 It's surprising how a few curls can wholly
transform your look and adds charm to your personality ...... the world is still stirred
with Monroe's curly platinum locks! There is something so glamorous and stylish
about curly hairstyle that it's been popular for centuries and is equally
pretty trendy to date.
Beautiful hairstyle definitely makes you feel great,
more confident and contended with who you are and a decorous curly hairstyle
can be your best fashion accessory. It's lovely, spirited, striking and yet,
not much difficult to manage. Curls look good on every hairstyle - short,
medium and even long hairstyles and, on men as well.
Understanding «straight» and «curly» hair
Hair becomes curly or straight depending on
the number of disulfide bonds between hair proteins. The greater this number,
the curlier the hair. Mind that hair type can only be altered temporarily - by
forcing it into a straight or curly shape; but never permanently. So, you've to
consistently take care of your desired style of hair to retain it.
Getting Curls - little extra care serves fine
These days, most straight-haired girls feel
affection to have their hair full of curls. Women today are shifting from their
flat irons to hair diffusers or curling irons and are after the attractive
curly style that fits their look and personality. Some women are lucky enough
to have natural curly hair and those, who aren't with this luck, can get it
through other means.
There are plenty of options to add curls -
having perms, using curling irons, hot-rollers, pin-curls - and each one giving
different looks. Ringlets are another good way to have your locks curly without
much labor. But you must be cautious while deciding whether you would go for
curly hairstyle or not as it's likely to take more time to manage and maintain
than other hairstyles. But that does not mean that you have to adopt a tedious
routine; it'll just need better care only to reduce the brittleness. There are
just two things that you have to ensure - the right haircut and the care your
hair need to retain its health and style definition. Since curly hair is more
prone to frizz and drier as well as more fragile than straight hair, it's best
to use intense moisturizers or heavyweight gel to retain its vigorous look.
Most importantly, you must let your curly hair to dry naturally.
Curly hair products - don't pick just anything
Whilst caring for you curly hair, it's
vital to make use of products appropriate for your hair type and texture. That
is, to maintain your curly tresses as healthy as well as natural as possible,
you must apply the right products for the purpose. But, regardless of the type
of hair you have - soft, coarse, frizzy, relaxed, dry, oily, natural... whatever,
it's crucial to use special curly hair products that prevents breakage. Hair
products with alcohol, sodium or wax may enhance aridity and block the pores
and thus make your hair fragile and sticky. Your scalp and hair have to be able
to breathe freely to look natural. Use a deep cleansing shampoo to clean the root
and scalp to avoid harmful product build-up at the follicles. And consult you
beauty expert for assistance in finding the best product for your hair type as
there are always new products being manufactured to meet the growing demands of
beauty-conscious customers.
Using curling irons
While forcing your hair to curls, curling
irons are the best tools to put in your style, whatever you look for. But you
must keep to some guideline for safe usage and to avoid damaging your hair.
As:
- Use a curling iron with multiple settings
as it will allow you to choose the heat level and avoid the risk of burning.
- Be very cautious that you don't touch your
scalp with the iron while curling short hair.
- Curl small number of hair at a time. These
will relieve you from the need of re-curling the same section several times.
- After all, to allow the curls to set perfectly
after curling, let it cool without touching.
Tips - they care your curls
- Maintain good care of your tresses with moisturizing
products and gels.
- Curly hair should be brushed when it is wet,
after applying conditioner or moisturizer. It's fatal for curly hair to brush
when it is dry and will run the risk of destroying your curl definition.
- Do not attempt to have too frizzy
hairstyle, as it will cause damage.
- Do not use curling irons for too long or
too often as it will dry out and at times burn your hair.
- Finally, use quality curly hairstyle
products which are appropriate for your hair type.
