An expert’s guide to revitalise curly hair

We all want frizz-free, bouncy curls that are full of life. But, this doesn’t always need a hair wash. Yes, you read that right! While you will need to shampoo eventually, overshampooing is something that can damage our tresses. Yuba Khan, hair expert, suggests quick ways to refresh curls without a hair wash.

Leave-in conditioners can keep old curls in place and help in styling as well. If your hair has fewer tangles and is just a little limp, use a spray bottle with a moderate* amount of water and sprinkle it evenly on your hair. You could add a pea size amount of your favourite leave-in conditioner, curl cream or gel. This mixture of water and conditioner can refresh dry and frizzy curls.

This does not leave the curls crunchy and needs just a few sprays to breathe life into your hair. Use a curl texturising spray, crunch and plop your hair to refresh the curls.

“Apply your favourite styler or spray water to flat curls, twirl each strand around a finger until it appears twisted. Then, scrunch your curls and let them air dry,” suggests Khan. If a softer hold is more your style, refresh using a styling cream.

This helps to keep your hair going for more than a day or two or between washes.

Diffuse with a basic water spray or product application. You can apply two to three drops of hydrating oil onto the lengths to ensure you don’t get frizzy, dry curls.
