We’ve said it once, twice and we’ll keep on reiterating it: Styling curls and achieving ample definition truly begins once you step
into the shower – not when you get out. This is why being picky about the selecting the right shampoo and conditioner that work in tandem to leave you with a head full of healthy, bouncy strands is one of the most important things you can do for your hair routine, no matter your curl type.
For years, it has been well documented and understood that curly and straight hair are essentially polar opposites in terms of the shape of the hair follicle (the biggest determinant on whether hair strands grow round or straight from the scalp). It’s these structural differences that cause curls and coils to naturally be much drier, coarser and not as resistant aka a recipe for being more prone to breakage compared to straight strands. And the tighter the curl pattern, the more fragile the hair becomes.
