Desert Bloom
It is often said that this type of curl pattern is not defined. On the contrary, your kinky hair is composed of densely packed strands of gorgeous coils. Shrinking up to 75% of its length when wet, this tight coil pattern gives your hair enviable thickness and volume. This also means that your hair is drier and more fragile, so moisture and manipulation-free styles are key to your hair health.
Protective styles like twists, braids or buns are perfect for your hair as they do not need daily styling, giving your curls a break. A regular regimen, of cleansing, deep conditioning and moisture sealing will allow your delicate coils to flourish.
TIPS & TRICKS
- As your hair has a tendency to tangle, washing and styling in sections is ideal for length retention.
- Stretched hairstyles are essential to your repertoire: Avoid heat damage by using heat-free methods to stretch your hair, such as flexi-rods, twist outs or bantu knots.
- Style using your fingers instead of combs and brushes for a gentler touch.
- To maximise protection, ensure your leave-in conditioner contains cream humectants.
- For unstoppable twist-styles, use curl defining custards or butters that will moisturise and hold your hair without weighing it down.
- Sleep with a silk or satin cap to protect your hair and prevent breakage at night.
