Curly Hairstyles Tip
Give your naturally wavy hair more defined curls.
To create loose curls hairstyle, use a soft shine wax on the ends, if you want it to hold go in and curl with your finger any piece that did not curl so well, use some hairspray and Voila! If you want just a little wave use the soft shine wax from root to end.
Shampoo with moisturizing shampoo designed for your hair's current type, condition and texture
DO NOT use a brush on your curly hair. Use a widetoothed comb or your fingers to detangle your curls.
To control frizzy hair, use an anti-frizz serum to smooth the frizz, add shine and condition your hair. Most serums contain silicone which sits on top of the hair shaft and protects hair from heat.
If you are only interested in loose waves and/or curls and your hair has natural waves and/or bends, you can achieve an element of texture by scrunching.
If you want to create curly hair styles on just a portion of your hair or need a last minute touch up, the curling iron would be ideal.
