How to Air Dry Your Hair Without Looking Like a Hot MessDitch your hot tools and master the art of air-drying your hair |
For Perfect Ringlets "Curly hair is usually dry hair therefore: moisture, moisture and more moisture," says Williams. He adds that curly hair must remain wet at all times when you're handling it, or it will get frizzy. Start by applying a hair cream that has some weight to it, but isn't greasy, to wet hair. (Try DevaCurl SuperCream Coconut Curl Styler, $28). Comb through once. "For curly looks with clear curl definition and elongation try this," says Williams. Grab medium-to-large perm rods or small hair rollers, and a fine-tooth comb.
"Making small to medium partings, about two inches wide begin at the nape and moving toward front (about nine rods later), braid hair and wrap around rods or rollers." When your hair is dry, remove the rollers, warm up more of your styling cream in your hands and pat onto sections of hair to unwind your curls. "This will hydrate and separate curls and wave."
"Tip: Do not comb, as hair will frizz. Only touch hair with cream on hands," says Williams. The less you touch your hair, the better.
