The most common problem with curly hair is its unruly nature
but the struggle doesn’t have to be so real.
With a few easy steps, you can achieve voluminous,
frizz-free curls in no time!
Hi, I’m Vibhuti and I’m going to tell you how you can
enhance your curls using these simple steps!
Curly hair tends to get extremely dry which leads to
excessive frizziness and breakage.
Washing curly hair the same way as other hair types is a big no-no
Here’s how you need to wash it right! The first thing
you need to keep in mind is to avoid using shampoo that contains
sulfates as it strips your hair of its
natural oils and leaves it dry and brittle.
This can lead to breakage. Instead, use a mild shampoo
that has protein and natural cleansing ingredients
like neem, bhringraj, and kelp.
Next is to wash your hair only twice a week.
This will help retain your hair’s natural moisture and add
definition to your curls, banishing any frizziness!
When washing your hair, start by rinsing it
with lukewarm water and gently massaging your scalp.
This will rinse out all the dirt, excess oil and
unwanted build-up from your hair. Follow it up with a
gentle hair cleanser focusing only on your scalp. This step
will prevent your ends from drying out and looking crunchy.
Conditioning your hair is something you should never skip.
Well-conditioned hair will not only look shiny and
hydrated but also feel soft and healthy.
Always squeeze out excess water from your hair before
applying conditioner to avoid diluting the product.
Start by taking a generous amount of product on your palm
and apply it starting at the ends, moving upwards till
the mid-lengths of your hair.
Avoid applying conditioner to your scalp as it can
leave your crown looking flat and oily!
If your scalp is dry, gently lay the product 2 inches
away from your roots.
This will moisturize your hair and help you achieve
the right volume!
While the conditioner still sits in your hair, take a wide tooth shower comb
and detangle your hair thoroughly. This will get rid of
any knots and also evenly distribute the product
throughout your hair. Always start at your ends and
work your way upwards to avoid pulling and breaking!
Let your hair rinse under cool - cold water for less than a minute
to take off any excess product!
Gorgeous, voluminous curls can be achieved using simple
tips and tricks, without putting your hair through the heat damage!
Start scrunching your hair by gently draining
off excess water with a microfiber towel or a
cotton t-shirt. Prep it with a curl cream or a
gel to ensure your curls hold their
shape and don’t get frizzy. Apply a decent amount
starting from the tips moving towards the mids of your hair
in a combing motion, evenly distributing it.
But make sure you don’t apply too much product as it can weigh down
your hair and prevent you from achieving the right
volume and bounce!
Always choose a comb according to the density of your hair.
If you have extremely thick hair, use a wide-tooth comb
with thick bristles. For medium to thin hair, I would
suggest you use a hairbrush with thin bristles!
Once you’ve picked the right comb, part your hair in whichever
direction you want it to dry.
Then section your hair into 4 parts and start combing
your hair away from your face.
Follow this step for all the sections of your hair and let it air dry!
If you want that extra volume around your crown, simply
take flat hair clips and clamp them to your roots,
lifting up before pinning them!
Letting your hair air dry is extremely important as it
can provide the ultimate definition!
Once it’s dry just softly open up your curls and
you are ready to step out the door feeling fabulous!
Curly hair can be difficult to maintain but if done the right
you can have gorgeous healthy curls all around the year!
I hope these techniques help you embrace your natural curls
with more ease and confidence!
And until next time stay tuned stay Glamrs!
