Caring for curly hair is all about hydration, hydration, hydration. (Fact: curly hair loses more moisture than straight hair because of its shape.) And one of the best ways to hydrate is using a deep conditioner regularly. But how do you find the best deep conditioner for curly hair? And how often should you really use it? We did a deep dive with Moroccanoil Artistic Team member Elizabeth Bronson to get the answers to those burning questions and more.

What’s your top trick for styling curly hair?
My top trick is applying curl products to very wet hair, and I always layer products on top of one another to get the full benefit of each product. I use pin curl clips at the root after the product is applied to obtain maximum volume where needed while the hair air dries.
