If you’re lucky enough to of been blessed with some form of curls, whether they’re tight, spiral, or even just natural beachy waves, this post is for you! This is your go-to guide on how to take care of your natural curls – maintaining the frizz & making the most of your hairs natural beauty.
First things first, we have to determine what type of curl you have. We like to seperate them into 3 different types, such as:
Spiral Curls
You have the tightest of tight curls!
Take a look at your curls, are they dry? Having really curly hair means you need ALOT of MOISTURE! You obviously don’t need any help with creating more curl, but maybe need some help with taming the frizz.
Products We Recommend:
Our Keune CARE Curl Control Shampoo & Keune CARE Curl Control Mask These two products are going to be PERFECT for adding lots of hydration into your hair! Replacing a conditioner with a mask is ideal for deeply moisturising dry hair, and will prove itself beneficial to you & your curls. The mask has a luxurious feel, and it adds shine & softness without adding weight to your locks.
Once you have washed and towel dried your hair, we recommend using the Anti-Frizz Serum from the ELEVEN Australia range. The serum contains argan oil which is the PERFECT frizz fighter, ideal for taming those fly-aways & adding a nice shine to your hair.
Steps to Achieve the Perfect Spiral Curls:
1. Shampoo a small amount of Keune CARE Curl Control Shampoo into your hair, rinse & repeat.**
2. Condition your hair with the Keune CARE Curl Control Mask (using approximately a 10 cent piece size). Apply this from the mid-lengths to the ends of your hair, combing this through with a wide tooth comb. Leave in your hair for 3-5 minutes then rinse.
3. After the shower, apply the ELEVEN Australia Anti-Frizz Serum, firstly make sure your hair has been combed and towel dried. Massage this through with scrunching motions.*
* Don’t play with your hair too much – the more you touch it, the more “frizzy” it becomes.
** You should ALWAYS shampoo TWICE! The first shampoo removes the surface dirt & oils in your hair, and the second will give your hair a deep clean, removing any excess oils. Ideally, you should only be washing your hair every 3-4 days.
Bouncy Curls
Bouncy curls! These type are still super curly, but are not as tight. If you have these curls, you may need a little help to make them more defined and less frizzy, without compromising on volume & body.

The choice is yours when drying your hair, whether thats letting it dry naturally or with a diffuser. If you decide to use a diffuser, make sure its on a medium speed with your head upside down, as this will help add body! ***
***Always make sure you only dry your hair 50% of the way, to let your natural curls define & settle. Don’t forget that touching your hair too much will create more frizz!
