Q: What ingredients should I look for in a shampoo or conditioner?

A: Look for products that contain biotin, which strengthens hair follicles, and keratin, which helps repair damage. You may also want to consider shampoos and conditioners that include essential oils like peppermint or tea tree oil to nourish your scalp and stimulate blood flow.

Q: Can I still use moisturizing or anti-frizz products if I'm trying to encourage growth?

Other helpful substances include folic acid (to ward off thinning), omega-3 fatty acids (for hydration), zinc (to combat dandruff), iron…

Q: Do heat styling tools hinder my curl pattern?

Q: How often should I deep condition my curly hair?

A: Ideally, you should use a deep conditioner every time you wash your hair, which is usually once or twice a week for most people with curly tresses. Make sure to focus the product on the ends of your hair and leave it in for at least 10 minutes before rinsing.
