Curly hair is prone to dryness, so choose a hydrating shampoo and conditioner.

“Mix almond oil into a treatment mask for an extra dose of moisture,” Wood says. Do this a couple of times a week for best results.

Dry oil provides added nourishment and tames flyaways. Combine with a lightweight cream in your hands before applying. You can use these no matter what your hair type [is], but if you have fine hair or a loose wave, use sparingly.

Finish with an added dose of moisture. “A simple shine mist will make fine hair glisten without weighing it down, while a heavier serum or oil is better for thicker or coarser hair,” Wood says.

Properly styled curly hair can make it to a day and beyond, Wood says. “Simply dampen hair with water, spritz with leave-in conditioner and then run your fingers through it to fake a just-washed feeling.”
