Curly Hair Tips

Here are some great tipd tips for the curly girls! I have this tips somewhere on this site, however, reinstating them is no harm!

http://www.stylelist.com/2010/02/19/how-to-care-for-coarse-and-highly-textured-hair/?ncid=webmaildl3

If your hair is highly textured (translation: lots and lots of curls), it often has a mind of its own. One day it’s frizzing; the next it’s lacking shine.

Dry and fuzzy, untamed and unmanageable: it’s the hair you love to hate. But when it’s perfectly coifed and completely under control, highly textured hair is undeniably sexy and the envy of many.

Ted Gibson, celebrity stylist and Hair Basics experts, says to keep this hair type from spiraling out of control, it’s imperative to shampoo less. “Women with this type of hair are not too concerned with oily hair. Sometimes natural oils are better for this type of hair. Shampooing once a week helps with that,” he notes.
And because this hair type tends to be on the dry side, conditioning daily is essential. “Every time you wet your hair, use a little bit of conditioner,” says Gibson. “This will moisturize and give it the conditioning that it needs.” A deep conditioning treatment is also recommended to replenish, restore and rehydrate-all of which will help with overall manageability.

While most of us go months without a cut, Gibson is firm on this hair type getting trimmed every four to six weeks. “Highly textured hair tends to get frayed on the ends more easily,” says Gibson, making it appear untidy and undefined. As for the cut, Gibson says to opt for layers over a blunt cut. “You want there to be different variants and lengths so that you have a lot of fullness and sexiness.”

When styling very curly hair, choose products that are more moisturizing and less drying. Lightweight styling creams, shine serums and leave-in conditioners will help define the curl, control frizz and enhance shine. Styling gels are also an option (and a product many women with this hair type swear by), but make sure to look for one that offers light and flexible hold so the hair looks and feels soft, not stiff and crunchy.

After applying styling products, allow the hair to air dry or use a diffuser. Once the hair is fully dry, you can use a small barrel curling iron to further define, smooth and separate the curl.

For even more tips on styling highly textured hair, check out our video (above) with Ted Gibson, who walks you through each curl-shaping step. Or, click through the gallery below for a visual step-by-step.

Belissimo Collection Curls/Kinky Kurls – Curly Girls Rule!Updates…

New Year- New hair! I have increased the length of my old install.. I have been threatening to post pics.. so for interested parties here are the pics.

Hair Facts: I have had this hair since December, this is the second install and the install is one month old. I have several hair in this install, some of the old install, some new hair and some stray’s I had in my stash. The density is full – about 12 ounces. Length is 18” to 30” – hair reaches my lower back when stretched, in its curly states the length varies depending on how curly it is on that day. I have Belissimo collection curls – the curliest I have seen in any batch; and mixed it with Kinky Kurls — the hair has some loose curls too– it all blends well together.

Product: I use little or no product when hair is curly! The only thing I currently use is some generic Chi, and I use very very little.

Maintenance: Hair is very natural, I do not have a relaxer and it blends with my hair once flat iron. I flat iron once a week, and wear a scarf in the AM for the hair to lay down. Hair is easy and tangle free!

Please note that I am showing this install to showcase the hair, this product is not available at this time, we are hoping to get more in stock in March.
