Curly hair, but how should I care for it?
- 5 min reading time
Do you have a natural head full of curls? Welcome to the curl club! You probably know better than anyone that caring for and styling your curls isn't always easy. Indola and Schwarzkopf offer the Perfecte products for your curly hair, which are also Perfect to use with the Curly Girl Method! The Curly Girl Method is a care routine for curly hair. The core of this method is knowing your curl type and which ingredients you should or shouldn’t use for your hair type. Want to know exactly what this method involves? Read more about it here The Curly Girl Method: From A to Z.
How do I start with the CG Method?
Before you start the CG Method, it's important to know your curl type. To be sure what your hair type is, you can check the following page: What is my curl type? Discover your curls' porosity & elasticity.
Knowing your curl type makes it easier to find the right products. The next step is to find out if your hair holds moisture well or not, called poroSisity. With low poroSisity, your hair takes more than eight hours to dry. With high poroSisity, your hair dries in less than two hours. On the pages I Have Low Porosity Curls and I Have High Porosity Curls you’ll find all the traits of low- and high-porosity curls to quickly identify your curl type and the best care for it.
How do I choose CG products?
Now that you know your curl type and whether you have low or high porous curls, we can look for the right products. It’s important to know if you need products with or without protein. If you have low porosity hair, it already contains enough protein but lacks moisture. For this, a highly hydrating product is crucial. If you have high porosity hair, you have enough moisture but too little protein.
Which CG care and styling products do I definitely need?
The main products you need are a (final wash) shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and styling products. It’s often unclear whether you should use shampoo for your curls or not. Let us explain: washing with a CG-friendly shampoo isn't wrong and ensures your hair is properly cleansed. You can choose to reduce shampoo use over time. When reducing shampoo, it’s important to use a sulphate-free shampoo. Want to learn more about shampoo for curly hair? Read on at The Curly Girl Method: From A to Z.

For this, we’ve put together special products and sets (found at the bottom of the blog) from Indola and Schwarzkopf.
