Curl Type 3: Curly Hair
Curly hair falls under Curl Type 3 (3a-3c) and is characterized by its distinctive curls and spirals, which provide natural bounce and volume. While curly hair is beautiful, it also requires specific care. Without the right routine, it can become frizzy, dry, and lack definition. In this guide, you'll learn how to wash, care for, and style your curls optimally.
Here’s how to care for and style your curls perfectly:
Step 1: Gentle, Thorough Cleansing
The right hair washing technique is the first step toward healthy, defined curls. Curly hair tends to be dry because the natural oils from the scalp don't travel down the strands as easily as they do with straight hair. Therefore, you should opt for gentle shampoos that still provide effective cleansing. Our gentle, sulfate-free* Refreshing Weightless Shampoo is perfect for this and even protects the hair cuticle. *free from SLES

Step 2: Apply a Nourishing Deep Conditioner
Curly hair and tangles go hand in hand. That’s why a good detangling, nourishing deep conditioner is key to success. Our Multi Protein Deep Conditioner is perfectly formulated for daily use.

Tip: Detangle your curls only when wet and with conditioner in your hair.
Step 3: Apply Leave-In Conditioner for Definition.
For curly hair, styling is crucial for bounce and long-lasting hold. The leave-in conditioner is the first step in your styling routine and serves as the foundation for your curl styling. Our Weightless Leave-In Conditioner not only helps to detangle and nourish the hair but also defines each strand—without weighing it down.

Step 4: Apply a medium-hold gel.
Curly hair benefits most from a flexible hold. Our Volume & Hold Scrunching Gel provides the perfect balance of volume, bounce, and flexible hold for stunning curls. With its lightweight yet powerful formula, it defines your curls and adds fullness without weighing them down.
