How to Style Wavy and Curly Hair
you envying women with sleek, straight hair? Well, forget $500 straightening treatments. Here’s how to style wavy and curly hair into beautiful, frizz-free ringlets in less than half an hour.
Steps:
- Condition your hair, massaging your scalp to get rid of build-up and excess oil. Shampoo your hair every other day, or best; only two days in a week. (shampooing every day dries out your hair)Once a week is best if you can.
- Comb hair in shower while conditioner is still in. Never towel dry hair. Instead, air dry or diffuse.
- Pour a dollop of liquid straightening serum and a smaller dollop of glossing serum into your hand and mix them together.
- Apply the straightening-glossing serum mixture to sections of your hair. Twist each section around your fingers, hold for a few seconds, then release. Do this all over your head.
- Turn your head down. Dry your hair with a blow-dryer with a diffuser attachment until your hair is completely dry.
- Spray hair lightly with an anti-frizz spray.
- Or… You can be sure to condition your hair thoroughly in the shower, combing through it with you fingers (not a comb). When you get out of the shower, put some leave-in conditioner or curl cream in it, followed by gel (don’t worry, your hair will absorb a lot and prevent frizz–it won’t get crusty unless you overload on the gel). Let air dry.
- Diffusers have prongs to lift the hair as it is dried. If you want volume at the roots, buy a diffuser with the longest prongs you can find. These are most easily found at salons or beauty supply stores.
- When blow-drying with a diffuser, gather large sections of hair into the cup of the diffuser and hold close to your head.
- For extra volume at the roots, move the blow-dryer in a small circular motion while hair is cupped in the diffuser at the scalp.
- Save money by using a straightening serum, which works wonderfully for blow-drying hair into ringlets or creating a straight style.
- If you want to do something different (and you can stand to part with your long hair) consider this style: have long bangs, but cut the rest of your hair really short (like only an inch or two long). The really short part is too short to curl, and you can straighten your bangs if you want. If your hair is more wavy than curly, your bangs might look fine as is, though. This haircut is also really easy to wash and takes no time at all to style.
- Only wash your hair once a day, every other day or every 2 days. That may sound gross to you, but as long as you take a shower and clean your body and put conditioner in it, it will look good and not be greasy.
- Some good products are Pantene Pro-V for curly hair, Sun Silk for curly hair, John Frieda frizz ease for curly hair and Garnier curl and shine. Herbal Essences also has a new line for curly hair that works wonders!
- Thick and wavy hair requires different care than straight. If you aren’t willing to work with it, consider cutting it shorter. Keep in mind that shorter hair won’t weigh itself down & may look “poofy” if cut too short.
- Don’t blow dry too closely to your head or frizz may occur!
- Try a method that NaturallyCurly.com calls “plopping.” Comb your hair in the shower, use your favorite product to scrunch your hair (make sure you REALLY scrunch all the way around). Lay a t-shirt flat on a chair, with the neck hole closest to you. Pile (or plop!) your hair on top of your head and lean upside down over the t-shirt. Fold the widest part of the t-shirt (not the neck) over your head/hair and secure it in place by tieing the sleaves together. Let your hair dry, or almost dry, plopped up on your head and your curls will be amazing!!
Warnings:
- Don’t brush your hair after it is dry, or you you will get really poofy bad hair that isn’t straight, curly or wavy!
- It is possible to burn yourself with a diffuser, so hold it an inch or two away from your scalp.
- Do not get the spray in your eyes!

Hair Conditioning Tips Winter 2009
Haircut Styles presents Hair Conditioning Tips
Hair conditioning should be done according the texture of hair. While dry and frizzy hair requires more conditioning, straight and oily hair would hardly require any conditioning. Healthy hair is dependent on the diet, health, climatic conditions and genetic makeup of a person. For thousands of years, natural oils such as olive oil, jojoba oil, tea tree oil and coconut oil have been used to oil and condition hair.
Today there are many conditioners apart from the natural oils that are available in the market, that can be used to nourish and condition the hair. There are several types of hair conditioners available in the market such as pack conditioners, hold conditioners and leave in conditioners. They serve various purposes. Pack conditioners are heavy and thick and are able to glue the hair structure together.
Hold conditioners are used to hold the hair in the desired look and hairstyle. They are usually applied to the hair for along time. Leave in conditioners are thinner and contain different surfactants make the hair shinier. They are quite similar to hair gels. Hair conditioners are used for replacing the stripped out sebum from the hair. When hair conditioners are applied, one should wear a hat in the sun for the conditioner to work effectively.

Emo style is that shaggy dog, just tumbled out of bed look. On everyone it looks different. The style is sexy, playful and unique. Emo style is about creativity and versatility. But there is a secret to emo style. Emo style is defined by each spiky tendril, unkempt and loose sweeping strand, but to truly effect a striking result that sets you apart from everybody else what you should know about an emo hair beforehand is that emo stylehair looks unruly, but actually is a high maintenance and strategically styled creation.
Emo hair styles works on all hair lengths from short buzzed hair to long and loose. It can be a shag with lots of layers, an asymmetrical cut or shaved in the back. You can have eye length, or layered bangs that softly frame the face, you can create your own unique emo sweep at the front, or sport a long, peek-a-boo fringe brushed to one side. Radical colors are a perfect way to redefine the emo hairstyle; deep, rich and contrasting colors, highlights in unusual colors, thick streaks of color and highlights at the tips add dimension to your style.
Emo styles work well with many face shapes but in some cases emo styles don’t work well with a round face. Layers and strange cuts can be hard to maintain. For a more sculpted emo look the cut should always be done by a professional. You can bring a picture of your favorite emo hairstyle and discuss your personal preferences with them. Discuss your expectations. Have a clear picture of the hairstyle you hope to effect. Be clear about what you like or dislike. Make sure your hairstylist is familiar with the emo hairstyle. Discuss what your hair routine will be. How much time will be spent in styling your hair? What products and tools will you need to maintain your style? Ask your hairstylist to show you how to style it.
