Using Hot Water<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Hot water may feel luxurious, but it can strip your curls of their natural oils, leaving them dry and prone to damage. My advice? Stick to lukewarm water when cleansing your hair, and finish with a cool rinse to seal the cuticles and add shine.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Over-Shampooing Your Curls<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Put down that shampoo bottle! Over-shampooing can dry out your curls and lead to frizz. At Lesley Amsterdam&#8217;s salon in Amsterdam, we recommend washing your hair no more than twice a week using a sulfate-free, gentle shampoo designed specifically for curly hair.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Neglecting Conditioner<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Conditioner is your curls&#8217; best friend. It keeps them hydrated, nourished, and manageable. Apply a generous amount of conditioner from mid-length to ends, and use a wide-tooth comb to distribute it evenly. For an extra dose of moisture, try one of our deep conditioning treatments at Lesley Amsterdam&#8217;s salon in Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Rough Towel Drying<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Step away from the rough towel! Rubbing your curls with a regular towel can lead to frizz and breakage. Instead, opt for a microfiber towel or soft t-shirt to gently squeeze excess water from your curls.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Brushing Wet Curls\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Curly-haired Amsterdammers, listen up! Brushing your curls while they&#8217;re wet is a recipe for disaster. If you must detangle your hair in the shower, use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to the roots.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Excessive Protein Treatments<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Protein treatments can work wonders for strengthening your curls, but too much of a good thing can lead to protein buildup, leaving your hair stiff and brittle. At Lesley Amsterdam&#8217;s salon in Amsterdam, we recommend limiting protein treatments to once a month or as needed.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Forgetting Nighttime Curl Protection<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Your curls need protection, even while you sleep. Sleeping on a cotton pillowcase can absorb moisture from your hair and cause friction. Upgrade to a satin or silk pillowcase, or wear a satin bonnet to keep your Amsterdam curls safe and sound.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Skipping Essential Trims<\/h2>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Split ends are not your friend. They can travel up the hair shaft, causing damage and frizz. At Lesley Amsterdam&#8217;s salon in Amsterdam, we recommend regular trims every 6-8 weeks to keep your curls healthy and maintain their shape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-161fca1 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"161fca1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fa7b1fc\" data-id=\"fa7b1fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e4ebffa elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e4ebffa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.20.0 - 13-03-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/by-lesleyamsterdam-tips-tricks.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8194\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/by-lesleyamsterdam-tips-tricks.png 1024w, https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/by-lesleyamsterdam-tips-tricks-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/by-lesleyamsterdam-tips-tricks-768x509.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fbe7439\" data-id=\"fbe7439\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5be505a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"5be505a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/8-mistakes-curly-hair-by-lesley-amsterdam-tips-tricks.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-8195\" alt=\"By Lesley Amsterdam, Amsterdam&apos;s curly hair expert, shares her top 10 secret weapons for achieving flawless, bouncy curls and unleashing your hair&apos;s true potential.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/8-mistakes-curly-hair-by-lesley-amsterdam-tips-tricks.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.bylesleyamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/8-mistakes-curly-hair-by-lesley-amsterdam-tips-tricks-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bf0ad63 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"bf0ad63\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ae6cff7\" data-id=\"ae6cff7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2211146 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2211146\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>By avoiding these sneaky shower mistakes and following my expert tips, you can achieve the healthy, bouncy curls of your dreams.
