5 Hairstylist-Debunked Curly Hair Myths

Curly hair is unmanageable

Curly hair is thought to be hard to maintain. Curly hair isn't unmanageable, but it does have its own issues. Curly hair can be managed with proper hydration and style products.

Long curly hair is impossible

You've probably heard of the "correct" hair length from lifestyle magazines and discussion shows. We all know hair length is personal preference, but are there any benefits to short curls?

A misunderstanding. Genetics and care determine hair growth and length, not texture. Curly hair shrinks, but good care promotes growth. Depending on your hair type, longer curls may look better.

Curly hair always dries

Dryness affects most hair types. Dry hair can cause itchy scalps, lackluster hair, and breakage. The idea that curly hair is dry persists. Curly hair isn't always dry, but natural oils have a tougher time reaching each curl.

Curly hair needs regular brushing

Should you brush curly hair? This fallacy damages curly hair. To avoid frizz and damage, gently detangle curls when damp with a wide-tooth comb or fingers.

Leave-in conditioners or hydrating mousse improve slip while safely detangling hair. It keeps curls frizz-free and guides fingers and combs.

All curls are the same

You've definitely seen various curly hair products in your neighborhood beauty store. All curls must be the same, right? No way.

Each curly hair type requires specific care and products. To keep your curls healthy and beautiful, know your curl type.
