15 SHORT HAIR STYLES FOR CURLY HAIR

Introduction
You may wonder why some women have natural curly hair and others just use hair product to get curly hair but the answer to this is very simple, natural curly hair grows out of curved hair follicles that have a much flattened oval cross section and the degree of curliness can be determined by the amount of di-sulfide bonds between the hair proteins.

However, if you have this kind of hair just know that it can become dry, it’s hard to manage, and often frizzy but still it also has its advantages like split ends are less common with curly hair.

HOW TO STYLE

Some black women have natural curly hair and this makes it very easy for them to style and maintain it and also the black color in the curly hair is usually natural in all black women making them to really look classy and beautiful because black hair is unique. However, this lady added in some little brown color spots in her hair which probably matched her skin tone; she also has a square shaped face that really matches that messy curly hairstyle. The following steps will show you how to style this curly hairstyle;

Wash your hair with cool/warm water; you should allow the water to run through your curls until they are completely wet.
Apply a shampoo and conditioner; you must do this starting with the ends of your hair and then work your way to the scalp and scrunch the conditioner in but don’t rub it in, do this carefully so that you don’t damage your scalp.
Use a blow dryer to dry your hair; make sure you acquire one with diffuser because it will help you to gently dry those curls.
Apply curls to the top layer; you can do this by wrapping a few curls here and there individually into spirals before drying your hair. Use a curling iron to apply curls to the remaining hair layers but use moderate heat so that you don’t damage you’re your hair.
Use a hair holding spray; lastly, you can use a spray on your hair to keep it shiny and firm but remember to use a spray that is specifically made for curly hair.

FACE SHAPE:

All face shape like Oval, round, square and long can accommodate this kind of short messy curly hairstyle but still you can see that the lady featured above has a square face which greatly matches her curly hairstyle. However, women have hair textures ranging from Fine to thick density with lots of natural texture but still this curly hairstyle will work on all these hair textures.

HOW TO CARE?

Avoid wash your hair every day; you should only be washing your hair 2-4 times a week. You can also condition your hair between these washes if you like. Washing your hair daily will remove natural hair oils making your hair dry and frizzy yet curly hair require more moisture than any other hair type.
Try not to use a towel when drying your Hair; scrubbing your hair strands with the towel will cause friction which will also increase the amount of frizz in your hair when its dries. Before the shower, gently wring your hair to get some of the water out of it because this will prevent your hair from being dripping wet.
Use a blow dryer to dry hair; using a hairdryer on curly hair is a girls worst nightmare, because it will severely damage your hair. If you’re in a hurry, use a diffuser (blow-dryer attachment) by pointing this diffuser in the direction of the curl, hold the curls in your hand and gently squeeze them while drying. I also advise you not to use a hair blower in your hair too often but if you do so remember to use a heat protectant.

You can also follow the steps below to have this particular hairstyle in case you have thin hair;

HOW TO CARE?

Wash your hair carefully; please try not to wash your hair every day because these daily baths and showers will strip your hair of its natural oils. After washing your hair apply a shampoo then followed by a conditioner, massage your scalp thoroughly.
Dry your hair carefully using a blow dryer; because it can be more benefiting than air-drying if you use it correctly. When blow drying your hair, set your dryer to a cool setting and hold distance away to protect your hair from any heat. If you hold the blow dryer too close, the water in your hair can begin to boil. This is why hair dryers are known to be bad, but if you use it correctly it is very good. If you can, avoid drying your hair with heat as much as you can; it will only age your hair.
Use heat protection spray; use this spray when your blow drying hair. Remember to use a protection spray in case you’re using hot rollers or a flat iron.
Try not to brush your hair while it’s wet; you should know that wet hair is stretches easily and also has a tendency of breaking. Don’t brush your hair too much because this will only cause breakage to your hair.
Do some special treatment on your hair; like applying a deep conditioning treatments, applying a good quality hair mask or hair cream, spraying your hair with a leave in conditioner or detangler after showering and also using a leave-in conditioner for at least once in week.
