Curl Mythbusters—What You’ve Been Told vs. What Actually Works
You’ve heard it all before.
“Curly hair is unprofessional.”
“Oil is the ultimate fix.”
“Don’t wash your hair too often.”
Let’s clear the air. It’s time to bust the biggest myths keeping your curls from living their best life.
❌ Myth #1: You Shouldn’t Wash Curly Hair Often
✅ Truth: You shouldn’t over wash with harsh shampoos, but cleansing is essential.
Build-up = dryness = frizz = sad curls. Use a gentle Manetain Moisturizing Shampoo 2–3 times a week and a Manetain Clarifying Shampoo once or twice a month to reset your scalp.
❌ Myth #2: Oil Is a Moisturiser
✅ Truth: Oil seals in moisture—it doesn’t provide it.
Applying oil to dry hair without water or a hydrator underneath just locks in dryness. Always use oil after hydrating, never instead of.

❌ Myth #3: Frizz Means You Did Something Wrong
✅ Truth: Frizz is natural—and manageable.
It’s feedback, not failure. It could mean your hair needs more moisture, better sealing, or protection from humidity.

❌ Myth #4: Styling Products Make Hair Crunchy and Dry
✅ Truth: The right stylers define curls without the crunch.
It’s all about technique. Apply on soaking wet hair and scrunch out the cast once dry.

❌ Myth #5: The More Products, the Better
✅ Truth: Less is more when you understand your hair’s needs.
It’s not about layering 10 things. It’s about the right 2–3 products that align with your texture, porosity, and routine.
Start simple:
Cleanse → Condition → Style → Protect
❌ Myth #6: Curls = High Maintenance
✅ Truth: Curls = Care + Consistency.
It may take time to find your rhythm, but once you do? The effort pays off. Healthy curls hold styles longer, need less frequent washing, and look amazing with minimal fuss.

The curly hair world is full of noise. But your hair doesn’t need trends—it needs truth.
Busting these myths is just the beginning. With knowledge, intention, and Manetain’s curl-specific formulas, your hair can thrive on facts—not fiction.
