1st, having curly hair is NOT equaled to the same maintenance for your straight hair. You need more maintenance!
P/s: please always use conditioner after shampooing your hair. I've caught a few of you not doing so! tsk tsk....
The Essentials:
1) leave in conditioner or serum
2) curl wax
3) curling thong (optional)
4) makeup
ok
No.1. LEAVE IN CONDITIONER/SERUM---> this is to give hair a bit of gloss and shine. you don't want the hair looking like wheat.
No.2. WAX--> you need wax to keep the curls in place, to minimise the frizziness. Apply the wax, one dollop at a time, into sectioned hair until it's distributed evenly per section when hair is damp.
Detangle with finger, coat hair with wax, twist and scrunch.
Personally, i don't like using sculpting lotion or gel because when hair dries, it has the stiff noodle look. NOT appealing or sexy... I recommend Lucido hair wax for curls!
This wax revives curls and gives a strong hold without the stiffness!
If some of you don't want your curls too amplified by wax, its fine if you use more curl conditioner and a little bit of wax for softer curls.
No.3. CURLING THONG---> this is optional unless you want those really really nice bouncy waves/curls you see in magazines. If not, the wax should do a good job.
Note: Please always use a pre-heat protective styler or moouse before you thong to prevent too much moisture loss. Before you thong, make sure hair is DRY
No.4. MAKEUP---> having curls is a fine line between looking ultra sexy or ultra 'auntie'. Makeup obviously will bring out the wild cat in you. So, to be on the safe side, stick to eyeliner, mascara/falsies, blusher and peach lip shine. Basics. PERIOD.
