Many people love curly hair. So it’s no surprise that so many try to create the most beautiful curly hairstyle. Some are blessed with a natural head of curls, while others have to rely on styling tools and products. The most frustrating thing, of course, is when those curls lose their bounce quickly. In this blog, we’ll give you tips on how to maintain that full head of curls—whether they’re natural or created with styling tools and products.
Curls created in straight hair
There are several ways to create curls. You can use rollers, curling sets, papillotes, a straightener or curling iron, or a brush and hair dryer.
The methods that create curls that usually hold their shape best involve using a curling iron or a heat styling tool (straightener orcurling wand). Especially if you have hair that’s hard to curl or whose curls tend to fall flat quickly, these are the methods you should try. For curls that hold especially well, you’ll also need good styling products such as gel, hairspray, and—if using heat tools—a good heat protectant.Alwaysapplyaheat protectant likeBiosilk Silk Therapy before using heat styling tools.
Applying a little gel to the lengths of your hair before curling will make the curls more defined and help them hold their shape better. Hairspray is essential when it comes to creating curls. Just before you start curling your hair, spray a little hairspray onto the section of hair you’re working on. When the hair comes out of the curler or curling iron, gently “fold” the curl so it forms a small ring, secure it with a small hair clip, and then spray it with hairspray again. Don’t remove the hair clip until the section has cooled completely. Allowing it to cool in this curled shape helps the curl hold its shape longer.
For example, use CHI Helmet Head Hair Spray—this spray keeps your hair in place all day long. Remove all the bobby pins from the sections and say hello to that full head of curls! Gently run your fingers through the curls for a more natural look.
Natural curls that lose their shape
Even people with naturally curly hair sometimes struggle with curls that lose their shape, or straight strands mixed in among their full head of curls.
To prevent curls from losing their shape and strands from becoming straighter, it’s a good idea to use a styling product designed to “lock in” the natural curl. Moroccanoil Curl Defining Creamis a cream that helps curls spring to life and prevents frizz and flyaways. Apply this curl cream to towel-dried hair and “work” the cream into the curls. Set the style with hairspray to keep it in place all day.
