<br />While different curl types have different needs, they also share some common concerns. When it comes to curly hair, scalp oils have a harder time traveling down the bends in the hair shaft, which can leave hair dry and dull.<br /><br />That's why adding additional moisture back into the hair is essential-and mongongo oil is an amazing way to do that. Mongongo oil is rich in poly-unsaturated fatty acids, which form a protective barrier on hair's surface. This prevents moisture from escaping, boosts shine, and even helps to protect against sun damage.<br /><br />Here's how you can incorporate mongongo oil into your weekly routine based on your curl type.<br /><br />Loose CurlsLoose curls and waves tend to have a split personality: flatter at the crown, curvy in the mid-lengths, and drier on the ends. To bring your curls back to life, work our Revive &amp; Shine Dry Oil Mist into your mid-lengths and ends. The mongongo and watermelon seed oils condition strands and deliver deep hydration, keeping curls soft, moisturized and resistant to breakage.<br /><br />Classic CurlsIf frizz is an issue for your S-shaped spirals, use our Mongongo Oil Multi-Use Treatment to smooth things over. Pump a dime-sized amount into your hands and rub your palms together. Then, use your fingers to smooth the oil over the surface of your strands for additional moisture and shine.<br /><br />Pro tip: If you're on Day 2 or 3 curls, our Clean Sweep Moisturizing Dry Shampoo will instantly refresh your curls in between washes. Made with mongongo oil and ultra-fine silky powders, it won't dry out your scalp or cause buildup.<br /><br />Tight Curls<br /><br />Oil makes an ideal finishing product for corkscrew coils since it adds an extra layer of protective moisture. After styling with gel, use a few pumps of our Mongongo Oil Treatment to smooth over your coils and break the 'cast'. This styling method leaves tight curls soft and super shiny.<br /><br />Pro tip: If your curls are feeling extra dry, try using the oil as an overnight treatment. Saturate your mid-lengths and ends with the oil and sleep with a turban or towel. After you shampoo and condition in the morning, you'll reveal smooth, shinier strands.<br /><br />Coily Curls <br /><br />When it comes to coily curls, the more moisture, the better. Layer up for mega hydration: Prime curls with a liquid leave-in, like our Moisture Lock Leave In Conditioner, seal it in with our Mongongo Oil Multi-Use Treatment, and finish with a cream styler for lasting definition.
