Have you ever looked at girls with straight hair and started hating your out of place curls? Are you tired of spending a lot of money on straightening products? Are you tired of not knowing what to do to fix your hair in the morning? Can't you wait to see that the dresses and the advertisements don't give space to women with curly hair? If you answered yes to at least one of these questions then this article is for you.
Steps
Step 1. Understand that curly hair is truly beautiful
They are special, classy, eye-catching and above all unique. Think of it this way: Do you really want to look like one of the thousand blue-eyed blonde girls out there? How boring is that? Curly hair is not well regarded by the media. You may not love them as they are natural at first, but the reason is that you don't see curly women very often on TV or in the newspapers. The first step is to accept them, understand that they are beautiful and treat them well.
Step 2. Get inspiration from famous people with curly hair, even if not necessarily natural:
Beyonce, Emmy "Rossum", Rose from "Titanic," Sarah Jessica Parker, Kate Hudson, Debra Messing, etc. They all have beautiful hair that is much more distinctive than a straight one.
Step 3. Do some moisturizing treatments, as curly hair is much drier than other hair types
Those with hot oil do wonders against dryness.
Step 4. Avoid the "triangle effect" that is created when the hair is flat at the roots and voluminous at the ends, making you look like a Christmas tree
Contact an experienced hairdresser who knows how to cut curls following the right techniques, such as pulling out and reducing volume. Cut them at the end of each hedgehog to "S." Try washing and drying them upside down and using clothespins to give more volume to the roots.
Step 5. Take care of your hair
They are delicate, don't treat them like a wig. Always use a heat protector and a moisturizing conditioner. It is undeniable that curly hair requires a lot more attention.
Step 6. Add hydration with a quality conditioner and a leave-in conditioner every time you wash your hair
Curls lose moisture easily and knot. They will never be as soft as smooth ones, that's genetics. Use a silk pillow to prevent knots from forming overnight.
Step 7. Comb and remove knots in the shower while applying the conditioner
It will be much easier this way.
Step 8. Focus on having neat and beautiful curls rather than always smoothing them out
Step 9. Try out different hairstyles if you really don't want to stay tidy
A high bun or a disheveled crop with locks to frame the face is perfect. Chignons look best with curly hair if they are placed at least at ear height. The higher you collect them, the better, but don't overdo it. Make sure the bun is not too tight and that there is volume at the roots. Classic braids and herringbone braids also look very good with curly hair.
Step 10. Use accessories
Vintage accessories such as black and white bows, clips with precious stones, pastel-colored ribbons are perfect to give an extra touch to the bun or tail. Make sure the accessories are not vulgar or low quality.
Step 11. Make a specific cut for curly hair
Bangs can only work when cut right. Tell the hairdresser to scale them to frame the face but don't cut them too short, otherwise you will have too much volume.
Step 12. Be happy that you have curly hair
You will probably never have to worry about having them fat. In addition, your hair is special because it is different every day.
Step 13. Love your natural hair, why would you have to damage it to change it?
You were born with this hair and you should accept it, love it and wear it with confidence and pride!
Advice
- Experiment with different hairstyles and cuts. Just because your hair is curly doesn't mean you always have to wear it the same way.
- Hot oil treatments work wonders.
- Keep your hair fragrant, coconut and tropical fruits are particularly well suited to curly hair.
- Do a braid before bed to control frizz and maintain hydration.
- You can straighten them and create totally different hairstyles, there are no limits to the imagination.
Warnings
- Don't compare with other girls' hair. You are unique and many of them are probably envious of your curls.
- Do not brush your hair when dry. One of the worst things you could do is comb your curls and reduce them into a bulky, shapeless mass. If they are dry and brittle, use a cream to define and hydrate them.
- Be careful with hot oil treatments as you may get burned.
