Curly hair can be quite a task to handle. One day your curls will have an amazing shine and bounce to it and the very next day, it becomes dull and lifeless. Well, the common struggle with curly hair is that it lacks moisture and when your strands look all corpse-like, all it needs is some moisture to look healthy again. You can bring life back to your hair by using serums, masks or oils and if everything fails, use a curl defining cream.
