Holiday Curly Hair Tips

Curly Hair Tips

If you want to dazzle and go curly hair. . . then go REALLY curly hair!

So what’s the difference from ordinary hair curls and curly hair that will turn heads?
“Holiday Curly
Hair Tips”
It can be summed up in just two words . . . hair product & styling technique . . . oops, and a little time and patience. If you weren’t born with curly hair it will take a little work, but then again, for that special holiday bash, where you want to look smashing . . . it’s worth it!

So here’s how to achieve this one, or something like it, seeing that this is neither your hair type nor your hairstyle. It’s a good idea to give yourself a practice run, even if its only on part of your hair, it will ease the learning curve on achieving that fabulous look when the big day arrives. That includes everything from, how much time to allow to how much hair care product to use. If your hair type is heavy and stick straight, this hairstyle is not for you, however, watch for my other “Holiday Hair Style” posts.

All other hair types, here’s how to achieve this look;

Shampoo and Dry — If you want more volume to your hair, use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner, like Matrix Amplify Shampoo. Otherwise use a good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Graham Webb is another product line I like so I’ll stick with recommendations from this line, but you can use a similar product type. That would be a Thermal spray or Wax pomade in a product line you like.

What you need:

  1. Section your hair down the middle and then clip up.

  2. Drop down approximately one inch wide horizontal sections at a time starting at the nape of the neck.

  3. Spray a one inch section at a time with, Graham Webb’s Heat Response Soft Finish Spray, and curl using a spiral-wrap technique.

  4. Alternate the direction you spiral each curl, it will give the end result more interest and volume. If you have two sized irons, alternating these will give an exaggerated look of fullness.

  5. Repeat this process till done.

  6. Finish the hairstyle by using your fingers to work a bit of the Wax Pomade into the strands. This step will provide definition and separation to your curls.

  7. If your hair is too long on top to naturally get the height as shown in this picture, lift sections and pin underneath on top of your head. It will give height and a more curly look to your entire head.

Try a pretty little sparkle in your curly hair and have some. . . Happy Holidays!

Buy the Discount Hair Products

For regular readers of this space you might remember a very controversial article hair care product labels . . . are they truthful? which stirred up a lot of fuss in the discount hair products industry. I keep running across articles that reinforce my long standing claim that the hair care industry really stretches corporate ethics by charging vastly different prices for virtually the identical hair product marketed in different bottles or with a different label.

“Salon Only brands
Discount Hair Products”

They keep trying to sell us this baloney about “Salon Only” hair product brands. Fact is that virtually that a trip down the discount hair products isle at your local Wal-Mart or Target store can save you up to 75%, especially if you start ignoring the front of the bottle and start paying attention to the back where the fine print is. You will usually find an identical chemical makeup as the pricey “Salon Only” hair products. Usually the discount hair products contains just as good a product as the most expensive.

Here is another article that supports my theory.

“

I reluctantly purchased a $30 Kerastase hair masque for my dry, brittle, broken ends. After using this masque every week, I did notice that it softened my hair, but it really wasn’t worth the high price. I noticed that Kerastase was, in fact, a L’Oreal discount hair product, so I headed to the nearest Walgreens to find a L’Oreal conditioner that was comparable. Sure enough I found that L’Oreal’s drugstore brand called Smooth Intense had a masque for $4.99 with the same ingredients!

Curly Hair Relaxer – New Curly Hair Products



Hair Relaxer

Curly Hair, Frizzy Hair – Here is New Hair Relaxer to Consider

Everybody loves curly hair except those who have it naturally. It’s really kind of funny when you think about it. Millions of dollars are spent in hair salons each day on perms, and in the hair care product isles, yet all you curly head and frizzy hair types are doing just the opposite . . . buying hair relaxers and curly hair products.

“Try this hair relaxer I’ll post your review as an article”

What those of us who do not have naturally curly or frizzy, kinky type hair don’t realize it but it can be terribly boring for those who are naturally curly hair. If we are tired of a curly or kinky perm, we can just wait a few weeks for it to relax naturally. But nothing short of a hair transplant or wig can help those with naturally curly.

So I try to pass along any help that I can find for those of you who have natural curls. I have not read any reviews about this hair relaxer product, so I pass it along for what it is worth. If any of you try this curly hair product and would like to write a review I’ll post your review as an article.

Curlaway Curl Relaxing Gel also offers total styling freedom because only a small amount of curl is relaxed with each application. So hairstyles from natural, loose curls, to ringlets, to big, bouncy curls and smooth waves are all possible with continued use of the hair relaxer product. Buck says, “The more you use Curlaway, the straighter your hair becomes. Best of all, the hair relaxer effect is reversible – just stop using Curlaway when you have the look you like, or keep using it for silky-straight hair. Curlaway contains no harsh chemicals and relaxes all hair types.”
