Curly Hair Tips

Hair is mainly composed of keratin, a protein, which grows from a sac called the follicle. Hair is curly or straight, depending upon the number of disulfide bonds between hair proteins present in the hair shaft. If your hair is naturally curly, relying on the curl pattern you may opt to go with curls from the hairline down to the ends.

To style curly hair straight takes a little more attempt. First shampoo your hair and relocate tangles. Shampoo with moisturizing shampoo casted for your hair’s current type, condition and texture. If you prefer, wash with conditioner only or a diluted formula that works perfect for you. A good routine to care for your curly braids would be to shampoo your hair every other day.

Always use a light weight leave-in conditioning detangler and a broad toothed comb on wet hair to deal with stubborn tangles. Apply a paddle brush and a blow dryer with a concentrator. Straight blow dryer down the hair shaft from roots to ends to get hair direct with the added bonus of extra shine. Use a curling iron to clarify the curls if you wish. Finish with a bang of shine spray and hairspray to block humidity and add shine.

A good cut is very important to manage curly hair. Avoid the use of thinning shears or razor cutting. Thinning shears crush the ends of your hair and razors slice the edges giving split ends a place to begin. If your hair is too thick ask your stylist to layer it to remove bulk and ameliorate manageability.

Longer layers normally work best on curly hair with a larger less defined curl and can be very flattering when dried naturally or blown dry. Attach a long finger diffuser to your blow dryer. Keeping fingers and hands out of hair as much as possible (to protect curl) separate remaining strands into personal 2″ sections. Using the blow dryer on a medium, low to medium heat setting, use the fingers to lift and adorn natural curls. Separate long sweeping bangs from rest of hair.

Apply a small glop of straightening gel to the bang and top of the hair line area. Don’t use brush and if possible let it dry naturally. Try to bunch the hair in handfuls and keep the heat flowing between your fingers through your hair. After it’s dry let it stay and cool for a minute, then flip it up.
