Cultivating Gender-Free Curls
Regardless of gender, enhancing curls can be a challenge, it takes know-how and time to achieve polished defined texture. “Hair is hair…made up of proteins, amino acids, biotin, niacin, vitamin C, etc. To best nourish curls, look at the hair strand and not your guest’s gender. Everyone's natural curls/coils have one thing in common, they tend to be dryer and require more moisture-based products for health, and cream or gloss products for definition and shine,” says Teresa Romero, Creative Director for Sam Villa and Artistic/Education Director for Jose Luis Salon @_teresa_romero.
