How to Enhance Your Natural Curls
If you have naturally curly hair, embracing and enhancing your curls can be a game-changer for your hair routine. Whether you have loose waves or tight coils, here are some tips to help you enhance your natural curls and achieve the gorgeous mane you've always wanted.
1. Moisturize Regularly
Curly hair tends to be dry, making moisture a key ingredient in its care. To enhance your natural curls, establish a routine that emphasizes hydration.
