All curls are beautiful, whether they’re waves, tight curls, or anything in between. But how can you empower yourself through your curls and easily bring out their full potential?
Many curly-haired people have heard that straight hair is referred to as normal, while curls are described as unruly or messy. It’s also common to notice a bit of worry in the eyes of a hairstylist when someone with curly hair steps into the salon. These experiences can make those with curly hair feel like outsiders and even ashamed of their natural hair. And that’s not okay!
Healthy curls are empowering
Fortunately, there’s now a better understanding of different hair types and the right products are available. Many have begun demanding products that support their individual curl needs. Learn a few basic techniques for styling curly hair and always keep a few go-to products on hand.
- Create a cast: Cast refers to the hard or crunchy layer that forms on the surface of the hair as a styling product, such as gel or mousse, dries. It maintains moisture in the hair and creates a light cast for scrunching. The hard layer helps curls hold their shape and prevents frizz as the hair dries.
- Scrunching curls: Once the hair is completely dry and the cast has formed, scrunching helps break the hard surface. Use a light oil or serum, take small sections of the hair, and scrunch them upward toward the scalp.
