Perfect your curls with these steps



       Anyone can suit curls; there are so many different types of curls and curling methods. I have personally tried them all, and they all work quite well. However it all depends on the look you are trying to achieve. Here are some tips on how to create different types of curls.
-
Beach curls:  These are one of the easiest curling methods ever! After taking a shower add little bit of curling gel to your wet hair and tie it tightly in a bun. Blow-dry it for 3-5 minutes. Put it back down and add on some curling mousse. Scrunch your hair a couple of times and tie it tightly in a bun once more. Keep it in a bun for 10-15 minutes this time. Later when you put it back down you will be left with wavy/ curly beach hair.
-
Medium curls: This type of curling takes a little longer as the hair needs to be parted and sectioned. You can choose to use a curling iron or medium hot rollers (I personally prefer the rollers).Once parted and sectioned add a small amount of gel to each strand of hair you’re curling. When you have curled/ taken off the rollers add some hair spray (don’t add too much though or else your hair will feel hard and toasty.)
-
Loose Curls: Alright for these types of curls I definitely recommend using the big hot rollers; they are very effective. Once again section and part the hair and add a bit of gel to each strand.  Finally, Hair spray it a little bit once it has been let down.
-
Tight curls: Okay, remember those small rollers grandma and mom used to curl their hair with? Yes those are the ones I’m talking about! These rollers work wonderful for tight curls. When putting these on part the hair the way you wish to wear it. Add a tiny bit of curling gel and put on as many rollers as you like. Make sure to add a little bit of hair spray while the rollers are on, since no heat is being used it guarantees a better hold. Now this type of curling takes a couple of hours so I highly suggest giving yourself extra time. However you can also fasten the process by using the blow dryer in high heat. Nonetheless give yourself TIME!

Alright to top off any of these looks add a drop of anti-fizz oil on top on the scalp and gently move towards the curls (smoothly so they don’t get wrecked.) Finally get out there and show off those bouncy locks.
