Introduction

In a previous post, we explored the uniqueness of curls and the various curl patterns, along with tips on how to care for them. In this article, we’re taking your curly hair journey one step further. We believe that truly understanding curly hairstyles requires more than just the basics—it’s about understanding the specific needs of your curls and providing a tailored hair care routine that ensures long-lasting, healthy curly hairstyles. As a top Curly hair salon (Hong Kong), we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Personalised curl care: Understanding curly hairstyles

Each curl pattern is unique, and so is the care it requires. While our last post focused on the techniques for cutting and styling curls, this article goes further into what your curls need to stay nourished, hydrated, and healthy.

Daily care for different curl types:

• Wavy hair: Lightweight products like curl creams or mousses usually work best to avoid weighing down your waves. Use a leave-in conditioner to refresh and maintain curl definition while keeping frizz at bay.
• Curly hair: Hydration is essential! Opt for a water-based leave-in conditioner followed by a curl-enhancing cream or gel. Set your curls by diffusing on a low heat setting.
• Coily hair: We recommend the LOC method (Leave-in, Oil, Cream) to keep coily hair moisturised. On non-wash days, spritz with water and oil to revitalise your coils.

Protecting curly hairstyles in Hong Kong’s humidity:

• Seal in moisture: Use a curl cream or gel to lock in hydration and create a barrier against the humid air.
• Humidity-fighting products: Anti-frizz serums or sprays can help block humidity, keeping your curls well-defined and frizz-free.
• Hands off: After styling, avoid touching your hair to prevent unwanted frizz from extra handling.

Common mistakes with curly hairstyles:

• Over-washing: Try to limit washing to two or three times per week to retain your hair’s natural oils. Choose sulphate-free, curl-friendly products for best results.
• Neglecting deep conditioning: Curls thrive on moisture, so deep conditioning once a week is crucial to avoid dryness and breakage.
• Brushing dry hair: Detangle your curls when wet, using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to prevent frizz and damage.

Curly hair products: More than just a great cut

At Love Hair, as a curl-friendly salon, we understand that curly hair needs more than just the right cut—it requires specialised care to keep it nourished and hydrated. That’s why, during your curly hair appointment, we offer treatments tailored specifically to curly hairstyles to ensure your hair gets the moisture and attention it needs.

Moisture masks and curl-specific treatments

Curly hairstyles often crave extra hydration, and that’s where our moisture masks come into play. Designed to rejuvenate dry or damaged curls, these treatments deliver intense moisture, ensuring your curls remain soft, defined, and full of bounce. Our masks contain rich ingredients that penetrate deep into the hair, locking in hydration and controlling frizz. Whether your curls are over-processed or struggling with Hong Kong’s humidity, our moisture mask treatments restore vitality and make your curls easier to manage.

Natural products for curly hair care

At Love Hair, we prioritise eco-conscious, hair-loving products that care for both your curls and the environment. We love the Kevin Murphy curl range and IN curl cream and gel, which are expertly formulated to define curls without any harmful additives. With natural ingredients like shea butter and baobab seed oil, these products nourish and hydrate your curls while being free from sulfates, parabens, and cruelty. 

Why timing matters: Curly hair appointment

Curly hair requires more time and attention than straight hair to achieve the best results. That’s why, when you book a curly hair appointment, we allocate extra time to ensure your stylist can give your curls the specialised care they need to revive and style your hair beautifully.

What you can expect during your curly hair appointment at Love Hair:

• Consultation: We start with a thorough consultation to understand your unique curl pattern, lifestyle, and hair goals. This allows us to tailor the best approach for your cut, colour, and overall hair care.
• Curl-conscious cut: Whether you prefer a wet or dry cut, our stylists will work with your curls' natural texture to ensure each curl falls into place. Using specialised techniques, we preserve curl definition while enhancing your hair’s shape and volume.
• Styling tips: After the cut, we apply the right curl-friendly products, such as curl creams or gels, to maximise definition and hydration for your curls.
• Learning the techniques: To wrap up, we’ll share personalised styling tips to help you maintain your curls at home, whether you choose to air-dry or diffuse.

This step-by-step approach ensures that each element of your curly hair appointment is tailored to your unique curls, ensuring you leave with results you love.

Curly hair experts

Whilst all of our stylists are trained to a high standard, which includes specific curly hair training, in the Hong Kong salon we have two curly hair experts, Dom and Tasha. With extensive training both prior to joining the salon and with continued training at Love Hair they both have a great deal of experience in colouring, cutting and styling curly hair. 

Dom 

Dom joined Love Hair from London and loves living in Hong Kong.

“I have 16 years of hairdressing experience, following my passion and mastering trends and techniques. I’ve recently branched out into education as well, allowing me to guide and inspire the next generation of hairdressers.”

Dom enjoys building good relationships with clients and helping them through their hair journeys to get the best results. When he’s not in the salon you can find him, exploring the city, socialising with friends or travelling.

Natasha

Natasha, or Tasha as she’s fondly known in the salon, joined Love Hair from a top hair salon in central London. Tasha has had experience in fashion shows, tv work and fashion shoots. She has a passion for all things hair, with a strong eye for detail. She gives the full salon experience and recommendations for products to maintain your hair and keep the condition as good as possible.
