 The first step to beautiful curly hair is a layered cut. When hair is one length, the weight flattens curls. But layers give curly hair body while keeping it under control. Keep layers relatively long. Layers that are too short can make curls stick up and out.
To guarantee your locks look great all day long, oppose the urge to touch curls. Don’t even think about brushing them! Freshen a droopy hair with water or spray-on conditioner, then twist each curl gently into place.
Always use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Treat yourself once a month to a deep conditioning treatment. It helps control your ends.
If massive curls overwhelm your face, your stylist can open up your features by pulling a few subtle highlights through parts of curls that hit your cheeks.
After washing wring the water out with your hands. Use your fingers to detangle. Snap a diffuser onto your blow dryer and continue to scrunch as you dry.
Use a big toothed comb when combing out your wet hair. Most of the damage happens when your hair is wet.
For a curly updo use a headband to pull ringlets back away from your face. Then pin them up on top of your head with bobby pins the same shade as your hair. Let a few locks dangle down by your face.
Elude playing with your hair or touching it as much as possible. The more friction that occurs on your hair will cause it to tangle and frizz.
Curly hair is often very dry. So use shampoos and conditioners specially formulated to help prevent moisture loss and breakage like ThermaSilk’s new Curl Defining Shampoo and Curl Defining Conditioner. Both will help reduce frizz by hydrating your curls without weighing down hair.
Don’t try to control curls too much when you styling. Flowing ringlets have a natural softness that looks both feminine and modern. Just keep your hair frizz-free and in good condition.
