Coily Hair
Tightly coiled, full of volume, and beautifully bold — but it craves moisture. The right care routine helps retain hydration, reduce breakage, and keep coils defined and healthy.yes wr
Tips From an Industry Expert
Coily hair is delicate and naturally drier, so moisture and gentle handling are key. Here’s how to care for your coils:
- Use a moisturising co-wash or sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse without stripping natural oils.
- Deep condition weekly to nourish and strengthen your strands.
- Apply a leave-in conditioner straight after washing to lock in moisture.
- Seal with a natural oil like argan or jojoba to prevent dryness.
- Avoid frequent brushing — finger detangling is gentler on coils.
- Protect hair at night with a satin scarf, bonnet, or pillowcase to minimise breakage.
