Rotterdam is known for its modern skyline, creative vibe, and diverse community – and it’s also becoming a hotspot for curl lovers. Whether you’re rocking tight coils, bouncy ringlets, or loose waves, finding the right stylist can make all the difference. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best curl specialists in Rotterdam and the surrounding area.
How to Care for Your Hair by the Coast
There’s something magical about the beach: sun on your skin, sand between your toes, and the salty breeze in your hair. But if you have curls, you know that coastal air can be both a blessing and a challenge. The mix of sun, salt, and humidity often brings out texture and volume – but it can also leave curls dry, frizzy, or tangled.
Here are some simple tips to enjoy your seaside days while keeping your curls happy:
1. Protect before you play
Before heading out, coat your curls with a lightweight leave-in conditioner or natural oil. This acts as a shield against saltwater and UV rays.
2. Embrace the salt – but rinse it out
Sea salt can enhance curl definition, giving you that “beach waves” look. The trick? Don’t leave it in too long. Rinse your hair with fresh water after a swim to avoid dryness.
3. Keep a curl-friendly kit
Pack a wide-tooth comb, a scrunchie (instead of tight elastics), and a hydrating spray. A quick refresh makes all the difference after a dip in the ocean.
4. Love the breeze, tame the frizz
Humidity by the coast can make curls expand. A light gel or mousse helps define your curls without weighing them down.
5. Go easy on the wash
Too much shampooing strips natural oils – especially if you’re in and out of the sea. Co-washing (using conditioner instead of shampoo) can be a game-changer after beach days.
6. Aftercare matters
Treat yourself to a deep conditioning mask once you’re back from a beach trip. It restores moisture and keeps your curls soft and bouncy.
✨ Pro tip for coastal cities like Rotterdam: The salty air adds natural texture – so embrace it! Sometimes your best curl days are the ones you don’t over-style.
