All About Curly Hair
Curly hair is as unique as a fingerprint. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and textures – from soft waves to tight coils – and requires a little extra TLC to keep it looking its best. At Mova Hair Salons in Staines and Virginia Water, we understand the beauty (and the challenges) of curls, and we’re here to help you embrace your natural texture with confidence.

Curls Are Naturally Drier
Curly hair tends to be drier than straight hair because the natural oils from your scalp have a harder time travelling down the twists and turns of your strands. That’s why hydration is key! Using a sulphate-free, moisturising shampoo and conditioner will help keep your curls soft and frizz-free. We also recommend incorporating a deep conditioning treatment once a week to restore moisture and boost shine.
Every Curl Type Is Different
From loose waves to corkscrew curls, no two curl patterns are the same – and most people have more than one curl type on their head! Understanding your specific curl pattern can make a huge difference in how you care for and style your hair. Our experienced stylists at Mova can help you identify your curl type and recommend the best products and techniques to suit your hair’s unique needs.
Regular Trims Are a Must
Split ends and breakage are more noticeable on curly hair, especially if you're trying to grow it long. Regular trims every 8-12 weeks will help keep your curls healthy and bouncy. At Mova, we take extra care when cutting curly hair, often using dry cutting techniques to see how your curls naturally fall before we shape them.
Don’t Skip the Leave-In Conditioner
A good leave-in conditioner or curl cream can work wonders for enhancing definition and reducing frizz. Apply it to damp hair, then use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle. Avoid brushing dry curls – this can cause breakage and unwanted puffiness.
Diffusing vs Air-Drying
When it comes to drying curly hair, gentle is best. Air-drying works well if you have time, but if you're in a rush, use a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer. This spreads the airflow evenly, reduces frizz, and helps enhance your curl pattern without disturbing it.
Curly Hair Needs the Right Products
At Mova, we stock a curated selection of salon-quality products specially designed for curly hair. Whether you’re looking for curl-enhancing creams, hydrating masks, or anti-frizz serums, we can help you build a routine that works for you. Ask your Mova stylist for personalised product recommendations during your next appointment.
