Body lotion does not cause any damage as such to the hair, but may end up making the hair look greasy. Also, if the lotion contains ingredients or chemicals that are not good for the hair, this could take a toll on your hair. Instead, it is better to first address the problem you are facing with your hair so that you can take the required measures to make it more manageable. Curly hair often tends to become dry and frizzy. Curly hair is also slightly more difficult to manage and hence most people try to suppress it by dousing it with creams or gels in an attempt to flatten out the curls. However, the best way to deal with curly hair is allow it to take on a life of its own. Curly hair also requires extra care and nourishment. The hair shaft consists of cuticle layers, which sometimes tend to rise up. This causes the hair to become frizzy and also take on a different texture. Curly and frizzy hair also tends to absorb more moisture, causing the hair to expand. This is what makes the hair stand up and become unmanageable.
Curly hair comes from a genetic trait, however improper care can cause it to become more frizzy and dry. Lack of moisture, poor nutrition, chemical treatments, humid weather, increased exposure to the sun and excess styling can all lead to frizzy hair. Ensure that you use a shampoo that is mild and specially customized for frizzy hair. Avoid shampoos and conditioners containing too many chemicals. Heat causes the hair to become frizzy, and as such it is best to stay away from heat appliances such as straighteners, blow dryers or curling irons. Refrain from using hair care products that contain alcohol, as this will dry out the hair. Curly hair looks best when left alone, and constant touching or combing the hair will only lead to a mass of frizz.
A beneficial hair mask can be made by mixing an egg into some olive oil. Apply this to the hair and rinse with shampoo and conditioner after thirty minutes. Oil massages are also very nourishing for the hair. You can apply olive oil, almond oil or castor oil to the hair. Mayonnaise is also known to be very helpful in moisturizing the hair. It can be applied to the hair before a hair wash. A paste of fuller's earth may be massaged into the hair twice a week for improving the condition of frizzy hair. Using these remedies on a regular basis will help to make your hair more manageable, while at the same time providing it with the necessary care.
