Curly Hair Myths You Need to Stop Believing
And What Actually Works…
Myth #1: You Can’t Bleach Curly Hair 🚫⚡
💡 The Truth: Yes, you can bleach curly hair! The key is working with a stylist who understands your texture and knows how to lift color while keeping your curls healthy.
At Salon Lola, we specialize in blonding and dimensional color for curls, using techniques and products that minimize damage while achieving your dream look. The right stylist will customize the process to ensure your curls stay vibrant, defined, and healthy.
Myth #2: You Should Only Co-Wash 🚿
💡 The Truth: Co-washing isn’t for everyone! While it works for some hair types, many textures need regular cleansing to remove buildup, refresh the scalp, and keep hair healthy.
A healthy scalp is the foundation for healthy hair, and using a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo ensures your curls stay moisturized without clogging the scalp or weighing down your hair. The key is finding the right balance for your texture and scalp needs!

Myth #3: Brushing Curls is Always Bad 🚫🌀
💡 The Truth: It’s not about if you brush your curls—it’s about how and with what!
Dry brushing can cause frizz and breakage
Pulling too hard can loosen tighter textures over time
Using the wrong brush can cause unnecessary damage
Instead, choose gentle detangling tools like a brush that is made for detangling curls. Always detangle with conditioner in the shower to minimize breakage.

Myth #4: You Have to “Train” Your Curls to Curl More 💪🌀
💡 The Truth: Curls don’t need “training” to be healthy—they need proper care!
If your curls aren’t clumping the way you want, it’s not because they’re “untrained.” The real reason might be:
Product buildup weighing them down
A lack of moisture or hydration 💦
Damage from heat, color, or friction 🔥
With the right haircut, products, and routine, your curls will thrive naturally—no “training” required!
✨ Struggling with curl definition? A treatment might be exactly what your hair needs!
