Did you ever praise a curly hair girl or boy? if yes, I agree too as it looks so beautiful. But with beauty, there are many problems associated with curly hair. Like, after you wake up, you are bound to wake up with a bed head and it may take hours to get rid of the frizziness. Even a cap won’t come to your rescue in these conditions.

And sometimes it is difficult to put down hairpins as it becomes difficult for hairpins to settle down. To avoid these problems people opt for hair straightening and to maintain this straightness they apply specific hair creams, hair shampoos, etc.

And technically speaking curly hair is dry compared to other types as because of its spiral nature it becomes difficult for natural oils to flow down through hair strands to lengths.

Although maintaining curly hair is a tedious task but it’s definitely worth it.

For curly hair, hair masks are worth a try. But it may be difficult to get hair masks that takes all-round care of curly hair like for de-frizzing, detangling, moisturizing, etc. But there are many homemade hair masks that you can prepare at home and apply. You require ingredients that you can get from your kitchen itself.
