The fastest hair tips for all curl types.
Curly hair can be a blessing and a curse. It is beautiful but also unpredictable, stubborn and relentless. Taking good care of it can be a challenge because every curly hair girl has a different type of curl. Knowing your curl will help you maintain it healthy and ready for styling.
Besides the not washing your hair everyday tip that all girls should follow, here are some curly hair styling tips to help tame the mane for all lengths.
Short curly hair girls know that once it’s short, styling can be limited but just as fun. Sometimes, using products that’ll elongate your curls can help you with styling. Short curly hair can be anywhere from type 2A to type 4C. No matter which hair type your curls are, you can find products that keep your hair healthy and manageable.
If you love your short hair but want it to look longer for styling purposes, you should check out Garnier Fructis Curl Stretch Loosening Pudding. This product is great for elongating your curls. Using a comb instead of a brush with short curly hair is crucial. A comb will separate all your curls so they can each have their bounce but a brush will clump all of your hair together. When applying a product, use your fingers to comb through your hair as you apply.
To keep your hair healthy, try Curls Blueberry Bliss. This product is lightweight so it won’t weigh your hair down. Plus, it smells amazing! When using this, use a comb to come out your hair, apply and then scrunch, scrunch, scrunch to shape those curls.
Many tend to think that long curly hair is only associated with type 3 hair, but just like short curly hair, it’s not limited to one type. Girls with wavy hair and girls with 4C curls can also have super long hair. Remember, shrinkage is real!
For long dry curly hair, check out DevaCurl Styling Cream for styling. This product is great for adding moisture to your hair without leaving it too oily or crunchy like gel tends to do. Play around with it while styling your hair and you’ll see each curl take its spiral, bouncy form.
Thin curly hair is usually associated with type 2 or 3 hair but it also falls under the type 4 category of curls.
A good tip is to comb or brush your hair upside down. Doing this adds volume to your hair, making it fuller and stylish. A diffuser is also very helpful because it boosts your curls for a bouncy and full effect. If you don’t have a diffuser, put your fingers in your hair close to your scalp and give your hands a little shake. This will help you get the same volume a diffuser achieves. Each girl will have a new and energized bounce.
Thick curly hair is so beautiful, but it can also be a challenge to handle. It is usually very frizzy and it tends to tangle up underneath the layers of the hair. Styling for thick curls can also be very time-consuming. For easier and faster styling, try the LOC method. The LOC method consists of leave-in conditioners, oils, and creams that refresh and revitalize your hair strands.
Curly hair is real work! It can be hard to control the curls and style it as you envision it but a good way to avoid the daily struggle of controlling the stubborn curls is by sleeping with your hair in a pineapple. When you wake up, shake out your hair add some moisturizer and you’ll be good to go!
