Your ultimate guide to healthy, hydrated, bouncy curls.

Anyone with curly hair knows that having a good curly hair day is so much harder than it looks. Curls can be unpredictable, unruly, and difficult to control. The secret to loving your curls relies within your hair care routine, including finding the right products to keep your waves and curls looking shiny and strong.

Curly hair requires more hydration, less washing, and patience! With these simple tips, tricks and products – you will always have a good curly hair day with the least amount of effort!

Bottoms up!

That’s right, always comb your hair from the bottom up. By detangling hair from the bottom up, it allows you to gently detangle each knot, rather than pulling knots toward the bottom and yanking your way through. ALWAYS use a wide-tooth comb, never a brush to rake through your curls. This will protect your hair from damage.

Stay on top of your trims! If you want healthy curls that look fresh, stop by and visit us every six to eight weeks for a quick trim. 

Smoothing serums, mousse and coconut oil will provide for a defined look without leaving your hair dry. Unsure of which products you should use? Stop by Oasis and we will get you on the right path to the perfect product combination that meets your needs and keeps your curls under control without the crunch!

Less is more when your hair is dry, don’t weigh it down with a ton of product. Simply add a dime-size amount of styling cream or oil to your ends to give them some extra moisture and bounce. Try incorporating leave in conditioner if you find that your hair is looking dried-out or frizzy. Look for a lightweight conditioning spray for thinner hair focusing on the ends. For more definition, use a smooth cream-based leave-in conditioner on wet hair. Start off by rubbing your styler between your hands. Then, take a section of hair and clap hands together like the praying hands emoji at the root of the hair, pulling them all the way down to the ends and evenly coating your hair in the product. 

To protect your curl pattern and maintain natural volume, gather your hair loosely at the highest point of your head before you go to sleep, this will also prevent excessive bedhead. When you wake up, take it out of the pony, and simply shake it out.

Make the switch to a silk pillowcase, these smooth pillowcases have proven to reduce bedhead by reducing friction on your hair,  and are key to keeping your hair hydrated and sleek day after day. Scrunchies are baaackkk! Keep your hair looking impeccable between wash days, by using a scrunchie to prevent hair breakage and ponytail creasing. 

By dispersing your hair dryer’s stream of hot air into a larger space, a hair diffuser can minimize a lot of the frizz that comes when curly hair is naturally air dried. A diffuser can help even out your curl pattern and boost the volume of heavy curls, giving more body to your hair. 

Need a refresh? When your hair becomes unruly, a great way to perk it up is to curl it. Choose a curling iron about the same diameter of your curls. It will allow you to reshape curls exactly where needed.
