How to Style Curly Hair

Start with Clean and Conditioned Hair

01.

Wash your hair with curly hair shampoo and conditioner. Great styling starts with well-hydrated hair.

Apply a Leave-In Conditioner 

02.

Apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair after washing to boost curls. Spread the product using fingers or a wide-toothed comb. 

Define Your Curls 

03.

For definition, lightly scrunch moist curls. To increase curls, twist little portions of hair around your fingers. 

Diffuse or Air Dry 

04.

Air-dry your curls or use a diffuser attachment on low heat. Use a diffuser or let your hair dry naturally. 

Avoid Over-Brushing 

05.

After drying, brush your curls less. This prevents frizz and keeps curls. Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to detangle. 

Enhance with Styling Products 

06.

To define and maintain your curls, use a curl-enhancing product like gel or mousse. Scrunch your hair as you work the product through it for curls that last all day. 

Pineapple Technique for Overnight 

07.

Pineapple your curls overnight. Secure your hair with a satin or silk scrunchie. This lowers frizz and curl form. 

Refresh Your Curls 

08.

On non-wash days, refresh curls with water or a curl refresher spray. Scrunch your hair to revitalize curls and bounce.
