1. Hydrate with the right shampoo and conditioner
Curly hair in men naturally tends to feel dry and frizzy quickly. The right washing routine is therefore essential. Avoid harsh shampoos and choose a mild, nourishing cleanser that respects the natural oils in your hair.
Our recommendations:
Bullfrog Nourishing & Restorative Shampoo
This rich shampoo is specially developed to restore dry and brittle hair. It nourishes intensively and helps keep curls soft, shiny, and resilient – without weighing them down.
Prefer something ultra-soft?
Bullfrog Delicate Cleansing Fluid
Perfect for those who wash their hair often or have a sensitive scalp. This gentle cleanser soothes, hydrates, and protects your curls from drying out.
Bullfrog Nourishing Restorative Butter
This rich conditioner is a gamechanger for dry or damaged curly hair. It deeply nourishes, locks in moisture, and leaves your hair silky soft – without weighing it down.
Choose the formula that suits your hair type and take the first step towards perfectly defined, healthy curls.
2. Dry Gently – How to Avoid Lint (Extended Version)
Why is this crucial?
Curly hair in men is especially prone to breakage and frizz due to its complex structure. A regular bath towel has rough fibers that:
Cause friction → The curl structure gets damaged, causing frizz.
Absorbing moisture too aggressively → Your hair dries unevenly, resulting in a dull, messy appearance.
Step-by-Step Guide for Lint-Free Drying
1. Choose the Right Material
Microfiber towel: Super soft and absorbs water without rubbing.
Alternative: An old cotton T-shirt (smooth fabric = less friction).
2. The ‘Lint-Free’ Drying Technique
Step 1: Gently squeeze excess water from your hair without wringing.
Step 2: Wrap the T-shirt or microfiber towel around your hair and press gently (do not scrub!).
Step 3: Let your hair then air drying or use a diffuser (see tip #4).
3. What Absolutely Not to Do
❌ Towel dry your hair as if you are drying a plate → This destroys your curl pattern.
❌ Roughly rub it into the hair → Causes tangles and breakage.
Why Does This Work So Well?
Less breakage → Curls stay intact and healthy longer.
More definition → No friction = no disturbed curl structure.
Softer hair → No rough towel = closed hair cuticles for extra shine.
Experiment! Try using only this method for a week and compare the difference in frizz and curl definition.
3. Styling on Wet Hair = Beautiful Curly Hair Men
Why does this work?
Curls have the most shape memory when they are wet. By applying products immediately after washing, you lock in the curl structure and prevent frizz.
1. Choose your Styling Product (based on your curl type):
-
For strong hold & volume:
BullFrog Curl Control Foam – This foam provides for light hold without stickiness , ideal for fine to medium curls.How to apply?: Distribute a golf ball size amount over wet hair and scrunch upwards.
-
For intense hydration & definition:
Slick Gorilla Curl Cream – This rich cream fights fluff and provides long-lasting shape to thick, dry curls.How to apply?: Warm a pea-sized amount between your hands and work through the ends.
2. Scrunch for Perfect Curls
Bend forward and gently squeeze your curls upwards ( scrunching ) to create volume.
3. Diffuse or Air Dry
Use a diffuser on low heat for extra volume (see Tip #4).
Why These Products?
✔ BullFrog Curl Foam :
Lightweight, no crunch effect.
Contains argan oil for shine.
✔ Slick Gorilla Curl Cream :
Coconut oil & shea butter for extreme hydration.
Works as a anti-pilling magnet for thick curls.
💡 Pro Tip: Combine the Slick Gorilla Cream with a drop Reuzel Grooming Tonic for extra shine.
4. Hairdryer with a diffuser for extra volume in your male curls
A diffuser is a gamechanger for curly hair in men. Blow-dry your hair on a low setting and direct the diffuser at the roots to build volume without causing frizz.
5. Lock in moisture with a light hair oil
Many people with curly hair focus on moisturizing but forget the final step: sealing off the moisture . A good hair oil comes in handy for that. It not only provides shine but also locks in the moisture that you have applied to your hair with your conditioner and stylers.
Waarom olie bij mannelijke krullen?
– Reduces lint
– Prevents moisture loss
– Does not weigh your hair down if you use the right oil
– Adds shine without greasiness
Recommended: Choose a light, nourishing oil specially developed for styling, such as argan oil or a botanical blend. Apply a few drops to dry or slightly damp curls to seal and smooth them.
Extra tip: You can also use hair oil to 'scrunch' out the 'cast' (the hard outer layer of styling products) from your hair for a soft, bouncy finish.
👉 Resultaat: Your curls stay hydrated, shiny, and frizz-free – even in humid weather.
6. Protect your hair at night
During sleep, friction against your pillow can cause fuzz and knots. Use a silk or satin pillowcase or wear a satin hair cap.
Extra tip: Put your hair in a loose 'pineapple' on top of your head to protect your curls.
7. Trim regularly for healthy male curls
How often? Every 8-12 weeks, depending on damage.
Find a hairdresser that specializes in krullend haar knippen.
Home maintenance: Trim split ends carefully yourself with sharp scissors.
