Layered hair cuts are one of the most suitable haircuts for short to medium length soft curly hair. It is easier to maintain and give your curls a good structure.
Excessive hair weight is a curl's worst enemy. When your hair gets too long and heavy it tends to pull down and straighten your curls. Visit your stylist at least every six weeks. If you have thick curly hair, or your hair grows quickly, then every four to five weeks might be better for you.
The most important thing to know is that not all hair stylists understand the subtle nuances of cutting naturally curly hair. If you are searching for a new hair stylist, don't be afraid to call and ask if they have a curly hair stylist or specialist on their staff. If they say no, or act like you just asked the dumbest question that they have ever heard, hang up and move on.
Soft, cascading curls of hair, edgy waves, romantic ringlets or a la movie queens from the '40s. It's the latest curly look from the red carpet that called "Hollywood glam". If your curls are to keep their shape for a long time and look as natural as possible, the best things to use are rollers.
If this is what you looking for then learn about waving technique called the S Wave Thermal Set.This technique combined with a wave solution is much gentler and easier on the hair than a traditional perm while creating natural-looking, soft curls that last up to three months. It's suitable for those with straight or slightly straight hair types and create the perfect foundation or base for a multitude of curly hair styles.
If you have hard to manage natural curly hair and want to have straight OR soft curls and romantic waves, then you need to consider a Retexturizing service with your hair stylist. This option allow you to relax your curly hair to straight or re-create the curls in a new soft S wave hair style.
If you have already relaxed hair and you like to get back to your natural curl you can consult your hair stylist to use a more gentle relaxer like Caribbean Dream Relaxer and make the transition easier.
This Retexturizing System only works for Caucasian and Latino hair type and cannot re-establish a wave or curl on previously relaxed hair where sodium hydroxide or guanidine hydroxide chemicals were used.
However, it can overlap previous relaxers or colored treated hair. The CDR System can revert from relaxed to wave and from wave to relaxed.
To achieve the wave or curl, the CDR System can be applied as a relaxer, until a desired length, then revert to the wave.
Resist the temptation to wash your hair every day. It's fine to rinse it daily but curly hair should be shampooed once or twice per week if possible (This fact depends on your curls type, shampoo and its PH value). That's because curly hair is the result of the way that proteins in you hair called sulfides bonds (disulfide bonds) and harsh shampoo can break those bonds, so if you like to shampoo your hair regularly then use extra-mild or natural shampoo or your beautiful curls might become dry and also straighten a bit as a result. Use conditioning treatment after each wash.
Let your hair dry naturally if you have the time. If you are going to use a blow dryer then use a diffuser so your curls don't get packed down too tight.
Protect your hair in direct sun, wind or when driving in an opne car with hat and rinse your hair after swimming.
Use The Right Products for Curly Hair
Use products that are made especially for curly hair. You need shampoo and conditioner that will enhance, support and protect your style and natural curly hair rather than weigh them down.
You can spritz new life into your sagging curls by misting them lightly with water and letting your hair dry naturally. Rather than water, use shine spray to restore and refresh your hairs natural curls.
The real secret in beautiful curls and manageable curly hair style is "shine". The structure of your hair fiber is different than straight hair and does not reflect the light in the same way. The best way to deal with this is to use shine products like serums and shine enhancers or shine sprays.
