Girls with Curls


The world today is so different than when I started as hairdresser. Most girls who had curly hair wanted there hair to be long sexy and straight. Over the years hair styles have revolved around long straight hair and sleek looking ponytails and the shiny bobs. As the world and fashion evolves so does hair, and comes many manes of curls and also variations in texture. Many people believe that curly hair is still a thing of the past. Remember when people wanted the curly look and everyone was getting perms. Even men wanted this curly look. I'll bet that if you ask some of the baby boomers, men especially they would answer yes. I have done many of those perms for men out of my apartment because they didn't want anyone to see them with perm rods in their hair. Now going to a salon is great especially when their stylist is a woman.
In our multicultural world, woman can have many types of hair textures that range from waves, curls and the unbelievable kinks. Textured is naturally drier and more porous. Curly hair often appears less shiny and unhealthy looking because the cuticle is more raised. The twists and turns of the hair strands only reflect light from the arcs of the curls. Now you can style curly hair to give it a new and different look.
There are special techniques that you should know when comes to taking care of textured hair. If you want more of ribbon look, this is achieved by separating each curled section into smaller more defined curls by running a conditioning product down each strand like a ribbon. It gives the hair more shine and definition and to create more volume alternate the direction of every other strand. Always listen to what the girl with curls has to say because she has had this curly hair forever.
