There are many different ways of perming. From tight curls to
just slightly wavy, how about spirals, tin foiled, demi waves
root perms, rod perms of different sizes which all give different
effects.
Natural curls come in many different forms from tight curls through
loose curls to hair with just a few kinks in.
all these give totally different looks and can be various lengths,
also they can all be styled in different ways too, using grips,
slides headbands and tying long hair up.
OK your hair has great natural body, but has that frizzy look,
tends to be dull or unruly.
To maximize your hair's potential, choose a layered look (long
or short) that cuts shape into curly hair.
Try hair shiners, pomades, surface conditioners, and soft fixatives
to boost hair's shine and relax too much curl.
For very coarse, curly hair (like that of many African Americans),
chemical re-texturizing via coloring or relaxing is a good choice,
giving hair a smoother and more manageable feeling.
Deep, heat-activated conditioners are also important for curly
hair, which sometimes has a tendency towards breakage.
DEALING WITH CURLY HAIR
The only thing holding curly hair back from being fashionable
is that so many people lack the knowledge necessary to make their
curls look fabulous.
The first commandment on the path to fabulous curls is: never
brush your hair. If you use a brush, you are forcing frizz, the
extreme force needed will ydamage hair.
Instead of brushing your hair, comb through conditioner in the
shower with a wide toothed comb, and use a detangling spray.
If you are using a shampoo for normal hair, you're not doing
yourself any favours. Try Pantenes for curls
Whenever you wash your hair a cream leave-in conditioner is ideal
as it keeps curls moisturised all day.
Put bluntly, if you want nice curls, you need to use styling
products. It's always easier to style your hair after it has been
washed, as products are absorbed more effectively by damp hair.
Firstly, mousse used lightly all over will act as a base. Secondly
it is necessary to use a medium to strong hold gel to keep curls
in place. A lightweight hairspray will work wonders to keep frizz
tamed all day.
