Curly Hairstyles
Curls Curls Curls
Many straight-haired girls would love to have a head full of curls, and these days women are trading in their flat-irons for a hair diffuser to make the most of their naturally curly hairstyle.
Who has it?
A lot of actors are starting to wear their curly hairstyles au natural, such as Keri Russell from Felicity, Jane Krakowski from Ally McBeal, Julianna Margulies from ER, Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex in the City and the amazing Debra Messing from Will & Grace.
Who can wear it?
Curly hairstyles can be worn by anyone and everyone. If you've got curly hair and it tends to frizz, use a heavy-weight gel or a relaxing balm and let your hair dry naturally. If your hair doesn't frizz, use a smoothing serum and scrunch your hair using a diffuser. For women with straight hair there are so many products to use to get natural looking curls.
The Cut
Long hair is so much easier to curl. Layering unlocks natural wave so go for light layers to encourage bouncy ringlets. If you want to go for a short hairstyle, have a cut that will remove bulk while emphasizing the facial features.
The good news is that almost any hair length will curl.
Styling
There are so many ways to create curls. Using a diffuser will give the effect of loose, bouncy curls while a curling iron will allow you to choose the size of your ringlets or for a more textured curl, give the new triple barrel curling iron a try.
The bigger the curling iron the looser the curl.
