Having curly hair can be both a blessing and a curse. When curls look good, they look really good. Even celebrities love to have romantic curls for their red carpet events, adorned with fancy hair accessories! But a slight change in weather can quickly turn those dreamy waves into a curly nightmare.
Curly hair can require more care and attention than straight hair. No Slippy Hair Clippy, purveyor of the first and best non-slip hair accessories on the market today, shares hair care and styling secrets to keep those curly locks looking their best:
First of all, it is important to understand your hair. Compared to straight hair, naturally curly hair is more brittle and dry. Therefore, you should use alcohol-free hair products, as alcohol will only further dry out your hair.
When it comes to washing hair, some women with curly hair use it every other day and others even just once a week. This is because if you shampoo too often, it can dry out your hair and make it frizzy. Put your hair up and then wear a tight-fitting headband so your hair doesn’t fall over your face and shoulders and doesn’t get wet when you shower. Or you can just wash your hair with lukewarm water, apply conditioner and then rinse well. But if you don’t like the greasy feel of unwashed hair and must shampoo every day, use a moisturizing shampoo to hydrate your scalp.
After washing, apply the mousse to damp hair and work through from roots to ends to help control frizz. If the frizz gets stubborn, you can use an anti-frizz serum. Not only will it help control frizz, but it will also add shine to your hair. Then let your hair air dry to help minimize breakage.
Avoid using a brush to style your curly hair! It’s best to use a wide tooth comb or just your fingers to untangle your curls.
So now you know how to take care of it, now how do you comb it? The great thing about curly hair is that if you can keep it healthy and shiny, it’s perfect just the way it is. But as they say, variety is the spice of life. So updating your style will keep things new and interesting! No Slippy Hair Clippy recommends these fabulous hairstyles:
messy top knot
Curly hair can get totally unruly on humid days. For a quick fix, opt for a high bun. For an effortlessly chic look, give it a deliberately tousled effect by pulling down a few curls around your face. Apply a touch of shine serum to loose curls.
perfect waves
Even if you have super curly hair, you can still go for a bouncy bang. Using a large round brush, work through small sections of hair, keeping the blow dryer pointed down. Once dry, use a wide barrel curling iron on your hair to create loose waves. Finish it off with a trendy hair clip for a fun yet girly look!
half up, half down
This is an easy and breezy style that still looks very put together. All you have to do is gather the front two inches of your hair and secure that section with your favorite hair clip.
sophisticated bun
An elegant updo may have been the last thing you thought you would do to your wild locks. But it is possible! Blow dry your curls or use a flat iron for extra thick hair. Comb back at the crown to add volume. Using a mixed bristle brush, smooth your hair into a tight bun, then spray with hairspray to give it extra hold.
