A Guide On How To Style Curly Hair

By Adriana Notton

Sometimes it’s tough to decide how to style curly hair. No matter the exact texture of your locks, curls can be both a blessing and a curse. Although it may seem at times to be more a curse than the former description, there are ways to work with it to make it the best thing that ever happened to you. You’ll be surprised what you can do.

First of all, figure out if your texture is more in the region of mega-curls or if it’s more frizzy. Are your strands more like spirals and corkscrews or are they softer and more wave-like? Once you have these observations in place, you should be able to move on to the next step. Whether you’re styling your strands for Prom or a day at the beach, there are lots of things you can do.

Here are a few great ways to style your mane. If you’re searching for a look that is casual and easy to create, then do the following: First, wash your hair. Use your favorite shampoo, but instead of combing it out after you get out of the shower, do it while you’re in. As you comb, be careful not to tear the ends, as this causes the strands to split and become brittle over time.

After you’ve finished with the previous step, roll your hair into a towel when you finish showering. Leave it for a little while as you get rest and go about a few activities. When you remove it from the towel, be sure that you do not comb it again. This is very important. Apply a very mild styling mousse to the wet tresses and allow them to dry on their own. You’ll be left with casual, comfy curls that are free of frizz.

Maybe you’re looking for a more refined vibe. When it comes to getting ready for Prom or even a simple first date, casual sometimes doesn’t exactly fill the bill. In this instance, wash your tresses as previously noted, but don’t comb until you get out of the shower. Before you comb, apply a slicking gel that makes it easier to work out your tangles.

When this is done, allow your locks to dry for a time on their own. When they’re sufficiently halfway dry, use a blow-dryer and set it on the lowest setting, on a “Hot” setting. Periodically brush as you’re going through the drying process. This will prevent an accumulation of frizz. If desired, spritz some anti-frizz spray as you’re drying.

When you’re through, you’re natural curls should be shining through. Take a large-barrel curling iron and touch up the front and back of your tresses. Define with a bit of hairspray. Only comb through the top, thus preventing taking out any extra spring in the curls. You may then pin back the right or left part with a sparkly flower or add lift with a barrette or headband. It’s that easy.

With these two hairstyles, you’ll be able to make all kinds of different looks, from ponytails to braids, based on this simple foundation. Have fun with it and always remember to be yourself.
