I don't know about you but my second day of curls are usually better than my first day. My natural hair oils have set in, my curls are fuller and bigger. But the key to great second day curls is FIRST day curls. That why it's very important that your
CHR is a good one. Products are best absorbed in your hair when it's SOAKING WET. Whether you use a
LIC, an anti-frizz serum or a curling creme, make sure your hair is wet upon application. You can use your fingers as a comb to evenly distribute the product through your hair. While it's drying, remember to leave your hair alone...DON'T TOUCH IT (as stated in my earlier post). That's the best way to eliminate frizz.
When you go to bed at night, make sure you sleep on a satin pillowcase. It reduces friction which can lead to hair breakage. It also keeps your curls soft and supple, since cotton pillowcases tend to dry the hair.
If you follow these simple steps, first day curls can lead to great second day curls...and maybe even a third. If you have any tips for great second day curliecues...feel free to post them.
Hey I love ur blog and ur curls!!!! I want my hair to get to ur length in due time. I am a natural newbie I BC on June 19th but I transition for a lil over 9 months but anyway at first I thought I had to wet my hair every morning to get my curls to pop!! But that was annoying and I noticed myself starting to get sick so now what i do is at night i part my hair into 4 sections, wrap each section in a ponytail holder, tie down with scarf. In the morning all I have to do is take down each section, spray it with my water/glycerin mix, put some Kinky Curly Custard in my hair and my curls turns out just as good as if i were to wet my hair.
