\n\u201cStraight-haired clients should consider regular trims to help combat dry ends and damage from wear and tear from environmental damage and manipulation. By trimming dead ends, your hair can focus its energy on healing the rest of the hair strand. Products like amika\u2019s The Kure Bond Repair Shampoo<\/a> and Conditioner<\/a><\/strong> will replenish the weak bonds in your hair, while also hydrating with plant butters like shea and mango,\u201d notes Brown.<\/p>\nType 2: Wavy<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\u201c…try to go a few days between washes to minimize the number of times the cuticle of the hair strand is opened, which happens when washing. Opening the cuticle makes hair more susceptible to damage,\u201d shares Brown. You should also try to take a break from tying your hair into a ponytail or bun because \u201chair ties can cause extra breakage.\u201d<\/p>\nType 3: Curly<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\u201cAfter shampooing…indulge your hair in 10 minutes of deep conditioning. Be intentional about deep conditioning, weekly, to reduce breakage and prevent moisture depletion. Moisture is essential, as it empowers our curls and coils to be healthy, juicy, and joyful,\u201d advises Ebony Bomani, brand educator at PATTERN.<\/p>\nType 4: Coily<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n\u201cKey ingredients, such as aloe vera, coconut oil, and cacay oil, in the PATTERN Beauty Curl Gel<\/a><\/strong>, harmonize to nourish the hair and deliver lasting moisture. The Curl Gel’s smooth, creamy texture and moisturizing attributes make it a favorite for wash-and-gos, twist-outs, braid-outs, and sleek styles. Apply to clean, wet or damp hair for breathtaking definition, touchable hold, and rhythm,\u201d shares Bomani.<\/p>\n
