How to Maintain Curly Hair: The Assort Melbourne Guide

🌀

Let’s be real: Melbourne’s weather has a mind of its own. One minute it’s sunny, the next it’s a humid mess. For our curly-haired community, that usually means one thing. FRIZZ.

When you step out of Assort Melbourne with a fresh set of defined, bouncy curls, naturally you want that feeling to last. To help you out, here is exactly how to keep that ‘just-left-the-salon’ magic alive at home.

It’s not just about the products you use. Fundamentally it’s about moisture! Curly hair is naturally thirstier than straight hair. So, when the cuticle is dry, it opens up to grab moisture from the Melbourne air, leading to unwanted puffiness.

Our Pro Tips:

  • Don’t over-shampoo: Wash only 2-3 times a week to keep natural oils where they belong.

  • The “Plop” Method: Use a microfiber towel or an old cotton T-shirt to dry your hair. Never rub!

  • Cold Rinse: End your shower with a splash of cool water to seal the hair cuticle for maximum shine.
