3. Characteristics of curly hair
Curly hair forms well-defined curls that look like springs, but it tends to be dry, so it is not advisable to use tinctures in this type of hair, not to dry it further.

In addition, you should use the combing cream and let the curls dry naturally, only removing excess water by kneading the hair with paper towel. But when using the dryer is a good tip is to pass a little gel on the tips of the hair, over the combing cream, and use the diffuser to define the curls.
