National Curl Crush Day is celebrated on March 16 every year in the United States. The day encourages all curly-haired beauties to be their own curl crush. Celebrate the day by loving and showing off your natural, gorgeous curls. We have often felt frustrated with curly hair since it is more difficult to maintain curly hair instead of straight or wavy hair. Since curly hair looks so gorgeous on its own, those without curly hair often envy those who do! That’s why perming and curling are so popular! Embrace your natural curls and urge other curly beauties to do the same on National Curl Crush Day!

National Curl Crush Day FAQs
What are the four types of curly hair?
There are four different curl types — wavy, loose, tight, and coily curls.
How do you sleep with curly hair??
Curls can end up appearing tangled and unkempt if your head pressure crushes them. As you turn your head back and forth while you lay on your back, your hair may become frizzy and tangled. The best option if you really have natural curls is to lay on your side or belly.
How often do you wash curly hair?
As curly hair is so vulnerable to dryness, it needs extra attention. If at all possible, specialists recommend washing your hair not much more frequently than every day, and perhaps once a week if it is especially dry.
