Curly Hair Care: The Ultimate Guide to Healthy Curls

Why curly hair needs special care

Are your curls lacking definition, becoming dry or brittle despite your best efforts? It might be time to rethink your hair routine.

Curly hair is naturally drier, more porous, and more fragile. It loses moisture more quickly and requires specific care at every stage: from washing to defining to daily nourishment. An unsuitable routine can quickly lead to frizz, breakage, and loss of bounce.

Fortunately, all it takes is a few targeted steps and curly-friendly products to restore healthy, supple, and shiny hair. Discover the 5 essential steps for caring for your curly hair, along with expert treatments from JIA Paris's For My Curls range.

Washing is often the primary source of dryness for curly hair. An overly aggressive shampoo not only removes impurities, but also the thin protective layer naturally present on the scalp and lengths.

To maintain moisture, a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo is essential. For My Curls Nourishing Shampoo respects the scalp's balance while gently cleansing. Formulated with organic aloe vera, castor oil, and flax extract, it provides a gentle wash without compromising curls' manageability.

Ideally, you should wash your hair once a week, dividing it into sections for even cleansing. A light massage of the scalp with your fingers is enough to activate microcirculation without damaging the hair fiber.

After shampooing, hair is more receptive to care. This is the perfect time to offer targeted nutrition, capable of strengthening the hair fiber and improving curl definition.

Using a detangling conditioner makes this step easier. The one from the For My Curls range, enriched with plant-based inulin and organic Aloe Vera, makes hair softer and more supple from the first use. Flax extract, meanwhile, helps restore the natural structure of the curl.

In addition, a nourishing mask can be invaluable, especially in cases of marked dryness. The Intense Nutrition Mask from the same range, formulated with shea butter and vegetable oils, penetrates deeply to coat and revitalize the lengths. Applied strand by strand and left under gentle heat (with a thermal cap for example), it maximizes the effects of the treatment.

Detangling is always carried out on damp hair, starting from the ends towards the roots, with a suitable brush such as the Jia Paris Detangling Brush , designed to limit breakage of your curls.
