For wavy hair

The use of light products such as mousse, some gel or lotions that give life to the waves is recommended.

Sulfate-free conditioning shampoo or cleanser that does not have silicone is recommended to give it body . It is important that the products add volume and eliminate frizz .

For curly hair

You can also use a sulfate-free shampoo and it is important to hydrate the curls with a special conditioner, creams or gel that provide moisturization and definition.

TO DRY IT

Instead of drying your hair as you normally do with a towel, do it with a clean shirt . This way you will not damage it and you will also have less frizz. You can also use microfiber towels that absorb more excess water and are also much softer. Put your head down, shake your hair and let the curls take their natural shape.

After washing and even with wet hair, use a curl cream to hydrate and define them. Use a wide tooth comb that goes from roots to ends. Finish with a defining gel and comb with your fingers using a little squeeze for better definition.

Hair should dry naturally according to its own time. Do not rub them, or wring them, because the consequences will be dire, it will be very hard, rough and frizzy. If it is a special occasion then choose to use the dryer. Remember that due to its thickness and density, it will take much longer to dry naturally but it will be healthier and shinier.

Steps to style curly hair

After having clean, hydrated, dry and well-groomed hair, we will teach you some tricks or types of hairstyles that you can apply to look different and renewed:

Rope bow

It is very similar to the classic bun, but it helps to make the natural texture of the hair shine. If you have little time this option is perfect, plus you only need a garter or elastic and some hairpins.

  • You must have dry hair, put everything aside and divide it into two equal parts keeping it on that side you chose.
  • Take each piece and twist it from root to tip in the same direction.
  • In the opposite direction you decided to turn, join both parts from the root to the tip.
  • Take the end of the “rope” and secure it with the elastic. The more similar it is in color to your hair, the less it will be seen.
  • Roll the rope into a bow at the base of the head, to the side, and you can secure it with the bobby pins.

Rolled band style

Perfect to do it quickly and the result is an elegant and romantic look. You need an elastic headband and hairpins.

  • Take the band and place it over the hair going under the back (where the occipital bone is)
  • Tuck the hair into the band in 3 to 5 cm sections, starting behind the ears. If you pass a section, then you put it back so that in this way the bow is formed. Continue until all the hair is in.
  • If you want you can hold that bow with the pins.

Pompadour with curls

Ideal for formal and elegant occasions because your curls will be shiny with little effort.

  • Join the hair at the top of the head and using a comb even out both sides plus the back.
  • Fastens with an elastic.
  • Put the ponytail forward and tuck the ends under and pin the curls with bobby pins.
  • If there are loose strands around the elastic, pin them in the ponytail to hide them.

Half crown braid

To show off loose hair, but styling is very easy and simple.

  • Braid a 3 to 5 cm section of your hair starting at the top of the left ear. If you do it at an angle, it can go through the entire back of your head and fasten with an elastic.
  • Repeat this step with another strand, but this time located at the top of the right ear.
  • Wrap the left braid so that it is back and around towards the right ear and pinned.
  • Repeat with the right braid: cross over the first one, tuck the tip underneath and secure with bobby pins.

How to keep your hairstyle longer

There are several factors that can cause your hairstyle to fall and lose its shape over the hours, for example rain, breeze, humidity or sun. After having spent several hours a day (or at night, depending on the occasion) is when you realize that it was no longer as it was at the beginning. For this it is important that if you used a dryer to comb your hair, at the end of drying, pass the air from hot to cold, this will allow the hairstyle that you made to fix better.

You can make your own hairspray to give your hair some texture and to make your hairstyle last longer. Just mix 20 ounces of water and a teaspoon of grained sea salt, put it in a spray bottle, and you’re done. This will give you more volume and will keep your curls in place for a long time.

Take a toothbrush (which of course you only use for that) and comb the hair that is loose. Also, you can use the same brush for your eyebrows (if they are unruly).

If you made the curls with a special machine or tongs, you should do it twice. Take a section of hair and straighten it from the middle up. Then, take that same piece of curls from ends to medium. At the end you can use a little talcum powder, since it has (among other components) cornstarch that has an absorbing power for fat.
