Curly Hair: The Pinup Studio Guide
If you are anything like me, curly hair is a must. You can style it in many different ways, it's full of life, bouncey, and easy to manage. It can be difficult to manage sometimes.
The biggest challenge for curly-haired women is how to make curly hair look frizzy and puffbally. This article will teach you how to manage curly hair like an expert!
Different Hair Types
Before we start, it is important to realize that not all curls are the same. There are different types and responses to diffusing curls.
Type III curls, for example, will be much more difficult than type II curls to diffuse. Because type III curls tend to be more frizzy and dry than type II, diffusing them can make them look worse.
Type II curls are more manageable and can be diffused easily. You're lucky if you have type 2 curly hair!
The Right Diffuser
We've covered the types of curly hair. Now let's discuss the best diffuser.
Here are some things you should look out for when selecting a diffuser.
- The size of your diffuser. You should ensure that the diffuser fits on your hair dryer.
- The shape of the diffuser. Some diffusers come in a rectangular shape while others have a round one. You can choose the one that best fits your head.
- The type of attachment clips. There are two types. Rubber and metal. Rubber clips are more flexible than metal clips and will not damage your hair.
How to diffuse curly hair
Now that you are familiar with the characteristics of a diffuser let's get started on how to use it.
- Split your hair into four sections: one at the front, one at the back, and two at the sides.
- Take the first section of hair out of your face.
- Attach the diffuser and hair dryer to it, then turn it down to its lowest setting.
- The diffuser should be placed at the root of your hair. Next, move it to the ends. You should keep moving the diffuser so that your hair is exposed to air.
- Continue to diffuse until your hair is dry.
Tips for diffusing curly hair
Use a leave-in serum or conditioner before you start to diffuse your hair. This will protect your hair against the heat and keep it from frizzing. You may need to take some time getting used to a diffuser when you first use it. Once you are comfortable with the technique, practice using a low setting to diffuse your hair.
Diffusing might not be the best for curly hair. You can air-dry your hair if it is very frizzy.
Tips on Air-Drying Curly Hair
- First, wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner that is free of sulfates. Sulfates can cause hair to frizz and damage curly hair.
- You can protect your hair with a serum or leave-in conditioner.
- Your hair should be allowed to air dry for as long as it is possible. Use a low setting to dry your hair. Keep the nozzle moving to avoid exposing it to heat.
Conclusion:
Although curling curly hair in a diffuser is a great style, it's not for everyone. You can air-dry your frizzy hair instead. For hair protection from the heat and humidity, you should use a leavein conditioner or serum.
