How to style curly hair: photos and videos

Without a high-quality, good haircut, making a beautiful styling is problematic, especially if you have unruly hair. Visit a hairdressing salon with an experienced hairdresser who specializes directly in cutting curly hair. He will advise you on the most practical hairstyle for styling and professionally execute it, taking into account the structure of your hair.

You should not cut your hair too short, as long curly strands look most impressive, on the basis of which you can create a large variety of hairstyles. In addition, the weight of long hair straightens the curls a little, making them easier to style. It is best to give your preference to a multi-level haircut. It will allow you to pacify unruly curly hair, which is too bulky. This will make your daily styling easier too.

In addition to a suitable haircut, a prerequisite for a beautiful styling is regular and comprehensive care for curly hair.

Do not blow-dry wet hair. Let them dry first and only then can you use them. Use a diffuser to shape your curls. Otherwise, direct the air in the direction of hair growth. This style smoothes the hair scales and also prevents damage to them.

But it is best to dry curly hair naturally. After shampooing, wrap it in a towel and wait for the strands to dry about 85%. Then remove the towel and air dry them. During this time, you can apply a moisturizing spray or leave-in conditioner to them. When combing curly hair, it is helpful to drip a few drops of Ylang Ylang or Lavender essential oil onto the brush.

Curly hair should not be shampooed more than once a week.

Many curly hair owners prefer straight styling. But making them perfectly smooth is not an easy task.

There are two ways to straighten curly hair:

• natural;
• mechanical.

In the first case, you will need a large round brush and a hair dryer. Dry your hair 85% under a towel, then roll each strand around the brush and pull out under the hot stream of a hair dryer. Remember to apply a heat protectant to your hair before styling. A jet of air should be directed from the roots to the ends, which will give your strands a great shine.

If you do not have a round brush, you can use a simple folk method. After drying your hair almost dry under a towel, comb it and tie a tight, smooth ponytail at the back of your head. Walk like this until they are completely dry, from time to time smoothing out individual protruding strands. After a few hours, your hair will be straightened without the use of styling products. You can also use a braid to create crisp waves.

To mechanically straighten curly hair, you will need an iron. When choosing this device, consider its quality. The plates must be made of ceramic material. In addition, the ironing temperature must be regulated. So, blow dry your hair with a hair dryer or 100% naturally. Next, apply a thermal protective agent to them.

After that, take one strand, comb it well and pull it out with an iron. The strands should not be too thick. The less frequent they are, the more carefully you can align them. Finish styling with a hair fixer.

To style curly hair correctly and beautifully, also use the following guidelines:

• when straightening hair mechanically, set the iron to medium or low heating mode;
• use a brush made of wood or a wide-toothed comb;
• when styling your hair, comb the strands with your fingers, this will form beautiful curls;
• use headbands or headbands – this will tame unruly hair;
• use special thermal protective agents, sprays to facilitate combing the strands;
• Use a light hold spray or a small amount of wet-effect gel / mousse to secure curly hair.
