You all heard this career advice in general: Dress the part, look the part. Dress like you have the job you wanted. Aside from the sleek office clothes and neat make-up that compliment your best features, let us not forget our crowning glory: the hair. As a woman on the roll, you want to keep your hair short. It’s cool in hot weather, it’s less trouble in the morning and uses less products.

Unfortunately, for women with curly hair; the locks can be troublesome and through the years have formed a love-hate relationship. You love it for being unique yet you hate it for frizzing at a very bad time (like that time you need to have your school picture taken).

The Catch on Curls

Every person with curly hair has a unique curl pattern. When choosing a hairstyle, you’ll have to keep this in mind. Not a lot of people understand curl patterns. It’s up to you to be familiar with your hair curvature to avoid embarrassing styles and cuts. Remember, the curl’s width doubles with shorter hair.

The secret is to find just the right length and compliments with your curl pattern. Layered cuts look good on medium to short hair length. This is easy to maintain and gives a good hairstyle structure on almost any face.

Find a Hair Stylist that is Really Meant for You

You can get good referrals from strangers who got a great hairstyle with the same texture as yours. Trust me, they’d feel flattered to be asked who their stylist is. Don’t just ask about the hair salon, you have to be specific. After you meet up with the stylist, you’ll have to “consult” with them or simply ask them some deceptively innocent questions that will screen if they can handle your hair or not.

First, check out their locks. There’s an immediate set of gold points if it’s curly and looks great.

Second, is the time you interview them. Ask them if they have any special or advanced training for curly hair. There is such a thing as Curly Hair Specialist or Stylist. However, some of the great hairstylists may not have this higher form of education but still has enough experience with curly hair to make up for it.

Then set up this trick question. Ask them what they would think of you getting a razor cut. Now thinning shears and razors is a no-no for curly hair because they create a major mass of frizz. If they do consider that, end the conversation. You and he or she has nothing to say to each other.

Next, is to ask them how they are going to cut your hair. Are they going to cut it wet or dry? General rule to all hairs, wet lengthens, dry shrinks. Cutting curly hair wet may not work out too well with a stylist that doesn’t have much experience.

First impressions last and you don’t want your first impression to be the description of Hermione Granger’s hair during the first to fourth Harry Potter books. So how do you style those short and curly locks?

HOW TO STYLE:

This is a hairstyle that is chic, stylish and adds dimension to short wavy hair. The layered bangs frame the face yet keeps away from the eyes.

• Add your styling product of choice on damp hair. Blow dry with a diffuser while running your locks with a round brush.
• Use a small curling iron at the back section of your head.
• For big waves at the front, use a large curling iron.
• Wait for your curls to cool before running your hands through the curls to break them.
• Spay with Medium hold hair spray to keep the hairstyle in shape.

FACE SHAPE

This hairstyle works great with oval faces. The side parted layered looks also frame the broad forehead of square and heart faces. It even adds width to some long faces. With the right length of bangs this can also lengthen round faces. This hairstyle works with any range of hair density within fine to thick.

HOW TO CARE

• It’s okay to rinse your hair daily but try to shampoo it at least 1 to 2 times a week. The number will depend on your type of curl, your shampoo and its PH value.
• Even if you have short hair, the weight would pull down and loosen the curls. Use weightless conditioning after every wash to maintain those bounce and spirals

HOW TO STYLE:

There are many pixie cuts for curly hair. In here is a classic pixie for the naturally curly. Cropped short around the ears and neck, the hair is left to curl soft around the forehead. It boasts of a cutting edge and daring look. This hairstyle reflects your daring individuality with style.

• Run with curling cream or mousse through your locks. Scrunch them lightly to encourage the curls.
• Let it air dry or if you don’t have time, spray shine spritz for added moisture before you blow dry with a diffuser.

FACE SHAPE:

A heart shaped face will win the most with this hairstyle. It frames the wide forehead, compliments the cheekbones and delightfully let the eyes flow to the narrow jaw line. If you have naturally curly hair with fine texture, go for this one.

HOW TO CARE:

• Curly hair doesn’t reflect light the way straight hair does, making it look dull sometimes. Using a shine spray, serum or shine enhancer can do the trick.
• If you have time, dry naturally to balance out the moisture in and out of the hair and to avoid clothe friction and chance of being damaged by heat. Use a shine spritz for added moisture.
• Humid weather is the ultimate frizz bringer, causing inner layer dehydration of the hair shafts. For this problem, you can use moisturizes (which is different from conditioners).

HOW TO STYLE:

The long hair length in the nape and ears keeps the curls and softens the pixie cut and gives it a more feminine look. Chic and charming, be memorable in meeting people with this pixie cut that is one of a kind.

• Comb through your wet hair using your favourite curling products.
• Manually scrunch up your curls in a gentle motion.
• Leave your hair to air dry or blow dry with a diffuser.

FACE SHAPE:

This hairstyle compliments all types of face shape with any type of hair texture. Just make sure your hair is from the range of medium to soft.

HOW TO CARE:

• Shampoo can be harsh for the hair. In the case of curls, they can break the protein bonds (disulfide bonds). Try using natural, extra-mild and sulphate free hair goo for your locks.
• Use microfiber towel or a tank shirt when drying your hair. Gently squeeze the hair upward in sections to avoid the friction. Terry towel clothes are too course for this hair type.

HOW TO STYLE:

Light up your presentation (of self) by bringing something new to a classy bob.

• Before styling, wash your hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or simply use a moisturizer.
• Throw in a cocktail of your favourite gel, hair oil and curl crème.
• Comb the concoction through with a wide tooth comb.
• Finally, you can blow dry your hair with a diffuser only half-way through. Leave it to air dry after doing so.

FACE SHAPE:

This style will look great with any face shape. Just make sure the density of your hair is from medium to thick when getting this hairstyle.

HOW TO CARE:

• If you are planning to put highlights on your hair, opt for thicker highlights. Thicker highlights cover more individual strands of hair. But you shouldn’t do this if you’re going to straighten your hair someday.  For darker colors, choose demi-permanent tones. Besides the added shine, the demarcation line wouldn’t be so noticeable when your hair grows out.
• If you don’t have time, blow dry with a diffuser with high heat at the bottom and middle layer and low heat at the top. For hair that is very sensitive to frizzing, dampen a cloth with style spray, place it on top of the outer layer and blow dry with diffuser underneath.

HOW TO STYLE:

Just because you’re in the office doesn’t mean you can’t wear your hair loose –even if curly hair has tendency to frizz. Avoid extra fullness of a long bob by shaping your hair from roots to tips.

Styling is almost the same as that of the Voluminous Short Bob.

• Wash your hair with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner or simply use a moisturizer.
• Mix your favourite gel, hair oil and curl crème.
• Using a wide tooth comb, apply the mixture evenly.
• Half-way blow dry your hair with a diffuser before leaving it to air dry.

The wind causes friction (I know you love the Titanic-y feel of the wind blowing through your hair but let’s keep it in moderation) so roll down those windows. Don’t forget to rinse your locks after swimming.

HOW TO STYLE:

Curls on top are given volume to fall down with style on forehead. Look practical and chic with this very curly and very short hairstyle.

• Apply frizz-controlling products on hair.
• Let it air dry or if you’re on a hurry, you can blow dry with the coolest setting.

FACE SHAPE:

Round faces will look great with this hairstyle that has a voluminous top. This hairstyle also emphasizes the special shape of heart faces. Hair must be from medium to very curly.

HOW TO CARE:

There are two causes of frizz: dehydration and friction. Curly hair is naturally dry and has the tendency to rise up to get the moisture in the air, thus the bad hair days. Here are some things you can do to beat the frizz:

• Sleep in pillowcases made from satin. Cotton pillowcases absorb moisture even from hair and causes friction. Plus, satin is smoother (you have no idea how much toss and turn at night).
• Use moisturizers at least once a week (different from conditioners).

Curly hair tends to dry and often show a great need for care. Loops are not glued to the scalp as well as hair and therefore have limited contact with sebum. Looping natural hair is also the top layer resulting in a less uniform scalp. Therefore, curly hair is ultra sensitive on harmful influences. All these are reasons to treat your curly hair with care and attention while it is still wet.

Shampoos and natural lipid such as Shea butter, jojoba oil or macadamia oil covers every hair with a shiny protective film. This way your curls will retain their structure.

After bath, wrap a towel around your head and gently dab the hair to absorb water. Never rub hair with towel strongly to dry. To manage your curls would be wise to use a comb with rare teeth. Curly hair if brushed, gets a look devoid of vitality and a much too high volume. After bathe, do your hair with your fingers. Thus, the loops will be defined.

Styling products that you use should also be specially designed for curly hair.  After your bath, apply a hand of foam throughout hair and then dry it with the hair dryer, regularly walking your hand through it.

Olive oil. Once a week, before bathing your hair, apply olive oil on your it and leave it for 30 minutes to act. Loops will be defined and much brighter.

16 FABULOUS SHORT HAIRSTYLES FOR CURLY HAIR

Short hair styles for curly hair

Short hair styles for curly hair – Get it here!

You may wonder why some women have natural curly hair and others just use hair product to get curly hair but the answer to this is very simple, natural curly hair grows out of curved hair follicles that have a much flattened oval cross section and the degree of curliness can be determined by the amount of disulfide bonds between the hair proteins.

However, if you have this kind of hair just know that it can become dry, it’s hard to manage, and often frizzy but still it also has its advantages like split ends are less common with curly hair. The lady featured above has short curly hair which flatters her oval shaped face making her very beautiful and I think you should also tryout this style because it will make you very comfortable and its manageable since it does not fall off all over your face and back, but remember to always use the right hair products in order to get good results.

HOW TO STYLE

You can see that this lady has simple but very beautiful curls all over her head and you should also know that having short hair is really fun and freeing, but you will also use less hair products to maintain your short curly hair compared to long curly hair. This style will probably match your oval face shape and that light skin tone in case you’re that type person. If you want to know how to style this particular curly hairstyle then follow the steps below;

• Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner to wash your hair; you should wash it thoroughly but carefully so that you don’t damage your curls and at least wash hair 2 to3 times a week but not daily because it becomes very dry and finally breaks up.
• Blow dry hair using a larger round brush; this type of brush will help to detangle your hair very well and after brushing your hair, apply some styling products to your dried hair which help during the curling process.
• Use a tiny curling iron to create little curls all over your head; the curling iron will create many good looking curls in your hair which will make you look very beautiful and elegant.
• Pass your fingers through the curls gently; this will help to separate and break curls up and you will notice that this will actually add more fullness and beauty those curls.
• Use firm hold hairspray; spray it all over your hair in order to achieve firm good looking and shiny curly hairstyle.

FACE SHAPE:

This short curly hairstyle probably works for every face type and shape. However, if you have an oval shaped face like this lady then just know that you will really look gorgeous with this curly hairstyle. Any natural hair texture will accommodate this curly hairstyle ranging from thin/fine hair to thick hair.

HOW TO CARE?

• Avoid washing your hair every day; most women think that it’s good to wash hair daily but by doing this you’re actually stripping hair off its natural oils and hence making it dry and frizzy.  Your curly hair requires a lot of moisture than straight hair so this means that it’s quite bad for it to be washed daily because it will become very dry.
• Use the right Shampoo and Conditioner; the type of shampoo and conditioner you have to use on your hair has a very big impact on it because everyone’s hair has different needs but make sure you use these hair products sparingly so that your hair feels silky and smooth  in order to achieve better results.
• Detangle your hair a wide toothed comb; you should avoid brushing your hair when it’s dry because it will just damage it. Do not use a normal brush or comb because this will cause breakage to your hair and you may also use a detangling spray to remove any knots.

HOW TO STYLE

Some black women have natural curly hair and this makes it very easy for them to style and maintain it and also the black color in the curly hair is usually natural in all black women making them to really look classy and beautiful because black hair is unique. However, this lady added in some little brown color spots in her hair which probably matched her skin tone; she also has a square shaped face that really matches that messy curly hairstyle. The following steps will show you how to style this curly hairstyle;

• Wash your hair with cool/warm water; you should allow the water to run through your curls until they are completely wet.
• Apply a shampoo and conditioner; you must do this starting with the ends of your hair and then work your way to the scalp and scrunch the conditioner in but don’t rub it in, do this carefully so that you don’t damage your scalp.
• Use a blow dryer to dry your hair; make sure you acquire one with diffuser because it will help you to gently dry those curls.
• Apply curls to the top layer; you can do this by wrapping a few curls here and there individually into spirals before drying your hair. Use a curling iron to apply curls to the remaining hair layers but use moderate heat so that you don’t damage you’re your hair.
• Use a hair holding spray; lastly, you can use a spray on your hair to keep it shiny and firm but remember to use a spray that is specifically made for curly hair.

FACE SHAPE:

All face shape like Oval, round, square and long can accommodate this kind of short messy curly hairstyle but still you can see that the lady featured above has a square face which greatly matches her curly hairstyle. However, women have hair textures ranging from Fine to thick density with lots of natural texture but still this curly hairstyle will work on all these hair textures.

HOW TO CARE?

• Avoid wash your hair every day; you should only be washing your hair 2-4 times a week. You can also condition your hair between these washes if you like. Washing your hair daily will remove natural hair oils making your hair dry and frizzy yet curly hair require more moisture than any other hair type.
• Try not to use a towel when drying your Hair; scrubbing your hair strands with the towel will cause friction which will also increase the amount of frizz in your hair when its dries. Before the shower, gently wring your hair to get some of the water out of it because this will prevent your hair from being dripping wet.
• Use a blow dryer to dry hair; using a hairdryer on curly hair is a girls worst nightmare, because it will severely damage your hair. If you’re in a hurry, use a diffuser (blow-dryer attachment) by pointing this diffuser in the direction of the curl, hold the curls in your hand and gently squeeze them while drying. I also advise you not to use a hair blower in your hair too often but if you do so remember to use a heat protectant.

Fine hair can be very good to have because it is not thick which makes it easy to maintain. However, most you prefer having thick hair and if you are amongst these people then just change your diet, apply good hair products to your and trust me you will achieve want wish to have. Thin hair is very easy to style compared to thick and it also consumes little hair products compared to thick hair, thin hair is also more comfortable to have because it doesn’t produce too much heat to your scalp like thick hair. You can also follow the steps below to have this particular hairstyle in case you have thin hair;

• Clean your hair; before you start anything, make sure you first wash your hair thoroughly using a good quality shampoo followed a hair conditioner. Remember to wash your hair at least 3 times a week but not daily.
• Blow dry you hair; using a diffuser attached on your blow dryer, blow your hair dry but make sure that you don’t over dry it because it will end up breaking .

• Dry your hair carefully using a blow dryer; because it can be more benefiting than air-drying if you use it correctly. When blow drying your hair, set your dryer to a cool setting and hold distance away to protect your hair from any heat. If you hold the blow dryer too close, the water in your hair can begin to boil. This is why hair dryers are known to be bad, but if you use it correctly it is very good. If you can, avoid drying your hair with heat as much as you can; it will only age your hair.
• Use heat protection spray; use this spray when your blow drying hair. Remember to use a protection spray in case you’re using hot rollers or a flat iron.
• Try not to brush your hair while it’s wet; you should know that wet hair is stretches easily and also has a tendency of breaking. Don’t brush your hair too much because this will only cause breakage to your hair.
• Do some special treatment on your hair; like applying a deep conditioning treatments, applying a good quality hair mask or hair cream, spraying your hair with a leave in conditioner or detangler after showering and also using a leave-in conditioner for at least once in week.

• Use a good quality shampoo and hair conditioner; always try not to shampoo your hair every day, but do condition every time you are in the shower. When purchasing your hair products, always choose a shampoo and conditioner that leaves your hair feeling good and relaxed.

• Try air drying or blow drying your hair; after having your shower, try drying your hair using these two methods to figure out what actually works for you. Blow drying hair completely can cause frizzies, but if you use a diffuser attachment then you can prevent this. You may also tryout to air dry on the weekends or at night in case you have enough time to wait for your hair to dry.

• Detoxify your hair; you should do this for at least once a month in order to clean your hair because it’s one of the most absorbent and dirtiest parts of your body using a detoxifier really helps to remove all this dirt from you hair.

12 Elegant Curly Hairstyles For Women

Women with straight hair seem to always be envious of those with luscious curls.  Curly hair appears full, shiny and eludes sex appeal.  But women who possess natural curls often struggle with styling and reducing frizz.  Curly hair isn’t as versatile as other hair textures as straightening can require a lot of work and cause heat damage.  However, with the right cut and style, curly hair can be easy, effortless and beautiful.

Celebrities like Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift have embraced their curls and contributed to making curly hair trendy.  No longer a horrific trend of the ’80s, a head of curly hair is highly sought after and those who possess it naturally are lucky!

Short Styles

Leaving some length around the neck keeps this short curly ‘do from turning into a mushroom cut.  Ideal for defined ringlets, this style can be controlled with a strong hold styling aid, or fluffed up for a more natural look.  Pieces maybe be pulled up and secured to achieve an updo look for special occasions.  Worn by celebrities like Meg Ryan and Rihanna, this style allows for curls to be kept out of the face while remaining flattering.

Micro-ringlets will live up to their full potential with this layered hairstyle.  Complete with a soft bang, this look is ideal for women with any face shape.  Since the hair provides a lot of coverage to the face, it can create the illusion of an oval shape, while width from the layers can be suitable for a slim or long face.  The shape of this haircut supplies movement to hair that can otherwise be quite stiff.  Using a soft hold, anti-frizz product will keep the curls defined and touchable all day.

Having a looser curl means you can wear your hair quite short while still achieving a lot of volume.  This style is smoothed out along the bangs to avoid a ‘Little Orphan Annie’ appearance and the curls are well defined throughout.  An important step in styling this haircut is using an appropriate curl defining product.  Short, curly hair can look like a mess if the curls are not shiny and frizz-free.  You may choose to use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer to acquire volume and a hairspray to keep your style in-tact.

Medium Styles

Some curly hair can easily be smoothed out at the top and around the face to achieve this look.  While it can be difficult on very frizzy, tight curls, loose curl that smoothes easily is the ideal hair type to wear this style.  Utilizing your own natural, loose curl in the bottom half, this medium style will require using a round brush and a smoothing product to slightly straighten the top half, making sure to leave the ends with some direction.  If you’re really lucky, you can end up with this look by letting your hair dry in a ponytail and then removing the hair tie.

If you’re looking to achieve the maximum amount of fullness possible for your curls, a long bob will offer you just that.  Keeping layers minimal and maintaining thickness through the bottom will allow your curls to be lifted and full of body.  This style is ideal for those with a moderate amount of natural curl, however, when using a diffuser to style, even women with loose curls may achieve this amount of full-body.

Long Styles

Curls can often be weighed down and lose their curl pattern when your hair is worn too long.  It’s important to have the right length of layers incorporated into your haircut to ensure that your roots maintain some lift.  This long curly hairstyle has long bangs that can either be left curly or smoothed out and brushed to the side.  Be careful not to straighten out your bangs completely, as leaving some curl will help them to blend.

If it’s inevitable for your curls to drag down when your hair is long, consider adding some face framing layers.  Shorter layers around the face can create an illusion of tighter curls throughout.  Varying colors of highlights and lowlights will provide more dimension, defining curls throughout the hair.  Styling your curls with a lightweight product will ensure that they aren’t relaxed further.

For those that have loose curls and minimal frizz, this haircut with long layers and a thick long bang will be ideal.  While it will likely be enough to apply a light hold product and air dry, using a large barrel curling iron around the face will enhance the style.  Parting in the middle and curling each section away from the face will result in a glamorous ‘do, appropriate for even formal occasions.  Your natural curl may be left as-is in the back since it will blend with the ironed curls.  This look is worn by many stars on the red carpet and possesses trendiness while remaining low maintenance.

Coloring Curly Hair

Using hair color is a simple way to define and accentuate your curls.  Highlights may range from fine and subtle, to high-contrast and bold.  Curly hair will generally look best with a solid hair color or a full-head application of highlights.  This is because large chunks of color may cause a blotchy appearance.

Since curly hair cuts are usually very layered, a partial set of highlights will cause a horizontal separation in the appearance of the hair.  Getting your hair highlighted throughout will make your curls look more uniform.

Ombre effect hair color is very popular right now and can look great on very loose curls or waves, however, women with tight curls should stay away from this trend.  Like a partial highlight, the ombre technique will cause an illusion of blotchiness and separation.

Solid hair colors on curly hair can look really beautiful.  While a solid color doesn’t offer much definition to curls, it can assist in making your hair appear less frizzy and keep your hair healthy.  Healthy hair tends to curl better and maintain movement and bounce.  Less product will be required than in hair that’s been bleached since solid hair colors tend to be much less damaging.

Styling Curly Hair

• If you’re ready to embrace your curls and say no to the flat iron, you’ll need the appropriate tools and products.  Even though curly hair, regardless of length, can be achieved by air drying, there are aids designed to assist you in the process of styling.
• Since women with curly hair tend to use a lot of product, it’s important to wash it thoroughly when needed.  This may mean everyday for some, or once a week for others.  Sulfate-free shampoo that’s designed for shine and enhancing curl is ideal to use, along with a moisturizing conditioner.  Curly hair, in general, lacks natural oils so using a leave-in conditioner that detangles and contains essential oils will keep the moisture in your locks.
• Starting your hairstyling routine with very wet hair is a good idea.  Hair can air dry at different rates, depending on the area so beginning with an even playing field is your best bet.  Leave in conditioner may be applied to wet hair, followed by a suitable styling aid.  For some, a strong hold gel will work the best while others may require only a drop of argan oil.
• Scrunching your curls up with your hand is a common practice but instead, try placing a small towel in your hand while scrunching.  The towel will absorb excess moisture while your hand ‘scrunches’ from underneath it.
• -Blow drying is a huge no-no when it comes to curly hair, unless you’re using a diffuser.  An attachment nozzle that fits on to your blow dryer, these come in universal sizes and provide a gentle flow of air.  Keeping frizz at a minimum and curl enhancement at a maximum, a diffuser is a must for those that long for tighter curls.
• Hairspray can be quite helpful in keeping your curls in-tact all day.  Aerosol sprays will provide your hair with hold as a final setting step, while pump sprays can offer even further definition and shine.  Turning your head upside while spraying will result in full, voluminous hair and may be repeated through the day for a boost.
