Curl Bites Afro Curls Routine
Lockentyp 4: Afrolocken
Afro curls, also known as "coily" or "kinky" hair, belong to curl type 4 (4a-4c). They are characterized by very tight, voluminous curls that are small and tightly curled. It's important to tailor the routine to the specific needs of Afro curls to gently detangle the hair, ideally support the definition of each coil, and also combat dryness.
Here’s how to care for and style your coils effectively:
Step 1: Gentle, Thorough Cleansing
Afro curls tend to be very dry, so sulfate-free cleansing is crucial. Avoid harsh shampoos, as they can dry out your hair and increase frizz. Ideally, wash your hair only once a week to maintain its natural moisture. Use our sulfate-free* Rosemary Deep Cleansing Shampoo, which cleanses thoroughly and effectively removes buildup without drying out your hair.* Free from SLES.
Shampoo Recommendation:
Rosemary Deep Cleansing Shampoo
Step 2: Apply a Nourishing Deep Conditioner
Afro curls often struggle with significant tangling and dryness. Therefore, in Step 2, choose our Deep Conditioner, which effortlessly detangles, is packed with protein, and effectively moisturizes the hair. Our Deep Conditioner is formulated to be perfect for daily use.
Conditioner Recommendation:
Multi Protein Conditioner
Tip: Detangle your curls only when wet, with conditioner in your hair.
Step 3: Apply Leave-In Conditioner for Definition.
Next, choose a moisturizing leave-in conditioner that promotes smoothness and easily detangles and defines the hair. Our Weightless Leave-In Conditioner is perfect for this. The Raking or Shingling methods are ideal for thoroughly distributing the leave-in, ensuring optimal definition for your Afro curls.
Leave-In Recommendation: Weightless Leave-In Conditioner
Tip: Use raking or shingling styling methods for extra definition
Step 4: Apply Defining Gel
Use a moisturizing, defining curl gel that provides strong hold for styling. This will help you perfectly define your coils. Our Mega Definition Strong Hold Gel is the ideal solution for maximum curl definition and long-lasting hold, while amino acids and panthenol intensely nourish the hair.
