Are you someone with curly or wavy hair? While they may look cool naturally, only the person who has them knows the challenges they present. There is always a tendency for your hair to become frizzy, and you never seem to find a perfect shape. Not to forget, it is not easy to style wavy or curly hair. 

You need experts to guide you and share useful tips to manage and style your hair. MEN ZONE, today, has become a reliable neighbourhood barbershop for Canadian residents for men’s grooming needs. With the right products, tools and expertise, we educate you on how to keep them in place. 

Tired of brushing off limp waves? Cannot find a product to sort out the spiralled coils? Do not worry! Understanding your hair type better and planning care accordingly, rather than fighting it, can make a huge difference. Are you ready to be the proud owner of your curls? Let us create the right plan for you.

1. Adopt Length-Wise Cuts

The first step should be to retain a break-free, frizz-free shape. Your barber shall first cut off the dry curls or allow them to hang freely. It helps achieve the original curl and length of your hair. This way, you can avoid having shorter hair once they are washed.

2. Understand the Type of Curl You Have

Loose waves? Ringlets? Tight coils? What type of curl do you have? Each requires different styling regimes and hair care products. Stop by and consult with your MEN ZONE barber. Find out the type of your curls and take useful product recommendations based on your curl density and porosity.

3. Keeping Your Hair Moist

Dryness is the most challenging issue for people with wavy or curly hair. Ask your barber for recommendations on shampoo and conditioner. Usually, a sulphate-free solution is recommended. You may also be asked to develop a weekly deep conditioning routine. This may involve applying an oil or shea butter hair mask to add more moisture.

4. Use an After Bath Conditioner or Cream

Applying a conditioner or cream that you can leave as is, right after a hair wash, helps you avoid frizzy hair. Take small amounts and spread them evenly to achieve smooth curls. Avoid overapplication as it may make your curls heavy and weigh them down.

5. Try the Finger Coiling or “Plop” Method

Learn how to coil your curls using a finger from your barber. It is an effective way to get more curls. If you are not comfortable with finger coiling, you may like plopping. For this, you will need a cotton T-shirt to wrap your hair. It improves your curls without squashing or straining them.

6. Minimize the Use of Hair Drying Tools

Styling your hair often leads to more aggressive frizz problems. Many use electric hair dryers for faster drying and styling. It can slowly damage your hair. We often recommend customers with wavy or curly hair to let their hair dry naturally. However, if you use a blow dryer, do not use the heating function at all or set it to low.

7. Refresh Hair Between Washes

To maintain the curls, misting in between washes is important. It can be simple water or a curl-refresh spray. You can also apply the leave-in cream on your strands. You will notice that your hair looks brighter without having to wash it.

8. Trim Regularly

If you want smooth curls that people envy, you must have a regular grooming routine. At MEN ZONE, we encourage our customers to visit us on a regular basis so that we can trim off the damaged ends and keep their hair healthy. A gap of 8 or 12 weeks is perfect; however, it may vary from person to person depending on the health and growth of their hair.

9. Hair Accessories for the Night

Your regular pillowcases may be the reason behind hair breakage and frizz. To protect your hair from damage, wrap your hair with a silk scarf or replace your regular pillowcase with a silk or satin pillowcase.

10. Share Your Likes & Dislikes with Your Barber

Different people like different styles. Some may love having loose curls. It may make them feel more relaxed. Some like their tight coils and want to maintain a definite texture. Barbers at MEN ZONE are all ears when it comes to finding the best solution for you.
