    Nourish with Conditioner.
    Natural curly hair often experiences dryness as scalp oils struggle to reach the ends due to its unique kinks and curls. Maintain moisture with a curl-specific conditioner, such as Dove Advanced Hair Series Quench Absolute Conditioner. Its formula defines curls, leaving them feeling softer and smoother.

    Protect with a Serum.
    If frizz is a concern, a nourishing serum can be your best ally. Apply Dove Advanced Hair Series Quench Absolute Crème Serum to damp or dry hair. This helps tame frizz and fly-aways, promoting a shinier, more manageable style.

    Dry Gently.
    After washing your hair, avoid harsh towel-drying, which can lead to frizz. Instead, gently tilt your head forward and squeeze upwards to remove excess water without causing damage.

    Use a Diffuser.
    Gentle, minimal drying is crucial for curly hair care. When blow-drying, use a diffuser to reduce frizz by distributing heat evenly. Avoid over-drying; remove most of the water, then allow the rest to air dry naturally.

    Minimise Brushing.
    Contrary to common practice, avoid brushing curly hair when dry. Brushing is too aggressive, pulling out natural curls, causing frizz, and leading to a loss of definition. If you need to detangle, do so when hair is wet, using a wide-toothed comb. Start from the ends and work upwards to prevent breakage.
