How to Deal With These 5 Curly Girl Problems
1. The Pineapple Hairstyle Doesn’t Work for You
Yes, the pineapple is an effective way to preserve your curly hairstyles. However, the pineapple method a girl with 3c hair would use is not the same one a girl with type 4 hair would find success with. A quick fix: Try multiple pineapples, which work better for thicker curl textures. To do this method, part hair into four sections and create loose pineapple ponytails on each section. Try it out and you won’t wake up with pancaked curls.
2. The Wash-and-Go Trial and Error
The wash and go is sometimes a no-no for many. Have you tried the exact routine and products your favorite blogger used and it was a huge fail? We’ve all been there, and that’s okay! Consider finding your own technique. It’s all about finding the styling routine and products that work for you. Need help? Check out this easy wash-and-go tutorial.
3. Hand-in-Hair Syndrome
Listen up, ladies, the hand-in-hair syndrome has got to stop. Playing with your hair can lead to split ends and cause unnecessary frizz. So try your best to keep your hands out of your hair unless you’re washing or styling it.
4. Rainy Days Are Better Known As Bad Hair Days
These are the days we have to cover our heads with a wrap or scarf until we’ve reached our destination. Some prefer not to do this, especially on a warm summer day. Yes, this hair type typically craves moisture, but once a raindrop or some form of humidity hits, it’s over for that perfect twist out. We suggest using an anti-frizz product like The Good Stuff Frizz Control Oil to repel as much water as possible so you can save your style. But please, walk with your umbrella!
5. How in The World Do We Avoid Hat Hair?
Raise your hands if you’ve given up on hats! Wearing hats on curly hair is the ultimate struggle. Lots of hats can cause frizz, so if you’re still rocking them, be sure to coat your hair with an oil, like Suave Professionals Moroccan Infusion Styling Oil, before placing a hat on your head.
