New trends in long curls
Long hair fads are increasingly adopting a more natural look and using more hair friendly styles and styling chemicals. New styling in the hands of seasoned modern hair dressers helps bring out the best in long length curly hair cuts.
- The longer the hair gets, natural oils disappear the farther your hair gets away from its roots. Applying conditioners should have more concentration at the ends of your curly hair. After a shower, apply leave-in conditioner to weigh down on your hair and mitigate tangles common with curls. After that, don’t wrap your hair in a towel but wring your hair and towel dry it.
- Blow drying with hot air can be ruinous to your hair. Use cold air instead and use a diffuser attachment that disperses airflow to a wider section of your hair. Nothing beats towel drying or natural aeration to dry you hair.
- Brush your hair with the leave in conditioner using a wide-toothed comb or brush bristles starting from the ends and work your way up. The hair is weak when wet and can break easily, so be gentle when combing or brushing or brushing wet hair.
- Styling gels from various makes get the rest of the job done to give curly hair a fuller more gorgeous body and bouncier curls. Apply only water-soluble styling products so no residue builds on your hair. For better control use styling gel instead of a mouse. A mouse makes the hair lighter while a gel imparts more body and weight to lend you more control.
Some of these routines can depart form what you’ve been used to with short or medium cut hairstyles. A long curly hair cut requires a little more patience to maintain its seductive elegance.
