Hydration is a must for all hair types to maintain the overall hair health and make them look shinier. Experts believe that you cannot forego the benefits of deep conditioning for your curly hair. Curly hair requires maximum conditioning as the natural oil produced by the scalp is not able to reach the tips because of the angular growth of the curls, thus making your curls look dull, dehydrated and frizzy. Winter is the time when your curls are in dire need of moisturization.
Generally, the store-bought conditioners are full of harmful chemicals which tend to damage your strands. So the safest alternative is to opt for homemade conditioners made up of natural ingredients. These conditioners are sure to soften your curls, keep them hydrated, frizz-free, shiny and bouncy. Here are some wonderful DIY conditioning recipes to tame your dry, coarse and textured hair.
