Most people who are blessed with naturally curly hair are not very happy about it. The main reason is the misconception that curly hair is less manageable and messy, when compared to fine straight hair. Though there is some truth in it, the best way is to know some tips and tricks to make curly and kinky hair more manageable.
Keep your hair well moisturized
Curly hair tends to be brittle and dry, particularly if you are of African descent. The best way to keep frizz at bay is to moisturize your hair. Nourish your hair with natural oils such as olive oil or jojoba oil and give a good massage to your scalp. You can keep the oil overnight for good results. While washing off the oil, always choose non sulfate shampoo free of alcohol so that it will not rob off the goodness of oil from your hair. Deep conditioning hair mask can be used at least once a week to make your hair soft and manageable. After shampooing apply a good quality conditioner formulated for dry curly hair. Avoid shampooing on a daily basis as it will result in extreme dry look. Remember to condition your hair after each shampooing. Do not bow dry your hair, as it will make it frizzier. Blow drying once in a while is fine, but donât make it a habit. If your hair is super curly and messy, try deep conditioning treatment at hair salons.
Brush your hair
Some people with extra curly and wavy hair avoid brushing their hair since they feel that itâs a difficult task. I know about women with curly long hair who prefer to do finger combing rather than brushing. But the truth is that brushing your hair can do wonders making it more manageable. Brush everyday for two to three minutes as it will enhance blood circulation in the scalp and allocate natural oils evenly from scalp to hair. Abstain from brushing your hair when it is wet. Allow hair to dry naturally or towel wrap hair when it is wet. After the hair is dry, section hair and comb each of them with patience to get wonderful results. Discover smoother and more manageable hair by embracing daily hair brushing.
Get the right haircut
Getting the right haircut is the best way to accentuate the beauty of your naturally curly hair. Some basic rules are: avoid short haircuts and stay away from bangs. Most curly hair people avoid visiting a salon since they believe that nothing much can be done on their hair to look better. But the fact is that an expert hair stylist can suggest you the apt haircuts and hairstyles that will suit your face and hair. You will find stylists who specialize in curly hair in posh salons. Carving and slicing technique is the best way to lessen the amount of curls along with preserving the natural pattern. Get your hair spruced at least every three months to maintain the ends sparkling and healthy.
Use right products to style your hair
You should be extra conscious while selecting styling products for your hair. Never try to fight with frizzes. Always apply styling products when it is slightly wet. Apply a good moisturizing mousse or gel to detangle your hair. Moisture shield products, when applied to wet hair will help in locking the moisture for a long time. Do not use too much of styling milk, gel or mousse. Warm up a little amount of the gel by rubbing it between your palms. Apply the serum evenly from top to bottom. Anti frizz serum will help in break up the curls. Apply a good hairspray to make your hair styling. Olive oil is the best natural product that will keep dehydrated and damaged hair healthy, glossy, and shiny. Since no chemicals are involved in it you can fearlessly use it.
Make curly hair your style statement
There are lots of celebrities who have made curly hair their style quotient. Miley Cyrus flaunts wavy locks and looks sexy. Katharine Hepburn popularized tossed curls that enhanced her appearance. Taylor Swift flaunts doll like ringlets and Jessica Alba shows off messy curls in a unique way to enhance their overall appeal. Follow the footsteps of these celebrities in making your kinked hair a unique style quotient.
Even though people with super curly hair can go for hair straightening methods to make their hair more manageable, it is better to leave your hair natural to keep it healthy. After all, the opposite sex does not get attracted to you because of your hair. What is more important is to have a touchable, soft hair. It is a fact that most women with shamble, stick straight hair feel jealous of your naturally curly hair at some point. When they shell out huge sum and spend substantial chunk of time in to create locks with curling irons, you are blessed with those curls naturally. Be happy about this fact and flaunt your gorgeous natural curls.
