Girls possessing naturally curly hair, often worry about the untidy look of curls and complain about difficulties in caring for them. But with the right choice of cosmetics, with a well-chosen haircut, a curly hairstyle will look beautiful and neat.

Pros and cons of curly hair

Like any other hair, curly curls have their own pros and cons.

The main advantages of curly hair:

• Noticeable volume even with very little hair.
• Beautiful curls with natural styling without a hairdryer and stylers.
• Curly hair dries much faster than straight and thick hair. With the help of a hairdryer, you can make a wet styling in 5-15 minutes.
• From curly hair, you can easily and quickly make a formal hairstyle and evening styling.
• According to statistics, more than half of men consider girls with curls to be the most attractive.

Due to the fact that this type is not widespread among the Slavs, many girls have a poor idea of ​​how to care for such hair. Therefore, the obvious advantages of curls are often perceived as disadvantages.

Problems faced by owners of curly hair:

• Too soft or elastic curls are difficult to style, if you do not know the basic principles of the selection of caring and styling products.
• The scalp of those with curly locks is usually more sensitive and dry, prone to dandruff.
• Curls can frizzy and look sloppy in wet weather.
• If the waves are soft and not pronounced, girls often feel a lack of volume at the roots.
• Curly hair is difficult to grow back. Compared to straight hair, curly hair visually grows back 2-5 times longer.
• It is difficult to find a hairdresser specializing in curly hair. This type is quite rare, therefore, there are no specialized courses on working with curls almost anywhere in the post-Soviet space.
• There are certain difficulties in dyeing curly hair. With an illiterate selection of dye, curls can be deformed and damaged more than straight hair.

Features of the structure of curly curls

Curly hair in girls differs from straight strands in the structure of the hair follicle. In people with straight hair, follicles grow perpendicular to the scalp. In cases where the hair is curly, the follicle is tilted. The greater the slope, the tighter the curl is formed from the hair.

Unlike straight hair, the processes of cell division in curly hair are not so uniform. They accumulate alternately on one and the other side of the hair shaft. If you look at the section of curly hair, it will have an oval shape. Straight hair, where the scales are evenly distributed, is circular. Because of this, the hair curls into curls.

People with curly hair have fewer sebaceous glands on their scalp. Therefore, wavy hair is more often of the dry type: the glands do not cope with the function of sufficient moisture to the curls naturally. Curls often grow a little slower, but there is no need to wash your hair often, because curly curls get dirty much more slowly.

Due to uneven cell division, the structure of curly hair is heterogeneous.In some places the scales are open too much, in others they are very tightly closed. Therefore, curly hair is difficult to retain moisture and nutrients in the hair shaft, which subsequently requires increased care and attention.

Curly and wavy hair can only be inherited, it is impossible to artificially change the hair structure.

What spoils curly hair?

Girls with curly hair face many problems, the main one being brittleness and dryness. Wavy hair is more vulnerable in structure, their condition can be very easily ruined, and a lot of effort is required to eliminate the unpleasant consequences.

Here are the main factors that negatively affect curly hair:

• Incorrect selection of caring cosmetics... Curls need special care, and most shampoos, conditioners and masks cannot cope with fragile wavy hair. Owners of curly hair should never give up rinses and conditioners.
• Illiterate selection of styling products, their lack or excess. Most styling products contain alcohol, silicones and other harsh ingredients that can harm vulnerable curls. It is necessary to select such funds for curls very carefully, and use as little as possible.
• Frequent use of hot styling tools is able to destroy the structure of a porous wavy hair shaft much faster than a straight one. Constant use of a hair dryer, curling irons and irons makes curls dry, dull and brittle. If a girl cannot refuse such tools, it is imperative to use thermal protection products before each styling.
• Aggressive staining Is the worst enemy of curly hair. This is especially true for clarification using high concentration oxidants. But dyeing with gentle ammonia-free paints, tone on tone or darker, will even benefit curls: such dyes fill the cavities in the hair and close the scales, which allows moisture to be better retained inside.
• Any manipulation of wet hair can also lead to disastrous consequences. You can not rub the curls strongly with a towel, it is better to gently squeeze and leave the towel on your head for 10 minutes so that the moisture is absorbed. It is better not to comb very wet hair. It is worth waiting until they are slightly dry, then comb through with a comb with rare teeth, because wet curls are very easily damaged.
• Ponytails and braids that are too tight can cause breakage and dryness. You need to choose elastic bands and hairpins that do not pinch the hair in a bun, try to make more airy hairstyles.

Curl care rules

Curly hair in girls is common (1 case out of 2), despite this, few people have adapted to properly care for curls with such a structure. They need constant intense hydration. Simple shampoo and conditioner is not enough for all hair types.

When choosing caring cosmetics, you should pay attention to specialized series for curls. Most often, they include more moisturizing components. If possible, it is better to purchase professional products because of their higher quality.

The list of cosmetic products must include extra-moisturizing masks, which should be applied 1-2 times a week. Leave-in products help maintain the health and appearance of curls. It is worth paying attention to serums, sprays, light oils for smoothing and facilitating combing.

It is important to be able to understand the composition of cosmetics. Owners of curly hair need to make a choice in favor of products that do not contain silicones and parabens, alcohols and chemical oils. All these components harm curls, deplete and dry them out.

To remove these harmful compounds, you can wash your hair with a deep cleaning shampoo every 2 weeks, then use a deeply moisturizing conditioner.

Many stylists and trichologists advise girls with curly curls to try a grooming system called co-waxing. The essence of this system is that when washing your hair, the use of shampoo is excluded. Naturally dry curls are often slightly dirty, and the scalp produces less sebum.

Therefore, washing with conditioner is enough to cleanse your hair. Removing the shampoo helps keep the curls hydrated, as balms and conditioners are much softer.

It is recommended to comb curly hair slightly dry. If the curls are not thick, simply combing with your fingers while washing is sufficient. Do not scratch very wet hair. If you comb dry curls, the appearance of the hairstyle will be ruined: the strands will fluff, the curl structure will be lost and the styling will turn into a careless ball of hair.

Depending on the thickness and elasticity of the curl, you can dry curls in 3 ways:

• Dry naturally: the hair is combed once wet and dries without the use of styling tools. It is important to wait for your hair to dry well before going to bed, otherwise the back of your head will fluff up and look casual. This method is best suited for rare curls with a soft wavy curl.
• For medium density, stylists advise using a combination of blow-drying to a semi-dry state, then the curls are left to dry naturally.
• If your curls are thick and take too long to dry, you can use a hairdryer. It is easier to handle curls with low power and low air temperature, so that they do not get disheveled under the strong pressure of air.

If the use of a hair dryer cannot be ruled out, a diffuser must be used during installation. Such a nozzle can be of any shape and size, with a different number of teeth. The main thing is that the hair completely fits into it when styling, therefore, thick-haired girls should choose a diffuser with a larger bowl.

In cases where curls need to be straightened or wound in a different way, an iron and curling iron can only be used on completely dried hair, be sure to use a heat protectant.

Suitable haircuts for curly hair depending on the shape of the face

Curly hair for girls needs to be cut, taking into account the shape of the face when choosing a haircut. It is better to think over the shape well and consult with an experienced specialist, because in the case of an unsuccessfully chosen haircut, it takes much longer to grow curls than straight hair.

Not all classic haircuts are suitable for curly hair. Cascading hairstyles should be avoided with tight intense curls, straight straight lines. Curly girls should not cut short bangs, and with small curls, it is generally contraindicated.

Haircuts for curly hair are best done on dry, wet curls change shape too much, the result is often unpredictable.

Curly hair coloring. Rules and techniques

Curly hair on girls is more prone to damage than straight hair. If possible, aggressive staining and lightening should be discarded.

If you still dye your hair, then it is better to choose the most gentle formulations. If a girl does not plan to lighten her hair, but wants to dye her hair in the same tone or make her hair darker, ammonia-free semi-permanent dyes will be an excellent option.

They do not destroy the hair structure, but, on the contrary, saturate the cavities in the shaft with pigment and seal the cuticle scales. Curls become shiny, more well-groomed, moisture from the hair evaporates more slowly. But such paints are washed off in a few weeks.

If you decide to lighten your hair, it is better to contact a professional salon. Store-bought lightening paints contain very aggressive lightening agents. A hairdresser can choose the most gentle oxide for professional clarifiers, which will help maintain hair health.

On curly hair, complex dyes with strands of different shades look advantageous. They visually add volume and texture to the hairstyle.

The most suitable colors for curly hair:

• Shatush - a smooth transition of color from dark roots to light ends, the effect of hair burnt out in the sun.
• Balayazh - a contrasting transition from roots to ends, clear light strands are well read.
• Highlighting - small very light strands from the very root, graphic coloring for those who want a blonde, but are not ready to dye their hair completely.
• Airtach - the softest transition from dark root to light ends, smooth crumbly strands along the entire length.

Colored hair requires special care in the form of masks, rich serums and regular toning.

Naturally curly hair in girls is a highlight that distinguishes their owners from others. With proper care and proper styling, curly hair can enhance its beauty and become one of the main advantages.
