Hair Texture varies from straight to wavy, to curly to kinky... and all in between! You can change your hair texture by heat or chemically reconstructing it (but there's nothing like those natural curls!)
I love working with textured hair, and believe that products and oils are essential when styling with this type of hair. Naturally, curly hair is a little dryer and needs a daily oil at least once a day to keep your curls hydrated and FRIZZ FREE!
Many of my textured, curly haired clients come in and say things like "I don't like my curl" or "I straighten my hair every day", and this leaves me questioning why they wouldn't want to embrace their beautiful curls?! I have came to the conclusion that maybe a reason why they don't embrace their natural texture is because they're not quite sure how to work with them!
Depending on the persons curl pattern and desired look, is where products come in! I use a range of products from conditioner, coconut oil, curl creams, and even salt mixed with water for my curls. I also use an daily oil in the morning and at night to keep my ends hydrated.
A few tips I have for styling your luscious curls are 1) the diffuser attatchment on your blowdryer works wonders! It's a great way to dry your curly hair and really gets the ringlet pattern. 2) The more you scrunch your hair when its dry, the more frizz will come out. It's key to scrunch your waves when its wet with product, and either let it air dry or use the diffuser. 3) Curls do not like heat because it damages the hair pattern and literally breaks your hair after regular use. Heat shouldn't be used on your hair every day, and if used, don't forget to apply a heat protector!
Curls are making a comeback, so embrace those waves!
