Caring for Curly Hair: Tips from Edinburgh’s Organic, Vegan, and Cruelty-Free Salon
Embracing your natural curls is a beautiful journey, one that our team in Edinburgh's most organic, vegan, and cruelty-free salon LOVE to support. At our salon, we use only the best Oway products to ensure your curls are healthy, bouncy, and full of life. Today, we want to share some expert tips on caring for your curly hair, featuring our favourite Oway products: the Moisturising Hair Bath and Mask.
Understanding Your Curls
Curly hair is unique and tends to be more dry than straight hair due to its structure. The natural oils from your scalp have a harder time traveling down the hair shaft, leading to increased dryness and potential frizz. The key to caring for curly hair is hydration, hydration, hydration!
Step 1: Gentle Cleansing with Oway Moisturising Hair Bath
The first step in any hair care routine is cleansing. For curly hair, you want a gentle cleanser that won’t strip your hair of its natural oils. Oway's Moisturising Hair Bath is perfect for the job. This organic, vegan, and cruelty-free shampoo is infused with biodynamic Hazel, organic Honey, and ethical Murumuru butter to deeply hydrate and nourish your curls.
How to use
1. Wet your hair thoroughly.
2. Apply a small amount of Oway Moisturising Hair Bath to your scalp and gently massage.
3. Work the lather down the lengths of your hair.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Step 2: Deep Conditioning with Oway Moisturising Hair Mask
Deep conditioning is essential for maintaining the health of curly hair. After cleansing, treat your curls to a luxurious deep condition with the Oway Moisturizing Hair Mask. This mask is packed with the goodness of dynamic Hazel, organic Honey, and ethical Murumuru butter, similar to the Hair Bath, but in a more concentrated form to provide intense hydration and nourishment.
How to use:
1. After shampooing, apply the Moisturising Hair Mask to clean, damp hair.
2. Distribute evenly from mid-lengths to ends.
3. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes for deep conditioning.
4. Rinse thoroughly with cool water to lock in moisture.
Step 3: Regular Trims and Protective Styles
Regular trims are essential to keep your curls looking their best. Trimming helps prevent split ends and breakage, promoting healthier hair. Additionally, consider protective styles like braids or buns, particularly at night, to minimize friction and retain moisture.
Step 4: Avoid Heat Styling
Curly hair is particularly susceptible to damage from heat styling. Curly hair LOVES to be dried naturally! Embrace your natural texture and avoid excessive use of hairdryers, flat irons, and curling wands. If you need to dry your hair quickly, use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer on a low heat setting.
