From Aveda Salon Products To Styling: How To Control Your Curls

Are your curls flat and frizzy? Curls aren't always easy to care for. But that doesn't mean you can't have cute coils, sparkling spirals, or waves for days. From using salon products (such as Aveda) to your washing schedule, take a look at the top tips that can help you to care for your curls. 

Which Products Should You Use?

There isn't one universal curly hair product that everyone can use with complete success. The specific shampoo, conditioner, treatment, and styling products you use depend on your curl type, hair texture, hairstyle, and overall needs. While thick, frizzy curls may need the extra moisture of an intense treatment or weekly mask, thin, oily hair won't need this level of constant dehydration. 

If you're not sure which types of products you need, how much to use, or how often to use them, talk to a professional. Your stylist can recommend a salon-quality line, such as Aveda hair products. Instead of mixing and matching brands, choose one line that meets all of your hair needs. Ask your stylist about shampoo or co-wash (depending on your moisture needs), a conditioner, a style enhancer, damage repair serums, volumizing tonics, texture tonics, and stylers such as gels, creams, and mousse. 

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), you don't have to wash your curly hair daily. Some people with curly hair may not even need to wash their hair every week. But the AAD does note that you shouldn't go more than two to three weeks without a wash. While waiting to wash your curls could reduce frizz, it may also cause scalp issues. This makes it important to find a schedule that won't dry your hair—but also leaves your strands and scalp clean.

How Should You Style Your Curls?

Again, you won't find one universal answer to this question. Factors such as curl type and the cut you choose will impact the way you style your hair. You may need to try a few different products or product combinations before you find one that meets your needs. 

Should You Blow Dry or Air Dry Your Home?

Heat styling can damage your hair and make it frizzy, brittle, or dry. But this doesn't mean you can't break out the blow dryer once in a while. While air drying is preferable for many people with curls, it isn't always a convenient option—especially when you have a busy schedule or the weather is chilly. If you do need to blow dry your hair, ask your stylist for suggestions. They may recommend a diffuser or a specific type of heat styler.
