Hair Type: Coily

Hey Gorgeous! 💖 Your coily hair is bold, beautiful, and full of life! With its tight curls and incredible volume, coily hair deserves extra love to keep it moisturized, defined, and healthy. Your coils are a work of art—so wear them with pride!

General Goal The key is deep hydration and gentle care! Coils need plenty of moisture, minimal manipulation, and protective styling to keep them strong and defined. With the right balance of moisture, detangling techniques, and nourishing products, your coils will thrive. Whether you love a voluminous fro, twist-outs, or protective styles, your coily hair is pure magic—so own it! 💖

1. Hair Care – Keep Your Coils Moisturized & Strong

Coily hair is naturally drier, so moisture is everything! Keeping it hydrated and tangle-free is key.

  • Use a sulfate-free, ultra-hydrating shampoo to cleanse without drying out your strands.

  • Deep condition every wash day to infuse moisture and strengthen your coils. Oil your hair an hour or so before you wash it.

  • Detangle with a wide-tooth comb or fingers while your hair is drenched in conditioner.

  • Apply products on damp or soaking wet hair to lock in hydration (for example with an emollient-rich cream).

  • Protective styles like braids or twists help reduce breakage and retain moisture.

  • Pat hair dry with a microfiber towel or t-shirt to reduce frizz.

2. Product Selection – Your Coils’ Best Friends 

The right products keep your coils soft, defined, and full of life without breakage.

  • Shampoo & Conditioner: Go for sulfate-free, ultra-moisturizing formulas.  Investing in products that are specifically made for coily hair is well worth it.

  • Leave-in Conditioner: A non-negotiable for keeping coils soft and manageable.

  • Thick Curl Cream or Butter: Adds deep moisture and helps define curls.

  • Oils (Coconut, Jojoba, Castor, Shea): Seals in moisture and prevents breakage.

  • Deep Conditioning Mask: Use weekly for intense hydration and strength.

  • Avoid Mineral Oils & Silicones: These can cause buildup and dryness over time.

3. Recommended Routine – When to Do What? 

A simple, low-manipulation routine will keep your coils thriving!

  • Morning: Refresh with a water-based leave-in or spritz to awaken coils. Gently fluff for volume!

  • Evening: Moisturize with a light leave-in and seal with oil. Sleep in a satin bonnet or on a silk pillowcase to prevent dryness and friction.

  • Wash Days: Cleanse with a sulfate-free shampoo, deep condition, and apply a leave-in before styling. Use the LOC or LCO method (Leave-in, Oil, Cream) to lock in moisture. Wash 1x per week, condition more often.

4. To Avoid – What Not to Do! 

Coily hair is delicate, and certain habits can lead to dryness and breakage—here’s what to avoid:

  • Over-washing! Coils love moisture, so wash only when needed to retain hydration.

  • Using fine-tooth combs—gentle detangling is best to avoid breakage.

  • Skipping deep conditioning—your coils need extra love to stay soft and defined.

  • Using heat too often—frequent heat styling can weaken your curl pattern.

  • Rough towel-drying—use a microfiber towel or T-shirt to dry without frizz.

Your coily hair is a masterpiece! Keep it hydrated, protect it, and let those beautiful coils shine. 💖
