22 I M A N I S P R I N G 2 0 1 7 CURLS' BEST FRIENDS Top educators' favorite products and tools for working on curly hair service station Bringing It Home You haven't done your job as a stylist if your client leaves your chair not knowing how to care for his hair at home. The curls may happen naturally but the care and maintenance knowledge doesn't. So, before he walks out the door, make sure you've shared a few instructions. Zermeno, for instance, is adamant about not over-shampooing. "I tell curly-haired clients not to wash their hair every day because that strips the natural oils that keep hair from becoming dry, frizzy and unruly," he says. "They must maintain moisture for the prime curl look." Other curl-caring tips to share with clients: • Look for moisturizing haircare products, such as those containing shea butter or plant oils to help fi ght off frizz. • A lock-in conditioner can help create a barrier to protect curls from the effects of the environmental elements, such as humidity and wind. • Consider a weekly mask to nourish the hair. • Avoid towel-drying too vigorously—press the towel against the hair instead. • Avoid heat styling, but if blow-drying hair use a diffuser to evenly disperse airfl ow. • Use a light-to-medium hold styling product, such as a cream or paste, to accentuate curls. • Use your fi ngers when styling hair, instead of a conventional comb.
