Curly-haired girls are long for sleek locks. Still, women prefer straight manes lust over full-bodied curls. Luckily, you can have it both ways!
Let’s show you how to optimize your natural hair type, and a few quick tricks for going sleek or adding your body.
Straight Hair is the Best
The best cut is your hair on the thick side, go long. The hair weight helps thwart puffiness giving it movement and adding in a few graduated layers. When it’s finer, opt for a choppy shag or blunt bob. The styles create an illusion of fullness as noted by New Yolk City Salon specialist Paul Labrecque.
To style it you will need:
- A deep-cleaning shampoo.
- Scalp oils
- Lightweight conditioner
- Styling products
- Paddle brush
How to style it:
- Use a deep cleaning shampoo
- Apply scalp oils to make the hair feel greasy
- Follow with a lightweight conditioner on the end.
- Brow-dry with a smoothing paddle brushes and aim the air toward the ends.
- Rub shine serum between your palms then smoothes onto hair
Curling Straight Hair
To wear your naturally straight hair curly more often than not you need to choose a mid-length or longer layered cut, the layers add texture, creating the illusion of “bend” as they stack up on one another.
How to Style It:
- Start with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
- Hydrate the hair to hold its form (dry hair falls flat).
- Towel-dry the hair or prep with Mousse.
- Blow-dry the hair with a medium round brush.
- Using an over-directing technique to build volume (working in two-inch sections and lifting the hair from one side of your head to other as you dry, focusing the air on the roots).
- Finish by winding portions of hair around the medium-barrel curling iron.
- Set the curls with lightweight hairspray.
Make the Most of the Curly Hair
Note, all curly hair isn’t formed equal, and the flattering crop factors if you have loose waves or tight ringlets. Paul Labrecquesuggests stylist who specializes in cutting hair dry, to more accurately see how your curls fall and snip accordingly.
Generally, “curly hair should never be worn one length, offering the dreaded pyramid effect,”saysPaul Labrecque.
To Style It:
- Use hydratingconditioner and shampoo, lift up the outer cuticle layers of curly.
- Add extra moisture may help strengthen weak strands and prevent hair breakage.
- Add nickelize drop of styling cream for thick hair to towel-dried hair.
- Shape the hair into twists and don’t forget to let its dry naturally, or using a diffuser.
- For looser curls, complete styling by winding sections of hair around a large-barrel curling iron.
To Make Curly Hair Straight
For ease of styling, it’s recommended going to extreme lengths. Short curly hair can be blown straight in minute’s flat and long curly hair tends to straighten on its weight.
Unless you are committed to blow-outs, steer clear of midlength cuts. To make curly hair straighten, it’s little like ironing a shirt. Thus you need consistent tension, steady heat, and some moisture. You need an anti-frizz (smoothing) shampoo and conditioner.
- Work a drop of hydrating cream through damp hair
- Spritz on a heat-protectant spray
- Crank the dryer up to the maximum heat to dry the hair fast, before it curls again.
- Pull hair taut and blowing on low speed (aim air toward the ends to avoid flyways).
- Lastly apply a flat iron and a drop of shine serum.
