Curly hair – how to maintain them

May 23, 2008

The first step to great curly hair: a layered cut. When hair is all one length, the weight pulls and flattens curly hairs, especially on top—which can give your head an unattractive pyramid look. But layers give curly hair body and movement while keeping it under control. Be sure to keep layers relatively long. Layers that are too short can make curly hairs stick up and out.

For short straight hair use 1-inch barrel curly hair iron, throughout your hair. Curly hair med pieces of hair making sure you are tucking in the ends so the curly hair does not flip out. After curly hair rub some wax or pomade on both your hands. Flip your hair over and rub your fingers through it for a loose curly hair. If you like the tight curly hair effort spray some firm hairspray until you are ready to show off your curly hairs.

For medium to long hair it might take a bit of work, but you too can get the waves or curly hairs you like. For un-layered straight hair, you can get a curly hair, but its going to be very flat on the top of your head and very heavy and curly hair at the bottom. Invest in some hot rollers at Wal-Mart; getting curly hair only takes 10 minutes in the hot rollers. Twenty minutes if you are brave and want it really curly hair. As you wrap the pieces of hair on the roller spray hairspray in a downward movement and lightly stroke the ends before rolling. You get a better-defined curly hair. Start rolling 1-inch sections from front to back, then do your sides and top. Leave them in 10 minutes and voila! Curly hairs-a-la-Carte. To loosen the curly hairs apply a small amount of some silky cream for a soft shiny finish.

Get into condition

Curly hair is often very dry, so use shampoos and conditioners specially formulated to help prevent moisture loss and breakage like some new Curl Defining Shampoo and Curl Defining Conditioner. Both will help reduce frizz by hydrating your curls without weighing down hair. Or for those extra dry days, try some new Intensive Conditioning Thermal Wrap.

Fight frizz

After washing, wring the water out with your hands but skip the towel-dry. Gently use your fingers to detangle. Apply a generous amount of some good Weightless Frizz Fighter to damp hair and then scrunch ringlets with your fingers. Snap a diffuser (a curly-haired girl’s best friend) onto your blow dryer and continue to scrunch as you dry.

For medium to long layered hair scrunch with Ice Finisher the hardest hairspray there is out there, but combine it with a soft gel or mousse to give you a softer yet holding curl. It’s guaranteed to give you curls all day. Pin some of those pieces of hair up if you plan to make it a nighttime event or hot date.
To get the frizz out of any curl use a small amount of some cream to any ends. Spray on a spray shine for a final finished look.
