Ensure that you protect your hair during the straightening process. <\/b><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to protecting your curls and coils, begin with the end in mind. That said, if you want your curls to spring back to life post-blowout, it\u2019s critical to protect your hair before and during the straightening process. \u201cWhen straightening hair, it\u2019s important to use some form of heat protection<\/a> as well as being mindful of the temperature of your styling tools<\/a>,\u201d says Faith Huffnagle, Director of Education at Prose. She recommends setting your flat iron\u2019s temperature no higher than 365 degrees. \u201cAnything hotter than 450 will burn the hair indefinitely no matter what your texture is. Choosing tools that come with a temperature dial is the best way to control the amount of heat that comes in contact with your hair because, truthfully, anything above 400\u00b0 isn\u2019t a good idea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prioritize protecting your strands while they\u2019re blown out. <\/b><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you care for your hair right after straightening it matters as well. \u201cOnce the hair has been straightened, it\u2019s important not to apply heat every day after that continuously,\u201d explains Huffnagle. \u201cInvesting in a silk bonnet or pillowcase<\/a> as well as a night routine to pin hair up will keep the style looking fresh until wash day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incorporate a deep conditioner into your wash day.<\/b><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the best ways to care for your curly tresses after straightening them is to do a deep conditioning mask. \u201cDeep conditioning treatments after heat styling is a great way to encourage fiber repair and strengthening, which will result in curl uniformity,\u201d says Huffnagle. \u201cAlthough water is the ultimate moisturizer for all textures, using quality products customized for your strands can target the specific needs of your hair type.\u201d All of the pre-shampoo hair mask <\/a>formulas contain hydrating ingredients like jojoba<\/a> and castor oil<\/a>, which deliver much-need moisture and nourishment to your hair from root to ends.<\/p>

Give your scalp a little extra TLC.<\/b><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthy hair starts with your scalp, so it\u2019s beneficial to add a treatment like the pre-shampoo scalp mask<\/a> into your routine after you\u2019ve straightened your curls. \u201cReplenishing the hair and scalp after a blowout and before shampooing is a great way to detox, reduce buildup, and target the hair fibers with custom active ingredients that are tailor-made to your specific needs,\u201d says Huffnagle. You\u2019ll find nourishing and stimulating ingredients such as pro-vitamin B5<\/a> and peppermint extract<\/a> in many of the custom scalp mask formulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reach for the right styling products after cleansing your hair. <\/b><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you\u2019ve washed your hair and your curls have returned, it\u2019s time to turn your attention to styling products. It\u2019s important to coat your curls with products that will deeply penetrate your strands and deliver maximum hydration and nourishment. \u201cProducts such as leave-in conditioners<\/a> and silicone-free cold-pressed hair oils<\/a> are great to use after hair has been straightened,\u201d explains Huffnagle. \u201cThe leave-in conditioner will add moisture balance back into the strands\u2013which can have a positive effect on elasticity\u2013and the hair oils are extremely nutritive and nourishing, which support the overall health of the hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid using products with moisture-stripping ingredients. <\/b><\/h2><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certain ingredients have proven to be incredibly harsh when applied to textured hair. \u201cCurly hair should avoid products containing drying alcohols and shampoos with harsh sulfates<\/a>,\u201d says Huffnagle. \u201cInstead, use sulfate-free shampoos to cleanse. Deep conditioners and alcohol-free gels are recommended to use after.\u201d In all of Prose\u2019s products, you\u2019ll never find sulfates, parabens, GMOs, phthalates, or alcohols on the ingredient list\u2013making them perfect for curly hair.<\/p>
