The specific products someone with curly hair should avoid will differ depending on their dryness levels, curl type, and damage. In general, hairstylist Haiya Eliza recommends “staying away from anything that has alcohol in it, because it can dry out your hair.” Another one of her no-nos? Intense sulfates (talkin’ to you, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate), which can commonly be found in clarifying shampoos and can strip your hair of its natural oils and moisture.
The products to avoid will also come down to your hair porosity (i.e., how porous your curls are when absorbing and retaining moisture). Low-porosity curls have difficulties absorbing heavy oils, butters, and even water itself, leading to build-up, excess grease, and limpness, so you’ll want to avoid overly rich and heavy products, opting instead for lightweight formulas.
On the other side of the spectrum, high-porosity curls tend to be naturally dry and damaged, meaning they have trouble holding onto moisture and need to be sealed with oils, butters, and conditioners (which means avoiding anything deemed as lightweight or oil-free). Not sure of your porosity? Take this Curlsbot porosity quiz to figure it out.
