10 Curly Hair Tips That Will Change Your LifeThe be-all-end-all guide to getting your best curls -- period |
Curly Hair Tip No. 3: Keep Your Hands Away From Your Hair To keep your curly hair texture at its most defined, avoid manipulating it, period. Touching your hair with your hands while it's drying breaks up your curl pattern, adding frizz and an unkempt wave.
The secret to styling your curls without creating frizz really depends on your curl type, says Harbinger.
Supercurly hair should be prepared with a styling product when wet, and then left alone.
Wavy hair, she says, doesn't frizz as much and typically needs extra coaxing for volume and definition. To give your waves more lift as they dry, use a curl cream and scrunch up your hair vigorously while it's damp. Then, avoid touching your hair at all costs until it's at least 75 percent dry, says Shorter. This will give you frizz-free volume all day.
For any type of curl pattern that falls flat while drying, try this trick: Section off the top portion of your hair just around the crown. Pull it back and clip it loosely with a jaw clip during the drying process. This will help give hair more volume once dry, she says.
