has straight roots, fine strands and open waves.
One of the advantages of this type of hair is that it is easier to straighten than it
is to curl.
Waves 2B
Unlike 2A, this type of hair has more closed waves, while remaining straight at the roots. For this reason, a valuable tip is to use a diffuser and a finisher to stimulate the formation of curls.
Waves 2C
This type of hair has a lot of volume, but with more open curls. For this type of hair, use styling creams and finishers to define the waves, reduce frizz and keep the strands aligned.
Curly hair
Curly hair has tighter curls, making it difficult to distribute natural oils, leading to frizz, dryness and fragility.
Type 3A
This type of hair has looser curls, with wide curves. Tip: The ideal is to use a styling cream to finish.
Type 3B
They have waves at the roots and tight curls along the entire length of the hair. This type of curl tends to have more frizz. Tip: It's important to add anti-frizz products to your shopping list.
Type 3C
This type of curl is more closed from the length and the hair tends to be thicker. Tip: All kinds of products for curly hair.

HOW TO APPLY (STEP BY STEP)
Step 1
Wash your hair with shampoo suitable for dry hair or oily roots until it is thoroughly clean. Two washes are usually enough.
Step 2) Remove excess water with a towel and dry thoroughly (80%).
Step 2
Divide into 4 parts and apply the active according to hair type TROPICAL COCONUT HAIR ALIGNING (STEP 2) evenly over the entire length of the hair or as far as you see fit, preserving the ends if necessary. Leave a distance of at least 1cm from the roots to avoid any type of reaction that may occur.
Step 3
Take a break for 30 minutes.
Step 4
After the break, rinse all hair with running water only.
Towel dry your hair and apply the Tropical Coconut moisturising mask to leave it soft. Leave on for 5 to 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
Step 5
Rinse well again, divide into 4 parts and brush thoroughly. Use a brush with mixed bristles to align the roots and a thermal brush to shape and shine
the ends.
Step 6
Finish with LEAVE IN MODELLING INCELLER.
Step 7
Maintain the treatment with the
TROPICAL COCONUT SHAMPOO + CONDITIONER KIT.
FINAL CONSIDERATIONS
In this technique we don't use a flat iron, as the aim is not to straighten but to work the cuticles for better curl definition. Finishing with the oil and leave-in provides a defined curl effect.
