Ask Kcurly–Curl definition

A comment from Benjamin:

Hey, I’m a young man (16 1/2) looking for some help with hair. I was hoping your site could also apply to men’s hair. You seem to know your stuff and there’s really no home for black male hair on the internet.

I’ve been using texturizers for awhile now and I’m looking to transition into a more natural style. I really liked how the texturizers brought out the curls in my hair, but the product build-up is really gross and leaves my hair thick and greasy! And if I wash it, the curls weaken. So I don’t wanna use s-curls anymore.

Is there any moisturizers/conditioners/any products out there that can exaggerate the curls in my hair without making it greasy, while also allowing me to wash regularly? I could really use your help, thank you

Benjamin! I so appreciate you reading and yes, there are not a lot of sites for young men with natural hair. I’m glad you’ve decided to stop using the Scurl. Of course, the information here can be used for young men…after all hair is hair!

For curl definition, I follow this recipe:

• Apply products to soaking wet hair
• Use a leave in conditioner under a styling product
• Do not touch the hair until it’s dry
• Fingercombing
• One of the underlying factors of well defined hair is moisture. Make sure that your hair is moisturized before you’ve started styling with deep conditioning and proper care.

I don’t know how long your hair is, but a lot of people swear by the Denman brush for curl definition. You can also check out my Products I love section for good styling combos and product suggestions. I hope that helps, let me know if you have more questions.
