Trust us on this one, it really works.

1. Shampoo A Few Times A Week

How to take care of curly hair in men? Keep your scalp clean.

Shampoo your hair using a mild product that removes oil and other buildup without drying it out.

Curly-haired men tend to suffer from an oily scalp with dry and brittle ends. The sebum (the fatty substance produced by the skin) from the scalp is unable to travel evenly along the hair strands because of its twisted structure. So, it accumulates on your scalp while the rest of your hair remains deprived of natural moisturization.

But the right shampoo can fix this problem.

Men with curly hair can benefit from the NuMe Acai Shampoo which contains Omega 3, 6, and 9 along with vitamins B, C, and E. It cleanses your scalp, improves the elasticity of your strands, and smoothens curly hair. You can use this shampoo as frequently as you need to keep your scalp squeaky clean and your hair hydrated.

But if you need a stronger shampoo with clarifying action, go for the NuMe Vegan Tourmaline Shampoo. Formulated with 11 amino acids, hydrolyzed quinoa, and tourmaline powder, this low-pH shampoo acts as a clarifying agent but does not strip your hair of moisture.

Some say that you shouldn’t shampoo your curly hair more than 2-3 times a week, but we say choose a frequency you think works the best for you. Just don’t over or under wash your hair.

2. Don’t Skip the Conditioner

Contrary to popular opinion, conditioning curly hair is necessary. As we mentioned, curls tend to get dry and frizzy at the ends. That’s the part of your hair where you apply conditioners.

So skipping the conditioner after a hair wash is not a good practice. Hydrate the ends of your hair shafts with a moisturizing product, like the NuMe Acai Conditioner. The omegas and vitamins in it will make your hair look soft and shiny. It even provides protection against environmental toxins.

You could also try the NuMe Vegan Tourmaline Conditioner if your hair is prone to frizziness. This one contains amino acids that rejuvenate curly hair and give it an ultra-smooth appearance. Use this product if you have unruly and unmanageable hair.

3. Try Co-Washing Your Hair

Also known as the “no poo” method, this process involves washing your hair with a conditioner instead of a shampoo. Sounds unusual and counterintuitive? We know, but it has its benefits.

Co-washing has become a popular hair care hack for those with curly and coily hair because it helps retain more moisture in highly porous hair. Such hair is easily prone to dryness, frizz, and breakage but all these things can be reduced if you use your conditioner to wash your hair. Conditioners are usually gentler on your hair than common shampoos.

That said, don’t forget to wash off the conditioner thoroughly from your hair. Co-washing is helpful only when you use your conditioner as shampoo — don’t let the product sit in your hair.

If you do opt for co-washing, don’t forget to shampoo your hair every once in a while. Not doing so may lead to product build-up which is bad for your hair and scalp health. Alternate between co-washing and traditional shampooing for best results.

4. Use Heat Protectants When Drying or Styling Your Hair

Makes sense to coat your hair with a protectant before going in with the dryer or styling tools, right? You’d be surprised to know how many of us are willing to skip such small but essential steps in our daily care routine.

But curly hair can get easily damaged by the heat of styling tools if you don’t use a protectant. So spraying it with a thermal protectant, like the NuMe Watch Me Werk, can form a protective barrier that prevents damage.

Enriched with nourishing ingredients like caviar extract, sunflower seed oil, and Vitamin A, this product also adds shine, eliminates frizz, and gives you a salon-like finish every time you style your hair.

5. Apply Hair Serums Infused with Vital Ingredients

Serums are great for the health of your hair. So if you want to replenish lost moisture and nutrients, or simply want to rejuvenate damaged hair, use a good serum. The NuMe Hairology Scalp Serum is a good choice for you because it contains rosemary, alfalfa, malilito, and hops — beneficial botanicals that have many advantages. Using this serum helps maintain scalp health, gives you voluminous hair, and restores vitality.

You could also go for serums infused with natural oils that help to moisturize and strengthen hair. If that’s the kind of product you’re looking for, then try the NuMe Argan Oil Serum which is enriched with Vitamin E. It conditions your hair without making it greasy. NuMe Sleeky in a Bottle is another option because it also contains argan oil as its primary ingredient.

6. Use Good Quality Styling Tools

Never subject your hair to poor-quality styling tools, especially if you use them regularly. Always go for tools that are made for your hair type. NuMe hair styling tools are specially designed to give you damage-free tresses. Our cutting-edge negative ion technology neutralizes positive ions in your hair to give you sleek, smooth, and shiny locks with every use.

Whether you want an easy-to-use straightening brush, a hair dryer, or flat irons, you can take your pick without worrying about heat damage.

7. Detangle Before Every Wash

We are aware that combing curly hair can feel like a chore but trust us, you need to detangle it before hitting the shower. Detangling helps shampoos and other products penetrate the thick bind of your hair. It also makes styling your hair after a wash a breeze.

Besides, who likes losing hair to stubborn tangles, right?

So spend a few extra minutes before every hair wash. Your hair will thank you for it.

A product that can be rather useful to men with curly hair is a detangling comb. Ease knots in your hair gently with the NuMe Detangling Comb that comes with an easy grip handle. This one prevents breakage due to friction and has soft edges that don’t hurt your scalp. It’s particularly great for men with tight coily hair.

You could also brush your hair with the NuMe Curl Comb. Made from premium quality material, this wide-toothed comb glides easily through curly hair and prevents breakage.
