How to take care of curly hair men?

To care for curly hair as a man, consider these dermatologist-recommended tips:

  1. Wash your hair sparingly: Curly hair is prone to dryness, so wash it every 2 to 3 weeks or no more than weekly. Use a moisturizing shampoo and consider a clarifying shampoo beforehand if you often use gels, creams, or oils on your hair.
  2. Condition hair: Apply a thick conditioner after washing, and use oil or leave-in conditioner to keep hair moisturized. Choose products with argan oil, glycerin, fatty alcohols like cetyl or stearyl alcohol.
  3. Detangle with care: Wet your hair thoroughly and detangle using fingers or a wide-toothed comb or brush designed for curly hair. Work in sections and avoid brushing dry hair, which can cause breakage and frizz.
  4. Protect hair from sun: Heat and UV rays can damage curly hair, so cover up with a wide-brimmed hat and keep hair moisturized.
  5. Care for the scalp: If you experience dandruff, apply anti-dandruff shampoo only to the scalp and follow up with a moisturizing shampoo to avoid dry hair.
  6. Preserve curls while sleeping: Pull hair into a loose pineapple and use a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and maintain curl definition.

By following these guidelines, you can help keep your curly hair healthy, hydrated, and maintain its natural definition.
