Styled To The Nines (Styling Your Curly Hair)

Styled To The Nines (Styling Your Curly Hair)

So you just realized that it may be a problem to have the same hairstyle for both work and girls night out at the club. Of course, the Eco-gelled slicked back bun look will always be your ride or die! After all, it has proved to be more loyal to you than all of your fluky ex’s. Yet, epiphany says that adding a few new and trendy looks to your Curly hairstyle arsenal won’t hurt. If it's been a while since you switched it up- loosen out those buns and let those curls flex with one or more of the accompanying styles.

As a rule of thumb using a curl definer of your choice will help when styling damp freshly cleansed hair. At Lelenes Beauty Bar we personally love to use Devacurl Styling Cream because it doesn’t fail to deliver exceptional bounce and shine. A good product is a curly haired woman’s (or man’s) best friend! The versatility Devacurl styling cream allows is a must for easy styles for every occasion. It allows full control of your hair. For instance, for more elongation you simply run it down through your hair, you can also just shape a few curls with it between your fingers. However, in the reverse Devacurl styling cream also allows you to scrunch your curls for added definition- so scrunch it- get those curls bouncin'. When styling hair- drying preferences vary between individuals. Some opt to go heatless and not use drying implements. Air drying is thus an option that may take a bit longer but it also is a more organic option. If you'd prefer to get things done more quickly with heat- make sure to use a good diffuser.  A good diffuser should attach to your blow dryer, be gentle on the hair and create a softer finish- rather than using a blowdryer without a protective volumizing attachment. The choice of dry styling is yours as both the diffuser and airdrying have their perks.

The following are 3 eye catching hairstyles for woman who desire a loose curl look (no buns- just free flowing)

A half up and down is a sweet look! As indicated in the picture you can also smooth out curls at the top for a doubled textured look.

Spicy tapered hair looks may be an option if you have loose short curls.

Try a braid or two! After prepping and using a good styling product to help manipulate your curls- create two or three trendy stitch braids!
