Fall Tips for Curly Textured Natural Hair

CURLY CREW,

As the fall season approaches, your hair needs extra care to stay healthy and defined. The cooler weather and drier air can sometimes leave curly textured hair feeling parched, frizzy, and less manageable. But don't worry—here are some easy tips to keep your curls looking their best during the fall season!

1. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

One of the most important things to remember during the fall is hydration. Your curls thrive on moisture, and with the drop in humidity, it’s easy for your hair to dry out. Choose a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner designed for curly textured hair. Look for plant-based or sulfate-free formulas that clean your scalp without stripping your natural oils like our Curl Daddy Clean Me Up Shampoo and Lay Me Down Conditioner.

2. Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Your haircare basics are crucial! Can we say that again?

Start with a gentle, hydrating shampoo to cleanse your scalp while preserving your hair's natural oils. Following up with a rich, vegan conditioner is key to locking in moisture and giving your curly textured hair that extra bounce. This ensures your hair stays soft and manageable even as the temperature drops.

3. Deep Condition Regularly

Fall is a great time to introduce weekly deep conditioning treatments into your routine. These treatments help combat dryness by restoring moisture and elasticity, making your curls more defined and frizz-free. Apply a deep conditioner or hair mask and let it sit for 15–30 minutes for best results. Just in case you did not know, you can use our Lay Me Down Conditioner as a mask. Wear a plastic cap for max results.

4. Protect Your Hair from the Cold

Wind and cold air does not help your curly hair, causing breakage and frizz. To protect your curls, wear hats lined with satin or silk or use scarves to shield your hair from harsh elements. Avoid wool or cotton-lined hats, as they can strip moisture from your hair and cause friction. We recommend using our curl daddy beanie cap as an option for your journey.

5. Seal in Moisture with Oils

After applying your conditioner or styling cream, seal in the moisture with a lightweight oil like argan or jojoba oil. This will help maintain the hydration you’ve worked so hard to achieve, while giving your curls extra shine and reducing frizz. We love our scalp oil since a little goes a long way.

Caring for your curly hair this fall starts with the basics: using the right shampoo and conditioner that complement your hair’s unique texture. Be sure to give your curls the hydration they need, protect them from the weather, and use natural products to keep your scalp and strands healthy. Remember, beautiful curls start with a healthy foundation!
