Let’s get one thing straight—curly hair is not high maintenance, it just needs the right maintenance. The truth is, most of us weren’t taught how to care for our curls, and regular salons? They’ve been treating textured hair like a problem to “fix.”
This guide breaks down the absolute do’s and don’ts of curly hair care, straight from the experts at India’s top curly hair salons—Curl Care Salon in Thane, Mumbai, and Noi Tre Salons in Khan Market, Vasant Vihar (Delhi), and South Point Mall, Gurgaon.
Whether you’re just starting your curl journey or have been in it for years, these rules are the real deal.

✅ Do’s for Curly Hair
1. Use a sulphate-free shampoo
Sulfates strip your natural oils and dry your curls out. Your hair needs moisture, not foam.
Try: Untangled Shampoo – gently cleanses without disturbing your curl pattern.
2. Condition like your life depends on it
Curly hair is naturally dry. Hydrating your strands is non-negotiable.
Try: Hydrate Don’t Hate Conditioner – gives your hair the slip it needs to stay soft and detangled.
3. Apply product on soaking wet hair
Don’t towel-dry before applying your curl cream or gel. Water helps distribute product evenly and locks in hydration.
Try: Define & Shine Curl Cream + Organic Aloe Vera Gel combo for hold without crunch.
4. Use a diffuser—not a regular dryer
Air drying is fine, but a diffuser helps define and dry curls evenly—without the frizz.
Use: Collapsible Diffuser – easy to carry and curl-friendly.
5. Go to a curly specialist
Seriously. Not every stylist knows how to cut or style curly hair. A regular layer cut will not “bring out your curls.”
Go to salons that actually know curls:
- Curl Care Salon, Thane – Mumbai’s go-to for curly & wavy hair
- Noi Tre Salon, Vasant Vihar & Khan Market – Delhi
- Noi Tre Salon, South Point Mall – Gurgaon
These salons offer dry curl cuts, personalized advice, and use curl-friendly products only.

❌ Don’ts for Curly Hair
1. Don’t brush dry curls
Unless you want instant frizz and breakage—just no. Detangle in the shower with conditioner.
2. Don’t use towel to dry hair
Rough fabrics cause frizz and break your curl clumps.
Use: A soft cotton T-shirt or a microfiber towel to scrunch out excess water.
3. Don’t skip leave-in or styling products
Water alone isn’t enough. You need moisture and hold to keep curls defined.
4. Don’t go to a regular salon for a curly cut
If they cut your curls wet, don’t assess your pattern, or reach for a blow-dryer at the end—please cancel that appointment.
5. Don’t expect all curls to behave the same
Your friend’s routine might not work for you. Your hair needs its own care plan, and a good curl salon will help you figure that out.
Final Thoughts: Give Your Curls the Love They Deserve
Your curls aren’t difficult—they’re just misunderstood. With the right products, tools, and expert guidance, your hair can thrive. Skip the salon roulette and go where your curls are actually seen and celebrated:
