Coily hair is one of the most delicate hair types, requiring special care and attention to remain healthy and luscious. Whether you're dealing with 4A, 4B, or 4C hair, it's essential to have a hair care routine that is tailored to your hair's unique needs. In this blog post, we'll be discussing tips and tricks for taking care of coily hair.

Shampoo and Conditioner

Shampooing and conditioning your coily hair is essential to maintaining its health. Use a sulfate-free shampoo, which is less harsh than traditional shampoos and won't strip your hair of its natural oils. Our Bond Repair Shampoo is formulated to remove buildup without stripping curls from their natural moisture. Look for a conditioner that is specifically formulated for coily hair. These conditioners are usually thick and creamy and will help to hydrate and nourish your hair. The Bond Repair Conditioner works to repair damage and protect hair without adding excess weight to your coils!

Detangle Your Hair

Detangling your hair is another essential step in your coily hair care routine. Start by sectioning your hair and using a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle each section. Never pull or tug on your hair, as this can cause breakage and damage. If your hair is especially tangled, use your fingers to work out the knots before using a comb.

Deep Condition Regularly

Deep conditioning is a must for coily hair. It helps to keep your hair hydrated and healthy. Use a deep conditioner at least once a week, or as often as needed, depending on the condition of your hair. Apply the deep conditioner to your hair and cover it with a plastic cap for at least 30 minutes. You can also use a hair steamer to intensify the treatment. We recommend our Overnight Bond Building Mask, designed to provide deep moisture to low-porosity hair types, allowing for intense shine and softness!

Moisturize Your Hair

Coily hair is prone to dryness, which can lead to breakage and damage. To prevent this, it's important to keep your hair moisturized. Use a leave-in conditioner or a hair moisturizer every day to help keep your hair hydrated. Look for products that contain natural oils, like coconut oil, shea butter, or jojoba oil, which are excellent for moisturizing coily hair. Our Leave-In Conditioner is designed to detangle, hydrate, nourish, and strengthen all while leaving your curls feeling weightless and full!

Protect Your Hair at Night

Protecting your hair at night is essential to prevent breakage and damage. Use a silk or satin pillowcase or wrap your hair in a satin bonnet or scarf before going to bed. This will help to prevent your hair from rubbing against rough cotton pillowcases, which can cause breakage and damage.

Avoid Heat

Coily hair is sensitive to heat, so it's important to avoid heat styling as much as possible. Heat can cause breakage and damage, which can be difficult to repair. If you must use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant product first. Use the lowest heat setting possible and limit your use of heat styling tools to once a week.

Trim Your Hair Regularly

Trimming your hair regularly is essential to maintaining healthy coily hair. Trimming helps to remove split ends and prevent breakage. Aim to trim your hair every 6 to 8 weeks or as needed. Be sure to use sharp hair cutting shears and only cut off a small amount of hair each time.

Be Gentle with Your Hair

Coily hair is delicate and needs to be handled gently. Avoid pulling or tugging on your hair, as this can cause breakage and damage. Be sure to use gentle products that are specifically formulated for coily hair. Avoid using harsh chemicals or hair dyes, which can also cause damage.

Eat a Healthy Diet

A healthy diet is essential for maintaining healthy coily hair. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are packed with essential vitamins and minerals that your hair needs to grow and thrive. Drink plenty of water to keep your body and your hair feeling hydrated!
