Straight Hair
Let’s start with the basics. Straight hair is a common hair type but is sometimes highly underrated. Often, straight hair gets a label of boring, oily, limp, or plain.
Straight hair can look fabulous or even dramatic with the right care and style. Within the straight hair category are several sub-categories. Each type is unique and requires specific attention.
Fine Hair
Fine hair can sometimes end up looking oily. To prevent this, ensure you aren’t using a heavy conditioner, and invest in a quality dry shampoo for between washes. You have likely already realized that your fine hair won’t hold curls well.
While that might be frustrating, save yourself the stress and focus on keeping your hair looking shiny and healthy and you’ll fall in love with your hair.
Straight Hair With a Little Wave
Some straight hair is fuller than fine hair, and while it might have a slight wave to it, still won’t hold a curl. Use a texture spray to give your straight hair some additional body. For the days you want to rock the straight look, use a straightening iron to smooth, and style your hair.
Curly Hair
Curly hair can be fun and glamorous but can also be difficult to style. Curly hair is sometimes synonymous with frizzy hair, which can lead to frustration. Getting a handle on frizz can be a challenge, whether due to dry hair, humidity, or other environmental factors.
Curly hair also encompasses several different types of hair. Understanding your type of curly hair is the key to the perfect look.
Large Curls
Large curls sometimes come with some wavy pieces throughout your hair. Using the scrunching technique is an excellent way to maximize your curls. Stay away from heat and instead add some curl cream to your wet hair and scrunch away. Use a microfiber towel to squeeze dry your curls and let air dry.
Stretched-Out Curls
These curls stretch down toward your shoulders and curl at the bottom instead of from the top. To keep these curls shiny and bouncy, style your curly hair when wet and add a leave-in conditioner and light gel.
Avoid using a hair dryer to prevent frizz. You’ll love this light and fun look and have a new appreciation for your curly hair.
Coil Curls
Coarse and tightly kinked, coiled curls are often prone to frizz and dryness. With tight and dense curls, it can be hard to deep condition your hair and moisturize your scalp.
Blowing your hair dry can get these curls their curliest, but air drying is also an ideal way to style your hair. Keep styling products light ensures your hair is bouncy and not weighed down, but also frizz-free.
