The Key To Styling Your Curls
Wide toothed comb:
Brushes aren’t your friend, curly girl. Whether dry or wet, brushes shouldn’t be raked through your curls, as it will disrupt the strand’s natural pattern. However, there are times you’ll need to work out some tough knots or tangles, and a wide toothed comb is the way to do it.
Plopping your strands:
Rubbing curls dry with a terry cloth towel will only lead you down the path of frizz. Skip the towel, and opt to plop instead. This technique protects curls’ natural shape while allowing your strands to dry frizz free.
Skip the triangle cut:
Ah, the dreaded triangle cut. So many curly girls fall prey to this, primarily because they happen to sit with a stylist who doesn’t know how to style their strands. Avoid this look by finding a stylist who is well trained in curl care, and asking for a style that includes lots of layers. This will remove weight and allow strands to be lifted.
Learn your curl type:
Before you get a cut, or purchase products, it’s important to identify the type of curls you have. This will allow you to figure out exactly what you need in order to make your strands look their very best.
Always deep condition:
If you’re struggling to maintain your strands, then it might be because you need some deep conditioning treatments. Deep conditioning should be done at least weekly, and will restore your curls to their natural glory.
