Curly Couture

This chiseled haircut is a great shape for curly haired girls. The short to medium layers help keep the length looking light and also make this style much easier to manage. Keeping the hair parted on the side keeps this style whimsical and airy.





How To Style:
These are natural curls created from using a lot of mousse and a diffuser. If you don’t have curly hair you can curl very small sections of hair with a tiny spiral curling iron – it will just take a very long time. Girls with natural curls should use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner to moisturize curls and cut back on frizz.

1. Towel dry and blot to remove moisture and then layer on the products.
2. Use a wide-toothed comb to detangle hair and then scrunch from the ends up to encourage the curl.
3. Put the diffuser attachment onto your hairdryer and cradle your curls on medium heat. Tip your head upside down to create volume.
4. Keep moving the diffuser around until your hair is completely dry and spray with hairspray if you desire.

Scrunch wet hair with Pureoloy Root Lift and also try Redken’s Glass as a shine serum before you diffuse.
Best Face Shapes & Hair Types:
This style would work well on all face shapes except heart shaped faces. Girls with naturally curly hair should rock this style especially if they have hair of medium thickness.
Tip: Spray some hairspray and scrunch up with your fingers after hair is dry to add some texture and grit.
