Girls with Curls Coloring Cues

Girls with curls that want their hair highlighted or colored, is not much different than girls with straight hair. The process is the same, but you must gauge the thickness of the weave for coloring or lightening to be in balance with the wave of the hair. If you weave to small of strands you will not even see what you have done because it gets lost in the waves of the hair. When the weaves are to large the steaks look like chunks and are outdated. Don't make her look like a clown.
When your going to color be sure that you first examine the texture, the porosity and the condition of the hair. Then decide what the possibilities are and what technique your going to do.
If you decide to highlight take precautions by definitely deep conditioning that hair because by coloring or highlighting you can damage the weaker parts of the hair. Weaker areas are around the hairline. You should take special care in processing also if you use to strong of a developer or over process the hair will break off in some areas. In coloring curly hair don't use flat shades the results make the hair dull and then you have lost the shine.
Remember that textured hair is always in motion a full color from roots to ends is not necessary to achieve the highlighted look. The lighter color is applied more heavily to the middle of the hair shaft and ends. This looks more natural and you won't have to touch-up as often. It also saves the hair from looking over processed. The key to healthy curly hair is to avoid over processing the hair and also from drying it out even further. Before coloring use a conditioner or protein treatment the color seems to hold better. For in between treatments you can use glosses and glazes but no color gloss. This gives the hair shine and helps to control frizz and gives the hair a healthier look.
