Curly Hair Styling Tips
 
  • For curly hair, choose a hairstyle that is easy to maintain and allows you to just wash them and be on the go. You may not be able to shell out a lot of time every day, to style them properly.
  • Braiding your curly hair is the best way to keep it neat and untangled. Curly hair can be efficiently toned by braiding.
  • Hair accessories like headbands are also a great way to style your curly hair. Headbands help smooth out the curls and secure them neatly. Go for headbands with embellishments and beads, for a trendier look.
  • A haircut with layers looks very elegant on curly hair and also grants it a stylish look. French twist can also be tried on curly hair, especially on formal occasions.
  • You can also go for temporary straightening or pressing to give a different look to your curls. However, take care not to do it very often, as it will damage your hair.
  • Twist your hair into a bun, after applying an anti-frizz conditioner and leave it overnight. Untwist it the next morning and you will have great curls to flaunt.
  • Visit your stylist at least four times a year to trim split ends and avoid the use of razor in layering your hair, as it contributes to more split ends.
 
Hair Care For Curly Hair
 
  • Curly hair needs more moisturizing than straight hair. Use shampoos and conditioners with moisturizing ingredients. Gently rub the moisturizing conditioner in your hair and massage for about 2 minutes.
  • Shampoo should be applied twice a week on curly hair. Once a month, deep conditioner should be used. Using a leave-in conditioner daily or alternately on your hair will also help.
  • People who have curly hair should avoid using hairdryers. Letting the hair dry naturally will prevent frizz. Curly hair should not be brushed harshly with a comb or rubbed with a towel. Pat or dab curly hair with towel, to soak excess water.
  • You can use styling products specially designed for curly hair, like special texture serums and creams, available in a large variety in stores. Application of these products will help you avoid hair frizz.
  • Use wide toothed combs to brush your curly hair and avoid combing it when wet.  
  • For styling your curly tresses, you need to look for a hair stylist who specializes in styling curls, as it is not an easy job.
  • Avoid touching your curly hair as much as possible, because the more friction that occurs on your hair, the frizzier will it get.
