A trendy, always in fashion hairstyle for women (and men) is the flouncy, bouncy, wavy curl! With various types of curls, you can step out for any event looking chic and sophisticated or as youthful and playful as a happy, go lucky school girl.
Whether your natural hair type is straight, wavy, or kinky, you will look stunning and fabulous when you doll yourself up with hair that is curly, swirly and oh, so girly!
Various hair instruments that can give you the lavish, lustrous, luxurious curls that you crave are hot irons, curling irons, heat curlers, foam curlers and pin curls.
Let’s take a look at some great types of curls that can take you all the way from the office to runway ready in one day!
The Classic Curl: This type of curl is by far the easiest to do. Wrap sections of your hair around a hot iron and hold in place for 20 to 30 seconds. Release the curl and do not brush. This makes for a swirly, spiral curl.
The Natural Curl: This curl resembles a soft wave more than tight curls. You can achieve this look with a curling iron that has a thick barrel (1-2 inches) or large foam curlers. The larger the curler, the more wavy and relaxed the curl will be.
The Tight Curl: Work with very small sections of hair and use a curling iron with a thin barrel. Wrap each section of hair tightly around the hot iron and hold for 20 to 30 seconds. The less hair you use in each section, the tighter the curls will be. Release each section of hair from the curling iron and don’t brush.
The Loose Wave: The best way to achieve this glamorous, feminine head of wavy, curly hair is to sleep overnight on large foam rollers or use large heat curlers. A loose wave brings bounce and body to your hair without resembling the look of tight curls.
The Twist Curl: Take small sections of hair and twist each section, then wrap the twisted section of hair tightly around a hot curling iron. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds and release. The curls will resemble a tight, twisted look. Don’t brush out!
Who is that beautiful gal with the head of hair so curly and long that you’ll stop and stare at her all day long?
We all love and adore our hair, whether our preference is long or short, thick or thin, or even bald!
Loose or tight – curly hair looks so right!
