Heat could damage your curls, so it's probably better to style those strands with products instead. Try this Curl Shaping Jelly from HASK to give your hair the definition it deserves.

2. When you do use a diffuser or a flat iron, keep those curls safe with a heat protection spray.

Sure, every once in a while it's fun to heat up a styling tool and give yourself a fresh look. When you do this, just make sure you're keeping the temperature low and using a product that offers thermal protection, like this 5-In-1 Leave-In Spray from HASK.

3. Trim your curls regularly.

Not all shampoos are created equal, and hair isn't either. Spend some time finding one that'll perfectly pamper your curls, like this frizz-free Curl Care shampoo from HASK. Don't forget to pair it with a nourishing conditioner.

5. Don't overwash your hair.

Keep your hair happy by not washing it too often. While the amount you should shampoo your hair is different person-to-person, try to limit washes to around a couple of times a week.

6. Get your hands in there.

Your fingers are the best tool you have to put product on those curls! They'll help you evenly distribute and control the amount of cream and mousse you run through them.

7. Detangle your curls with a wide-toothed comb.

Is your hair troublingly tangled? Try loosening your curls by gently brushing through them with a wide-toothed comb instead of a standard brush. This will help them maintain their shape.

8. Work from the bottom up.

When you comb through that messy hair, make sure you're working in sections, from the bottom to the top. Being careful with your curls will prevent damage!

9. Wash your hair with cold water.

Hot water can strip your curls of their natural oils and lead to frizz and breakage — and who wants that? Instead, try to stick to cool water, which is way less harsh on your fragile hair.

10. Use a deep conditioner.
