Curl Power: Unlocking the Beauty of Various Curl Types

I’m a firm believer that every hairstyle looks better with curls. Some people are blessed with natural ones while other have to find artificial ways to curl their hair. These ways can be heat less or heat induced. Every curl is unique and has the ability to escalate your look. Here are some natural as well as artificial curls that you must know about.

Bring Out Natural Curls

Moisturize: Moisture is the key element that makes your curls look healthy and bouncy. Therefore, use a good conditioner and hydrating curling cream.

Sulfate free Shampoo: Keeping your hair clean plays an important part in its overall health. A sulfate free shampoo would save your strands from drying up.

Plopping: It’s a heat less hair drying technique that helps the curls to emerge better.

Curling Moose: A curling moose holds up the curls and provides a bouncy volume as well.

Food Habits: Everything boils down to your bodily health. Eat good food and food that is high in protein and fiber for a healthy hair growth.

Brushing the hair: Making sure that you are using appropriate hair brush for your curls, is very important. A wooden brush is always recommended over a plastic one. Also, be thoughtful about the type of bristles based on your curl type.

Natural Curl Types

1. Wavy Curls

These curls are very subtle and are also considered a different texture than a curl by some people. But it’s one of the more common hair texture found among long hair people.

2. Loose Curls

Loose curls are adorable. You can style them in so many different ways and they are slightly more curvy than waves so they have an effortless look when styled properly.

3. Tight Curls

Tight curls are difficult to take care of, specially when they are all natural. They have a higher tendency to get frizzy and dry. Therefore appropriate products must be used.

4. Coiled Curls

We all know that oval hair follicles produce curly hair. These are coiled hair which is more common among African people when compared to Caucasians. They are caused by extremely elongated oval hair follicles and are very difficult to maintain.

Frizzy curls are a result of inappropriate hair products for tight or coiled curls. This can sometimes be a statement look as well when the hair gets all puffy.

S wave curls are subtle but very pretty none the less. They are achieved using a flat iron and definitely some hairspray for keeping the hair intact.
