Curly Hairstyles: Embracing Your Curls
“Curly Hairstyles”
Got a curly hairstyle? Don’t hate it…embrace it! So many of my clients want to work against their natural curl and blow it out then flat iron it over. Instead of putting in the extra legwork to do so, why not just enhance your curly hair instead.

To enhance your natural curl, follow this video for a great tutorial from Tamara from Ford Models on how to work with naturally curly hair and it gives great product suggestions as well.

• Step 1: When beginning any curly hair style, use a leave in conditioner and comb through with a wide tooth comb to decrease tangles. I’m a big fan of the Icon brand Sultry Leave-In Conditioner because it’s lightweight and good for just about anyone.
• Step 2: Tamara uses Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious product to scrunch into her hair while damp. This particular product is one of my personal favorites! Do the same thing using about a nickel size amount of product for shoulder length locks.
• Step 3: She also suggests using a diffuser attachment when drying hair. This is a crucial step if you are blow drying curly hair (versus air drying) because the diffuser attachment will help to ‘diffuse’ the air out of the hair dryer so that you don’t blow out your curls by directing the hot heat on one specific area. I also like air drying curly hair, but if you choose to air dry, remember to not touch your hair until it is completely dry or you run the risk of frizz.

It’s getting too hot outside to worry about fighting your curly hairstyles, so instead embrace the waves by using the right products for your hair and these styling tips for a perfect curly hairstyle every time!
