Curly-haired folks often straighten their locks out of frustration—but with proven techniques from experienced stylists, you can transform wild curls into soft, manageable waves.
Curly hair is prone to dryness and damage because the natural oils from your scalp don't travel down the shaft as easily as they do with straight hair. For enviable curls that last, follow these expert-recommended strategies:
1. Air dry whenever possible. Heat exacerbates dryness in curls. Let them dry naturally for best results. In a rush? Opt for a diffuser on low heat to preserve moisture and definition.
2. Choose the right haircut. A layered cut with a light gradient adds bounce and volume. Avoid cutting the top layers too short to prevent a bulky 'poodle' look.
3. Understand your hair type. For frizzy or tangled curls, use rollers—the larger the size, the softer and fuller the waves. For naturally curly hair, detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush, mist with hairspray, and air dry for effortless style.
Achieve the Perfect Look!
