Are you ready to rock your natural curls? Proper hair preparation is the key to achieving those beautiful, long-lasting curls you dream of.
Here’s how you can prep your hair to get the best results when we style it during your hair appointment.
Step 1: Start with a Detangler/leave-in Conditioner
Why You Need It: A Detangler/leave-in conditioner is essential for conditioning your hair and controlling frizz. Especially in Texas, with humidity and heat, your hair craves moisture. Without enough moisture, your hair will pull from the environment, causing frizz.
How to Use It: Make sure your hair is soaking wet. Apply the detangler generously to help with moisture retention and frizz control.
Step 2: Use a Volumizing Foam
Why You Need It: A Volumizing foam is lightweight and won’t weigh your hair down. It is the perfect pre-styler for fine hair. The foam thickens the hair follicle while not weighing it down. The end result is fuller hair without the crunch.
How to Use It: Depending on hair length and thickness, apply 2-4 pumps to damp hair and distribute evenly from roots to ends, then blow dry.
Pro Tip: While volumizing foam works wonders for wavy and curly hair types, it might not be suitable for kinky-coily hair.
Step 3: Finish with a Serum "AKA break the cast"
Why You Need It: A serum helps take the frizz out of your hair, providing “dry moisture.” This means it won’t feel wet like a mousse or leave-in conditioner but will add the necessary moisture to your curls.
How to Use It: Once your hair is dry and crunchy looking. You'll want to "break the cast" Apply a small amount of serum to your hands and gently work it through your hair. This technique is called “breaking the cast,” helps to soften your curls without causing frizz. Always have enough product on your hands to avoid frizzing out your curls.
