This technique involves tying your hair in the highest possible spot on your head in a loose ponytail before going to bed to prevent it from getting tangled. You’ll wake up to naturally beautiful curls!

Use a T-shirt to dry your hairUnlike the harsh texture of a Turkish towel which will ruin the shape of your curls, the softer material of a T-shirt will not only leave your curls well-defined after a wash, but will also reduce frizz and breakage.

Create volume with a chopstickHold a portion of your hair gently at the ends and run a chopstick between two strands of hair from mid-shaft to roots to enhance its volume. You could also use it to separate the ringlets without making your hair frizzy.

Nourish your conditionerAdd a few drops of jojoba oil to your conditioner and mix well. This little bit of added nourishment will make sure your curls have a smooth texture.

Squeeze and smoothenAvoid applying conditioner on your hair all at once. Instead, take a few strands of hair together, squeeze them gently and slide your hands from mid-shaft till the end to smoothen it as you apply the conditioner.  This will ensure that the conditioner works well to keep your curls moisturised.
