• The best Hair Products to maintain and enhance Curls


    The best hair products for curls can help to lock in waves that are beautiful and need minimum styling or maintenance.

    If you’re seeking the ideal curly hair products, you can opt for shampoos, conditioners, and hairstyling tools that have been specifically created to maintain silkiness and bounce without making your hair dull and breakable.

    Curls are of two types, viz. those we like to improve and hold and those we want to control, straighten or level.  Shampoos designed for curly hair utilize Panthenol, proteins and plant extracts to reconstruct the protein bonds developed by the amino acids.  These protein bonds can be delinked and restructured by application of heat, chemical reactions and specifically made shampoos/conditioners.

    Most hair cleansers are designed to provide sufficient cleansing and conditioning; the products designed to maintain the curls are formulated with active ingredients like wheat, corn or rice proteins to coat the hair shaft to render a better sheen or to penetrate up to the root and cortex to provide greater strength and hold.

    Hair strength is necessary to maintain tight or large waves.  While hairsprays, gels and mousse are beneficial to control of a hairstyle, environmental factors such as heat and humidity are detrimental.  Using shampoos and conditioners created to strengthen the hair and provide a soft yet lasting hold, can enhance the appearance of curls, and add sheen that has been stripped by excessive heat during hairstyling or by chemical treatments.

    Hair products containing Aloe, Chamomile, Collagen and Hydrolyzed Keratin have been proven effective in maintaining the strength of curls without pulling down the hairstyle, and this is particularly helpful for locks of longer length.  The gentle surfactants present in such products protect the hair and prevent damage.  Plant extracts help faster hair growth and promote re-growth to obtain distinctive curls and a soft hold.

  • Adding Some Curl to Your Hair


    Many ladies enjoy having straight hair. It is pretty easy to take care of, but sometimes it is nice to change it a bit without doing something as long term as getting a perm. One fabulous method to changing the hair with minimal damage is with a curling iron. It will not take hours, just the amount of time for the iron to heat up and then you can choose how much or how little curl you want. Here are several tips to help give you hair a little extra flair.

    For the best results, shower first; this removes most of the oil and daily debris out of your hair. Collect any items you want to use while styling, like hair gel, hair spray, a blow dryer, a brush, or hair clips. Next get your hair mostly dry. While it is still a little damp, add any gel or hair spray you want to use. This will help the curls last longer. If you would like, use the blow dryer to finish drying your hair, or wait until it has finished drying naturally. Once your hair is dry, divide your hair into smaller, manageable sections that will fit onto the curling iron. You can use clips or rubber bands design for hair to keep the divisions separate, but before you clip them brush out any knots or tangles. For finer hair, add some hair spray to give the curls a little longer hold time.

    It is now time to unclip a portion of your hair and start curling. Open the curling iron and place your hair in the at the base of the curling iron, nearest to where it hinges to the hand hold area. Using the other hand, gently roll the iron wrapping the hair around it until it is right next to your head. Be careful, it is hot. Putting it right against your head will hurt, so keep it a short distance away. Hold it for between 10 and 20 second then unroll the air and release it from the iron. Repeat this process with the remaining portions. When you are done, leave over parallel to the floor and flip your hair over your head, making a curtain of hair around your downturned face. Run your fingers through your hair at the base and add some hair spray if you want the curls to last a little longer. Standup straight and settle any strand that are out of place.
