Getting curls in Afro hair needs water, good products, and smart styling. Here’s how to get nice curls:​

1. Keep Hair Moist

Afro hair is often dry. Start with a shampoo that has no sulfates to clean but keep oils.​

2. Use A Leave-In Conditioner

Put leave-in while hair is still wet. This helps keep water in and makes curls smooth.​

3. Use Curl Products

Add mousse, gel, or curl cream. Split afro curly hair into parts and put the product on each part to coat curls.​

4. Style Curls

There are several ways to shape curls:​
  • Finger Coils: Twirl small hair sections around fingers to make curls.​
  • Shingling: Spread product through each strand to define curls.​
  • Twist or Braid: Twist or braid wet hair, let dry, then loosen for better curls.​

5. Dry Hair Right

Air dry hair or use a diffuser on low heat to stop frizz and keep curls defined.​

6. Add Oil

Use light oils like argan or jojoba to seal moisture and cut down frizz.​

7. Care For Curls

Sleep with a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase to keep curls and stop dryness. Spritz curls with water and leave in to refresh.
