Curly Hair 101

At Crown Healing, we understand that curly hair requires specialized care, expertise, and a deeper level of attention than traditional salons provide. Our mission is to create a healing space where you feel valued, educated, and empowered to embrace your natural curls. From our one-on-one personalized appointments to our commitment to organic products and transparent pricing, we do things differently.

You’ll have questions – and you should have questions. From conversations with clients, friends and the community, we’ve addressed some of the most frequently asked. We hope section this section helps you understand why Crown Healing is the best place to care for your curls.

Curly Hair Basics

Curly-haired clients should trim their hair every 3 to 4 months to maintain healthy curls and prevent split ends. However, the frequency can vary based on hair type, styling habits, and overall hair health. Ask your stylist when it’s best for you.

The frequency depends on your curl type and scalp needs. Most curly hair benefits from washing once or twice a week with a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo.

We recommend limiting heat usage to prevent damage. If you must use heat, always apply a heat protectant and use low or medium settings and making sure to hydrate and repair after.

Try the pineapple method (loosely tying hair at the top of your head) or sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz.

Lightly mist your hair with water or a leave-in conditioner mix and use your hands to reshape curls. Avoid brushing dry curls to prevent frizz.
