Hair texturizer, such as the kind made by Proline, is used to loosen hair follicles and make them easier to style. While this is usually applied to curly hair, it can also be used on hair that needs curling. If you have hair that is difficult to curl, you can apply a texturizer followed by a curler to give yourself curly hair.
Curls are as difficult to tame as they are beautiful. Few women can control their curls without the aid of a styling product. Hair gel has been the most reliable curl-taming product but it has undesirable qualities. Applying gel to curly hair keeps your curls in place but it also leaves them looking wet or greasy. Gelled hair often feels crunchy once the gel dries, giving hair a decidedly unnatural finish. Applying cream in place of gel offers curl control without the lasting, damp appearance or crunchy texture. Exchanging the products in your hair routine is a seamless switch.
Having naturally curly and textured hair can seem like a blessing until it becomes frizzy and difficult to tame. Curly hair has a tendency to become dry, which makes it prone to being brittle, causing flyaways and being tough to manage. Employing the right styling method, such as twisting, can help you have ringlets rather than a wild mane.
The curly grunge hairstyles that appeared on musicians and fashion icons of the 1990s have come back in a big way. The style works for both men and women with long, naturally curly hair, giving a casual wild-and-tousled look. Grunge hair doesn't need to be worn down; weave it into a messy braid, or wear it on top of the head in a bun and leave just a few wisps of wind-tousled curls hanging out as testament to the age of grunge.

Curly hair is prone to frizzing and drying out, difficult to style, and temperamental in wet or humid conditions. However, curly hair is versatile and adds extra glamour to many hairstyles. With good styling products, the right styling tips and a few tools, you can achieve many different styles from your curls.
Long, flowing, curly hair attracts attention because of its natural movement and length. It also serves as a style accessory, much like a long, flowing scarf or necklace. You should keep curls loose so your hair flows naturally; tight curls can bounce or frizz instead of flowing. Also, healthier hair has more natural flow and shine. Eat healthy foods high in protein, omega-3s and natural oils to make your hair as healthy as possible, trim it regularly to remove split ends and condition it to help it flow.
Having curly hair doesn't have to prevent you from having the hair style you want. Using the right tools and products and having some patience can make styling liberty spikes in your hair easy. This style requires hair that is three to six inches long, but can be made with longer hair. To make styling your hair into liberty spikes easier, you will require using a hair straightener to make your hair straight.
With its high concentration of trace minerals like silica and calcium, creamy gray bentonite clay from the Great Plains of North America and mountains of Italy is a haircare aid that, when mixed with water, helps those with naturally curly hair remove debris from unruly tresses. Similarly, rhassoul clay from the mountainous region of Morocco works to restore and condition the skin and hair by drawing out impurities and absorbing oils. You can make your own clay treatments with these clays at home in 10 minutes, to clean follicles and curls in about 20 minutes.
Adding some soft curl to your hair with a diffuser is one way to play up your style with a romantic look. If you already have curls, a diffuser can help give them more definition while drying your hair faster than allowing it to air dry. You can find diffuser attachments that fit on most dryers at your local beauty supply store or drug store.
Long, curly hair can be beautiful -- and can also be a hassle to maintain. This type of hair gets tangled and knotted easier than short, straight hair. Curls give your hair more volume and body, which means it moves more with your natural movements. Long, curly hair is especially prone to tangles because the individual curls tend to catch onto each other and become entangled. Grooming regularly, wearing your hair in certain styles and using the proper hair products can all help you keep your curly hair under control.
Choosing the right hairstyle is a major decision for the bride. Curly hairstyles are popular choices and add glamour and elegance to your bridal look. Whether you want your hair placed into an updo, left loose or styled into a half-up half-down style, curls can be incorporated into your hairstyle to create a cute, stylish do for a wedding of any formality and theme.
Curly hair is often the envy of straight-haired girls and the bane of those who possess it. Curly hair is often drier and harder to manage than straight or wavy hair. The key to making your curly hair bouncy instead of frizzy is caring for it properly and styling it correctly. There are a variety of products on the market for curly girls to make their hair bouncy and shiny instead of unruly.
Making the best first impression applies just as much to men as to women. Even though men often have short hair, it's just as crucial to take into account hair texture when caring for and styling it. Curly hair can look shiny and healthy with the right products and techniques. Knowing how to make your hair stay soft and curly throughout the day increases your confidence.
Curly, long hair is stunning, but it can be a nightmare when it comes to having serious bed head every morning. Research proves that curly hair actually tangles less than straight hair. However, curly hair is much more prone to frizz and compact into weird lumps while you toss and turn in your sleep, making your hair look like it's been in a blender all night. Practice a simple hair ritual every night before bed to escape bed head and wake up with a manageable mane.
Although full, curly hair is a classic look, it can be difficult to style. Bangs are especially challenging to cut on long, curly hair because it's easy for them to end up crooked or too short. People with curly hair generally look best with curly bangs. Bangs that are straightened can look odd and out of place, so it's wise to choose wispy, curly bangs rather than straight, side-swept ones. If you've never had bangs before, consider consulting a hair stylist. She can help you determine the appropriate bangs for your face shape and hair texture.
Curling hair with a curling or flat iron is faster than curling hair with rollers or pin curls. Irons curl strands of hair quickly by heating the strands while they are in a curled shape. You can curl your hair in less than 10 minutes with an iron, and you can maintain the curled style for hours if you use hairspray. Curling your hair is a quick way to create a new look that you can wear to formal and informal events.
The preppy look is a classic that never goes out of fashion. A preppy outfit is a statement of fashion as well as a statement of personality and taste. A preppy hairstyle is the finishing touch to a preppy outfit. If you have curly hair, style and accessorize appropriately to make your locks look preppy and proper.
Having a beautiful, curled hairstyle will make you feel elegant. However, if you’ve spent hours curling your hair for an event like a homecoming dance, you want to make sure the curls last all night long. In order to make your curls last, you must apply a generous amount of hairspray. When hairspray dries, it holds the hair strands together and makes the curls maintain their shape. Apply the hairspray to the hair once you’ve already curled your hair for the best holding effect.
Curls are meant to be free and bouncy, which is why it's so disconcerting to find that your locks are hard and crunchy after you've sprayed them with hairspray. But you can use hairspray to your advantage with a few professional techniques. Chances are, if you've come out of the bathroom with hard, crunchy hair, you're using the wrong kind of hairspray -- either a product that has too much hold for your style's requirements or a cheap, utilitarian brand that has none of the nuance of newer, more sophisticated products on the market.
Many people dream of curly hair. They spend long hours and hard-earned money trying to attain the perfect ringlets. Think of how lucky you are to possess natural curls -- you can create so many wonderful styles. For instance, if you have medium curly hair, you can create a romantic ponytail in your own home. Your cascading curls will be the envy of everyone.
Curling your hair by braiding it is healthier than using a hot curling iron or rollers, and less time consuming if you're already adept at braiding your hair. Applying a conditioner beforehand will keep hair soft and free of tangles as you braid it, and after your hair has dried. By following a few simple steps, you can make your hair soft, smooth and full of lustrous curls.
Many people desire curly hair, but this hair type is often dry and brittle, reports the Hair Care Guide website. With heat damage from hair appliances, curly hair fries and becomes rough and frizzy. The ultraviolet rays of the sun also damage hair. Fortunately, you can restore your curly hair by following a hair care routine that treats the hair gently, and keeps it moisturized.
Curly hair often lacks the smooth, glossy texture that straight hair tends to have. The cuticle, or outer layer, of curly hair is rougher, which makes the surface of the hair shaft appear dull. Curly hair is also more susceptible to split ends and broken strands caused by dryness. Sebum, a natural oil that makes hair shiny, is found in lower quantities on curly hair. These characteristics make it difficult to give curly hair a glossy appearance, but it can be done.
Curly hair is often drier then straight hair, as the shape of the follicles prevent some of the natural oils from nourishing the hair shaft. This makes wet, curly hair more susceptible to breakage, therefore it requires extra care to prevent damage to the hair shaft. To lessen the chances of damage, wet hair should be gently rough-dried after a shower, and then a wide-tooth comb can be used to brush the hair and remove any knots or tangles.
Curling ribbon is a common technique used when decorating gift boxes. You can apply the same technique when making decorations for your hair, except this time you will bake the ribbon to get it to curl. When finished, you will have little curled ribbons that look like ringlets. Use ribbons that are about 1/2 inch across to get nice, tight curls. Grosgrain ribbon works well for this project, but you can experiment with other types of ribbon.
A Maltese is a short dog that can grow really long hair. If left alone, the Maltese's hair becomes wavy and matted. If you brush all the hair out after a bath while applying the blow dryer, the hair will become silky straight. A pin brush lets the air reach the hair while you are brushing it straight. The straight hair will last until the next shampoo as long as you maintain it with daily brushing and combing.
Well-loved dolls will often need a bath to keep them clean and looking like new, but you'll notice that a doll's curly hair will straighten after being washed. If you attempt to curl the hair with a heated curling iron or hot rollers, you will risk melting and ruining the synthetic doll hair for good. There is, however, a quick and safe method to fix the doll's hair to restore the curls, volume and beauty.
If you have naturally curly hair, a diffuser is an essential hair styling tool to help make your hair look extremely curly. This multiprong, dryer attachment distributes airflow evenly, so your curls aren't straightened by a strong blast of air. Using a diffuser is a great way to give the appearance of super curly hair while drying hair quickly. To make your curls extremely smooth and frizz-free, use this tool -- and a few expert styling tricks -- to get well-defined and touchable curls.
Graduation is an momentous day in your life and you will be on display in front of hundreds, possibly thousands of your peers, family and friends. It's important it's a day to remember for positive reasons and how you look will play a big role in this, particularly since photos will be taken that will hopefully become treasured lifelong mementos. Your hairstyle, therefore, is worthy of some careful consideration before the big day; if you have curly hair that can be difficult to manage, even more care is required.
Style your hair so that it is slightly curly, which is also often referred to as wavy hair. Loose waves and curls work for numerous occasions, whether worn down for an afternoon picnic date or styled in a curly updo for a formal event, such as a wedding or anniversary celebration. Those with naturally straight hair will require more time to achieve loose waves and should carry a curling product in their bag or purse for touch-ups when curls start to lose their bounce.
Curly hair has a tendency to become dry, dull and brittle, since the hair's cuticle is rough. Using products specifically formulated for curly hair and consuming certain foods and supplements helps maintain the bouncy locks. This regimen also builds strength, prevents frizz, decreases cuticle damage and increases shine, giving the hair a smooth, polished appearance. The hair is just like the body, it needs to have a balance. By taking care of the hair from the inside out, the curls will become healthier and start to look radiant and glowing.
Everyone has a different texture to their hair. Some people may have straight and fine hair while others have thick and curly hair. Styles range from straight and sleek to short with tight ringlets. Create one of the more popular male hairstyles -- spiked hair -- with almost any type of hair. Use a bit of product, and if your hair is particularly course or curly, a blow dryer when styling the spikes.
Transform your hair from straight to curly in less than a few hours. The length of time will depend on several factors that include the length of your hair, the amount of curl and whether you begin with wet hair or dry hair. In addition, the type of styling tool you use such as hot rollers, Velcro rollers or a curling iron, will factor into the time frame. If you are a novice curler and plan to curl your hair for a day look, start early to ensure you are done in time to get out the door for work…
Women are not the only ones who want to try out a new hairstyle. Many guys like to occasionally try different hairstyles as well. A simple, yet noticeable change is turning straight hair curly. If you long for curlier hair, you do not have to have to spend hours in front of the mirror. With the proper styling products and techniques, you can achieve the curly hair you desire.
Curly hair is bouncy and unique but is also prone to natural frizziness. Frizzy hair is harder to style and can ruin your morning, so investing time into keeping your hair soft and silky is a worthwhile pursuit. Smooth, silky hair is easier to style and looks much healthier. If you have dry or damaged hair, you cannot expect to fix it overnight. However, with the right hair maintenance routine, you can slowly bring your hair from frazzled to gorgeous over the course of a few weeks.
Long, beautiful curls can be seen everywhere, from the catwalk to the sidewalk. Big, soft curls are the perfect hairstyle for work days and date nights. If you have hair extensions, you may wonder, "How do I get that style?" The answer lies in whether you have synthetic extensions or real hair extensions. Real hair extensions, just like normal hair, can be styled with heat and curling irons; however, synthetic hair extensions should never be styled with heat. Regardless of the type of extensions you have, there are a few methods for getting the big, wavy curls you desire.
If you want to add some curls to your hair but want to avoid heat damage or chemical treatments, curl your hair overnight using ribbon or cloth strips. Curling with cloth or ribbons is less expensive that purchasing curling rollers and is more comfortable to sleep on. This technique has been used for decades, long before hot irons and perming. It also aids women with curly hair in taming and defining their locks.
Side-swept bangs can make your face look longer, which is the perfect complement for women with round faces. If you have naturally curly hair, you may find that creating the side-swept look is a little more difficult than if your hair were straight. With the right tools, a little time, and some extra effort, even naturally curly hair can be manipulated into the side-swept style. Curly hair is often resistant to straight styles, but no look is impossible if you are willing to put in the time.
Hair care is part of a good grooming routine, and clean, well-styled hair can help make a person look pulled together and professional. Dull, flat hair presents a tired, listless appearance -- not a highly desired look. Many women admire hair that has body with some curl, but not everyone rolls out of bed with that effortless look. You can attain curly, voluminous hair with the proper tools and the aid of styling products.
For most people, a ponytail hairstyle is the go-to, quick fix for bad hair days or days when you have little time to fuss over yourself. But, for those of you with curly hair, getting your poofy, frizzy curls into a neat, flat ponytail can be a daunting and frustrating task. While some straightening processes like flat-ironing and relaxing can make hair more manageable, they may also cause irreversible damage to the hair strand. There are quite a few heat-free techniques you can use to tame your mane.
If you're a guy that wants to make your hair curly, chances are it's a bit too short to use a curling iron. If you'd like to create a curly style that looks natural overnight, there is a simple technique you can use without having to use a ton of hair products or any fancy curling tools. Bobby pins are very inexpensive and can help you create curly hair overnight.
Encourage naturally wavy or curly hair to form bouncy, shiny curls after your morning shower. Minimize how much you touch your hair before it's dry and take time and care to properly dry it -- either with a diffuser or simply air drying. Clips and slides help create volume at your roots to prevent your style from falling flat. If you've been abusing your hair straightener, give your tresses a rest by letting your curly side show.
It's the paradox of the ages. No matter what your hair texture, you're always looking to change up. Those with straight hair want to go wavy or curly. Those with strong wave or curl patterns opt for straighter hair. If you have tightly curly hair and just want to loosen up the curl pattern, you can forego the extreme measures of an extreme texture change. All you need are hair curlers and styling products.
Pulling curly hair into a ponytail is not hard; in fact, the look is stylish and chic when done correctly. Celebrities such as Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Anna-Lynne McCord understand that to create a fashionable style, you have to work with the curls, not against them. Whether you want a ponytail for a date night out with your partner, or you want to run around town without dealing with curls, the ponytail is the ideal hairstyle.
Curly hair is a joy to have. The curls and waves you have give you quite a few style advantages over girls with naturally straight hair. Sometimes getting curly hair to look sleek when up in ponytail styles can be challenging and you can find yourself with hair that just refuses to obey. The key to achieving smooth ponytail styles is often in the styling products you use.
Transform flat, dull hair into a voluminous wave of curls with large rollers. Rollers can be found at any beauty supply store as a "hot" roller or Velcro rollers. While hot rollers give hair a little more bounce, Velcro rollers give girls the option to curl their hair while it is still wet. Once complete, style the hair for a girl's night out or a date night with your special someone. Always spray your hair lightly before stepping out, to maintain your tresses through humidity.
Tousled curly or wavy hair, sometimes termed "bedroom" or "beach" hair, is a major trend of the early 21st century. Celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Eva Mendes and Jessica Simpson have been known to sport the look. In fact, tousled hair has become so popular that beach-hair products now exist to help those with straight hair achieve the look. A strong natural curl pattern helps the tousled look to last.
For some people, having tight curly hair is a godsend; for others, it is a curse. Wiry or spiral curls are attractive but they also tangle very easily. This leads to hair breaking off. During the night, these tangles become matted and unmanageable hair. Very curly hair is not low-maintenance, but with proper hair care techniques, you can avoid getting matted hair as you sleep.
If you're a curly-haired girl, you may long for straighter strands or just looser curls in general. You probably know about chemical treatments to relax the curls, but you may be afraid of the potential for damage to your hair from the harsh chemicals. Luckily, you do have options to make your curly hair looser without damaging it.
Perming hair changes the structure of the hair. The chemicals used, typically hydrogen peroxide, cause a reaction called oxidation. The process of oxidation is what relaxes the hair follicles enough that they take the shape of the curlers. However, too much oxidation can damage hair. Bad perms leave hair frizzy and broken, and can change the color. It is possible to repair perm-damaged hair, but it takes time.
The taper fade, a short, layered haircut worn by many African American men, is versatile and requires little maintenance between cuts. The taper fade can be cut down extremely low, giving an almost bald effect or done in different variations of fade layers. The look is best achieved when there are no visible lines to indicate where each layer begins and ends. Clipper systems and guides allow you to create the taper fade on yourself, but doing so will take patience and practice.
A pronto weave is similar to a quick weave in that you glue the weft of the weave to the head. Affix pronto weaves to the natural hair using a hair gel solution to protect the hair from the weave glue. You can wear pronto weaves for a week or more when properly cared for. Once you are ready to remove the style, undo it by washing the hair with any shampoo.
Glue-in hair weaves offer the ability to add length, depth, or color to your hair -- without having to commit to a particular style. Bonding glue is applied to the weft of the hair weave to ensure the hair stays in place. This type of extension application can be harmful to your hair and cause breaking, if not applied properly. Glue-in extensions last for a week or two, if properly cared for.
Painting hair is difficult because many people do not take the time to look at hair as a combination of shapes, but rather attempt to paint every single strand. If you look at someone's hair, you will start to notice that hair seems to fall in pieces or chunks: the bangs and every layer of hair has a different shape to it. Once you are able to understand hair in this way, you will be able to paint curly hair masterfully.
Milky Waves hair weaves are sold in a wide variety of styles ranging from loose body wave to deep curls. Sewing in your Milky Waves hair weave gives you the ability to change your look or try a new style with relative ease. Sewn-in weave styles typically last longer than bonded hair and cause less damage than bonding weaves.
Curly hair is notoriously dry and frizzy. If you have natural curls, chances are you're looking for a way to condition them so that they appear tamed, uniform, smooth and shiny. Of course, there are tons of marketed products out there that promise excellent effects -- for a price. Save your wallet by creating homemade concoctions instead. The less you use hair products with harmful chemicals, the more healthy your curls will be. There are plenty of at-home conditioning recipes you can try out on your mane.
Weaved hairstyles give you the opportunity to try different hair styles, enhance your natural hair or to hide imperfects in hair. Bangs can be added to hairstyles and can be done in a number of ways. Adding a weave to the hair allows you to create the bang look of your choice without the commitment of cutting your natural hair. Full head weaving can be glued or sewn in based on your preference.
A bob is a classic, timeless style that features well-manicured hair and is suitable for wear by children and adults. Sew-in weaves allow variation to the style with options for hair color and texture. Women with short hair can sew in a long bob weave, and women with long hair can do the opposite for short, flirty fun. Curly bobs cut for a stacked or graduated appearance require that the ends be cut at different lengths to add volume and reduce width.
Creating a low-maintenance hair style is possible by sewing hair weave onto your natural hair. Weaves provide flexibility of style, less maintenance than natural hair and give your natural hair a break from styling. Curly weave offers the ability to wear a style without the hassle of styling the hair as it is pre-curled and ready for use. In order to sew a curly weave with a straight bang, you must purchase both curly and straight hair on the weft.
Classic barber-shop haircuts were almost always tapered. Modern clipper cuts seldom incorporate tapers, but any short cut can include them. Ideal for men with thick, full hair on the sides or that guy who just wants to get an extra week or two out of his cut, tapers take the hair just above the ears and at the nape of the neck shorter. The result is a clean-cut style that hugs the head and stays neat looking much longer than non-tapered cuts.
