Curly Hair after lock-down, now what?
Curly Hair after lock-down, now what?
While the journey to embracing one’s hair in all its natural glory might have begun as a necessity (thanks to the absence of hairdressers this past year during COVID-19 ) it now feels wholly worthwhile.
A lack of heat and more time spent nurturing your waves, coils, and curls, meaning that each strand is now healthier, stronger, and more robust, and hair overall is bouncy, more manageable, and frizz-free. A good result all around.
Inevitably, haircuts are now required – but the question is, what style should curly girls opt for as they hit the hair salon again? A lot of people have begun wearing their hair in its natural state and embracing its texture.
And the latest way to wear natural hair is all about opting for a short haircut, bob, or layers, but really working with the texture you’ve got. If you’ve got curly hair, you’re having layers cut in to enhance those curls.
Or if you’ve got coily hair, then it’s about creating a really beautiful shape to the hair and enhancing it.”
Whatever your choice of haircut, instead of disguising your texture or using the cut to play it down, it’s time to draw attention to it and make it a feature. It is this, that will help bring out the best in the haircut too.
While those with curls often have haircuts with “solid baselines” and heavy bangs, the modern way to do this is to introduce other elements to the haircut.
You can introduce layers into the haircut by taking the fringe slightly further back, for example. So it’s a heavier, deeper bangs, which then creates a gentle, disconnected layer through the top and brings the idea of layers into play – but really gently.
It is about the ultra-positive heads of natural, healthy hair when visiting the salon and it’s more than just a “trend” but is, rather, a movement that isn’t going anywhere.
Start by choosing a gentle and good hair care shampoo and conditioner, to help hair health and intensely hydrate and condition.
It’s about bringing the best out of your hair with natural texture rather than, you know, trying to straighten it out – you’ll find hair moves naturally and feels and looks beautiful.
