Hair Care Tips for Thick Curly Hair by Blogger Meg B

Last week, I featured Tiffany Khyla White, the blogger behind Endless Bliss, and her personal hair care tips for her long thick hair.

For today's post, Meg B from She Puts Her Makeup On shares with us her hair care tips for thick curly hair.


My favorite tips and tricks for my hair are ones I've learned through trial and error. I have always had very thick, curly hair that is hard to manage. If it's humid, it gets insanely frizzy. If I straighten it and it then rains out and I get rained on, forget it! I used to straighten it ALL the time because I never knew how to get it to stay curly without being frizzy and out of control. Once I finally learned to deal with it, it's made my life much easier!

Never brush curls
This is probably the most obvious. Use a thick comb in the shower once you've got your conditioner in your hair, but that's it! That's all I ever do as far as combing goes because, for me, the littlest bit of combing through dry curls makes them look horrible!

Always use a good shampoo and conditioner
Yes, they can be pricey, but I've learned that they make all the difference. I can't get the same results with Suave as I can with my favorites. For drugstore level, I prefer Beyond the Zone's Noodle Head line. For higher end, I LOVE Fekkai's Brilliant Glossing Shampoo and Conditioner. They smell so good and make your hair incredibly soft while still making your curls look nice.

Use a good styling product to keep frizz away
Nexxus makes a great styling cream called Frizz Defy. I also like to always use a little bit of some kind of hair oil on my tips. Currently, the one I am loving is the Arvazalia Argan Treatment.

Let your hair air dry
Curls look much better this way!

Shampoos for Colored Hair

The biggest hair trend this summer is undeniably brightly colored hair.

It might just be a slight color change, it might be something more adventurous like bright ends, or it might even be a more drastic change like an all-over pastel shade. Regardless, this trend has taken over the season.

Before I started teaching full-time, I had bright colors in my hair. It started with electric blue, then I changed it to emerald green, and the last color I had was Mardi Gras purple. My biggest concern with the colors was trying to keep them vivid for as long as possible, and one of the ways to maintain colored hair is to swap out regular ol' shampoo for shampoo formulated to not only help your color stay on but to keep them bright and vivid as well.

So, for those of you with colored hair or are considering colored hair, here are some shampoos for colored hair that I've heard good things about arranged in order of ascending price.
