Curly Curly Curly

Curls. So fun. So bouncy. So glamourous and romantic. For some, such as myself, its so easy! For some it takes a little more work, but there are so many fun and easy ways to master curly hair. So much of successfulness with curly hair depends on your haircut! Blunt, heavy, and bulky cuts will never work with curly hair! Make sure you have layers and disconnection. Twisting the hair is the key to styling. Whether you twist and diffuse, twist and air dry, or dry and twist around a curling iron its all about the twist. It is the key to modern looking curls. Take small sections and wrap around your finger before drying or wrap around any size curling iron instead of putting it through the clamp. It makes for a more modern curl but watch out for your fingers! Another great way to enhance your curls is through hair color! Sounds crazy I'm sure! Highlights or different tones through your hair can enhance curls because it gives it the effect as though the different colors are wrapping around eachother. This does not mean you have to get streaks through your hair for it to look good! Natural highlights or different shades of your natural color is a perfect option!

Summer Time... lets keep our hair healthy....

Hello all! I missed last weeks blog due to vacation. I know poor me! I thoroughly enjoyed the time on the beach. It was the most perfect weather and the time with family was priceless. As summer aproaches, everyone's lifestyles change and cause greater stress on your hair. There are many tips that can keep your hair moisturized, shiny, healthy, and looking beautiful.

1. Go natural. Let your hair dry naturally. If you have curly hair, put in a little gel and let it go! This is such a beautiful look for summer. It saves the effort and damage of constant blow drying and flat ironing.

2. Out for a day at the beach, pool, or lake? Wet your hair and apply a conditioner or moisture treatment in your hair before going out. Pull it up in a pony tail, braid, or bun and let it soak all day. Your hair will feel amazing after you rinse it that night. Its quite exciting.

3. Wear a hat as much as possible to protect your hair color.

4. Never forget your sunscreen to protect your skin! The best way to fight the ageing process is to save your skin from the damage of the sun at all times.
