While your hair is in the Shirley Temple curls, you won’t be able to apply moisturizing sprays or water, as your hair will revert to its natural state. Use your fingers or a comb to part your hair into four equal sections, and then secure each section with a ponytail holder.

Once your hair is clean, conditioned, and detangled, it’s time to section your hair to make the styling process as stress-free as possible. You’ll have to rinse the conditioner out of your hair after detangling. No matter what product you use as a detangler, be sure to use a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles and knots from your hair.Ī Denman brush or narrow-tooth comb may be too rough on your strands, increasing the risk of hair breakage and damage. If your conditioner is not suitable for detangling, you can use an actual detangling product. The best time to detangle your curls is right after putting the conditioner/deep conditioner on your hair if your conditioner is slippery. You can put on a shower cap and sit under a hooded dryer to enhance the conditioner’s penetration. If your hair is parched, apply a slippery deep conditioner to your hair and leave it on for at least 15 minutes. If your natural hair is curly, coily, or kinky, it’s important that you add sufficient moisture.Īpply your conditioner and leave it in your hair according to the instructions on the product container. To impart moisture and nutrients to your hair, you should condition it after the shampooing session. If your hair is very dirty, don’t be afraid to shampoo it twice. Use a gentle shampoo that adequately removes buildup and debris from your hair.Īs a general tip, it’s best to refrain from using sulfate shampoos, as they have the potential to completely strip your hair, leaving you with dry, unhealthy strands. It’s critical to ensure that your hair has been thoroughly washed before doing Shirley Temple curls.
