Our curls pose special challenges because they have such vivacity. You can’t just use any old thing in our hair. And you can’t use any old hair tool and assume it won’t get caught. Tools for our hair need to be especially smooth to keep them from catching. Effective tools also need to be strong, as our hair is not typical limp and lay down hair. Our hair is spirited, and needs tools that don’t fall apart when used in springy coils.
