Tips to Help You Manage Your Curls (Men’s Edition)

One thing Indian men are blessed with is beautiful and luscious curly or wavy hair. Sadly, many of them don’t like to flaunt their curls in all their glory.

Why?

So many reasons. If you’re a curly-haired man, how many of these reasons resonate with you?

• Curly or wavy hair is tough to maintain

• Curly or wavy hair doesn’t make you look very ‘manly’

• Your curly or wavy hair takes a lot of time to care for

• Curly hair doesn’t look great when you wake up or sweat

• Wavy or curly hair is tough to style

If you’re nodding ‘yes’ to any of the above reasons, that’s completely fine. We understand. But guess what? You have to get rid of all those beliefs if you want to make the most of your pretty curls and wavy strands.

How do you retain your curls as a busy man who has so much more to do with time? Here are a few tips to help your curls last longer.

How to Manage Your Curls When You Sleep

• It’s best to sleep on your side or stomach when you wear curly hair. It prevents the curls from tangling or matting in your sleep.

• Wear your hair in a satin bonnet or use a satin pillowcase. It keeps your hair from getting frizzy and prevents breakage. 

• Put up your hair in a pineapple. If your curly or wavy hair is long enough, you can tie it up in a pineapple for the best protection.

How to Manage Your Curls When You Gym or Sweat

Men who work out or do physical work will sweat a lot, which may make their curls lose their curls and fall limply. To avoid this:

• Put up your hair in a bun or pineapple to keep it out of the sweat on your neck or face.

• If you have the time, spritz your hair with a leave-in spray and scrunch up, as usual, to redefine your curls after working out. 

• You can also keep a leave-in conditioner handy for quick touch-ups after a workout or stressful work.
