That’s why you invest in a good leave in conditioner, some coconut oil (not a lot, like a teaspoon for your mids and ends), and a detangling brush.
That’s how I manage at least.
Edit: I also use silk pillowcases and I use a silk bonnet too (if I’m cleaning my silk pillow cases).
Use hair masks like once a week too. Keep it in overnight. Alternatively you could do a hot oil treatment for your scalp and hair (like 6-8 hours) but you would need to wear a plastic hair cap all day. Also you would need a lot of oil too. But both methods are perfect.
Expense?
Oh no not at all!
I should’ve added; by invest I meant time. It takes time to find a good leave in conditioner for your hair. So take time to look now, you want something that doesn’t have silicone free so it doesn’t ruin your hair. Masks are something you need to experiment with; look up lots of reviews and see what you can get in stores. These 2 products are probably going to be the most expensive things you buy (assuming you just get a silk case on Amazon like I did, and not buy the name brand ones).
The brush that I have is like 12$ and is a dream; and coconut oil is relatively cheap too. I’ll drop some of the products I use quick
I already have a silk pillowcase fwiw
You should be fine then lol, really the most important thing curly hair needs it moisture and you can get that from any oil.
Brush: Crave naturals detangling brush
Amazon: 11.99
Coconut hair oil: whatever I find in the store that’s cheap. I literally just go to the supermarket and grab a jar of coconut oil.
That shouldn’t be more than 6$
Leave in conditioner: shea moisturizer deep moisturizing leave in conditioner
Amazon: 12.97
Hair mask: I haven’t used one in a while. I just use a hot oil treatment since I already have the oil.
Price: same for the coconut oil.
