Tatler breaks down the basics of the curly hair routine and recommends several products to help you get the best curls of your life
Caring for your curly hair can be a mystery. Growing up in a society that regards straight hair as a preferred beauty standard, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements that designate naturally textured hair as “unkempt” and even “dirty”.
Some of us try to tame our hair with chemicals and relaxers. It’s a good thing that the local beauty community has recently begun embracing natural hair. Curls require a little more TLC when it comes to styling, washing and maintaining, but we’re here to help demystify the whole process.
