Curly hair isn't easy – one ounce of humidity and poof! It's goodbye style and hello frizz. Find out how to get soft, defined and bouncy curls that last.
It's not easy being a curly girl – one ounce of humidity and poof! It's goodbye style and hello frizz. But having curly hair doesn't equal problem hair -- check out our top four tips for maximizing your curl power.
- Don't Go Nuts with the Hair Products
When it comes to curls, it's all about the right balance of products. Oftentimes, the nature of twisty, curly hair prevents the scalp's natural oils from traveling all the way down the hair shaft, which can result in an oily scalp and dry ends. That's why it's so important to focus shampoo on the scalp to clean oil and conditioner on the ends for some added moisture. Add Pantene Oil Replacement to your regimen for an extra dose of smoothness and definition and to help soften the ‘rough micro-edges' in the hair, helping your curls look soft, defined, and chaos-free.
- Try Air Drying or Use a Hair Diffuser
Curly girls can get away with completely skipping the blow dry and simply air-drying. Besides the fact that it minimizes the risk of damage, air-drying is great on those hot summer days when all you want to do is smash your blow dryer into a million pieces. If you do go for an air-dried look, try using a non-crunchy mousse, then twist hair into pin curls on the top of your head. By gently twisting hair around the finger and pinning it to your head to dry, you'll get those perfectly bouncy ringlets with minimal effort. If you're in a pinch and have to blow dry (hello, #lateforeverything), use a diffuser, which will spread heat evenly and minimize frizz.
- Preserve Your Blowout with a Twist
To extend the life of your blowout, twist your hair into a rope braid before you go to bed. The twist will keep your hair from going completely frizzy overnight and help extend the life of your blow out. To get a rope braid, divide each pigtail into two parts, twisting one section to the left and the other section to the right. Then, twist the two sections together, creating a sweet rope braid.
