To avoid the annoying feeling of frizziness, I still wash them frequently \u2013 about every other day. The only exception is when I&#8217;m at the beach: saltwater helps make my curls a lot more defined. The most important part of my routine is the washing \u2013 the only time when my hair will tolerate brushing! After the shampoo, I need hair conditioner that&#8217;ll absorb quickly and allow me to brush easily. I don&#8217;t use a comb \u2013 that would make my hair break off. After rinsing, I dry excess water with a towel and apply a treatment for extra curl definition, which I alternate with argan oil in the summer so that my hair gets the nourishment it needs. In this season, I also apply an UV-protective spray, even though it makes my hair get greasy faster.<br \/>\n<strong>Cut.<\/strong>\u00a0once or twice a year, because I am desperately (I&#8217;m only half-joking) trying to grow my hair longer!
