Caring for 3A Curly Hair
- 3A hair is defined by loose, S-shaped spirals, about the size of sidewalk chalk, with fine to medium texture.
- It’s prone to dryness, frizz, and breakage, but less voluminous and frizzy than 3B or 3C curls.
- Know your hair’s porosity to better tailor your moisturizing and styling routine.
- Avoid sulfates and harsh ingredients that strip natural moisture and damage your curls.
- Focus on hydration with leave-ins, masks, pre-poo treatments, and moisturizing styling products.
- Limit washing to once a week to preserve natural oils and prevent dryness.
- Pineapple your hair at night to protect curls and reduce frizz while sleeping.
- Use curly-hair-specific products, like Davines' LOVE Curl Line, masks, and curl serums to define and nourish.
- Be gentle when detangling, use a wide-tooth comb, and avoid brushing dry curls.
- Try heat-free drying techniques, like plopping, to preserve curl definition and minimize frizz.
- Avoid tight hairstyles that tug at your roots and disrupt your curl pattern.
- Keep styling essentials on hand, like hairspray and curl-refreshing sprays for touch-ups.
- Remember: moisture is key—you can’t over-hydrate curly hair.
- See a Davines stylist for personalized advice and cuts that suit your curls
