A lot of previous posts on our website have been the perfect guide to you caring for your hair weaves and wigs. This included investing in a deep conditioning treatment every once in a few days, preferably at a week’s gap. Furthermore, we discussed about how essential it is to make note of how gently you rub your hair while washing and how you should always be shampooing and conditioning your hair in a downward motion rather than going against the shaft direction. We all know how important it is, for not just weave hair but also your natural hair, to avoid hot water showering and we all know the damage that comes along with it.
But for this specific piece, we have a treat for all those of you women who either own or are about to invest in kinky curly or just simple curly weaves. We bring to you a post dedicated to curly hair care only, so keep on reading and you would come to know how slightly different it is as compared to straight weave care.

- Avoid Scrunching
This is probably the most important step towards a good hair care routine. This is because it is a regular practice for people who wear curly extensions, people who are naturally gifted with curls, and the ones who style their hair this way. We intend to ensure that our curls remain in place and don’t loosen up, therefore we scrunch and scrunch! Don’t do it. This causes friction between the hair shafts and damages the hair cuticles resulting in frequent breakage. - Low Heat
When blow drying your curly hair weaves, it is best to set your diffuser heat settings to ‘low’. This step is great for two simple reasons: It lessens the chances for damage overall reducing split ends and it aids your curls in taking form. A brilliant way to ensure long lasting styling for your perfect hair collection. - Detangle with Patience
The key step to caring for curly hair, whether in extensions or naturally, is persistence and serenity. Most of the women who are born with curly locks keep complaining about how difficult it is to detangle curly hair after showering and they would pull at all their might just to free the hair from tangles. The pulling damages the hair in ways you cannot even think of! It’s massive. It takes a lot of patience to detangle curly hair, but the task can be made a bit easier by the use of a wooden paddle brush or a looper brush. Another thing you can do is buy a detangling spray, serum or leave-in conditioner that can help you reduce friction that makes the process challenging.
