I share with you some of my secrets to adorable hair for rainy days, just in case you're caught out there without a clue...
You are going to love me for this....I suggest working with the authenticity of your texture instead of reversing it and trying to fight it from reverting back unexpectedly! Trust me, I know but hear me out....I have the perfect solution to marshmallow puff hair!
Simple enough, your new BFF for this season should be your hair product!
Some of my fav's are:
Mixed Chicks Leave-in Conditioner/Styling Cream: Leaves the hair soft in texture but defines your curls to perfection! No crispy frizzies- your curls will bounce and behave like never before! If you're not sure where to find it, no worries! If you need it like yesterday...just google search Mixed Chicks and type in the city in which you live and you will be sure to find a salon or beauty supply store near you that carries the product! If you're in an area that doesn't carry it...just log onto www.mixedchicks.net and you can order online!!! Food for thought: When I first discovered the product a few years ago, I would travel from the east coast all the way to LA to restock! Sounds crazy huh? Well my curls are totally worth it and I haven't found a product that my curls love more!!! Side bar: It also works wonderfully on weaves as well as relaxed hair!
Kinky-Curly Curling Custard: This is an awesome choice for all curl patterns. I love the fact that it is organic and most importantly contains NO Alcohol! It actually adds moisture back into the cuticle layer of the hair and since it doesn't contain any silicone, petroleum or any other ingredient which is common for curly hair products...it is great for daily use because there is no build up! When you think "go green", you usually don't think of going green with your hair stuff, but in this case you can flaunt your curls while protecting the environment! How cool is that and while shopping in your friendly neighborhood organic food market, Whole Foods, you can pick up your new BFF there as well!
More of my fav curly hair products are Frederic Fekkai Luscious Curls Cream, and Curls Rock Leave-in Moisturizer.
Now that I've shared some of my product secrets with you, the right thing to do would be to share some style secrets with you too...
So, gather your products, diffuser, bobbi pins, curling iron etc. and let the fun begin!
There is SO much you can do with natural hair! Be creative, dare to be different! Not everyone has curly hair! No matter the curl pattern, you can wear it totally natural, and diffused for shape! Pin it up on one side, wear it all out, if it's longer you can pull it up in a loose ponytail, with a headband, etc. The options are endless! If you desire more of a structured curl, utilize your hair tools! Let your hair air dry with a little product and use a small to medium sized barrel curling iron (depending on the length), wrap the hair around the outside of the barrel (Do NOT clamp the hair in between), hold it for a few seconds to smooth and form the curl/wave, slide the barrel from inside the hair and oh my gosh....the perfect coil or wave is born!!!
It's all about how you rock it...and just like these Hollywood Beauties:
Be confident, Be flirty, Be classy! Embrace your curls!!!
