If you've ever experienced Indian summer, and are born with a wavy to curly mane, you'd know the hours of attention this hair type demands to keep it well- behaved.
But it's time to say goodbye to the old woes: forget the dread that comes with summer and the humidity that accompanies it. We've hunted down the best products in the market, and the best- kept secrets to make sure you're prepared this year for some serious curl- control. Read on to find out the super quick and smart remedies that will have you flaunting your curls in no time.
7 tricks to love your twirls...
According to Rohit Solanki, Educator at TIGI India, the most important thing to keep curly hair healthy is a good amount of TLC. The hair expert shares his top seven tips with Lifestyle to help you embrace your inner curly- haired goddess with style.
1) Moisture is extremely vital for curly hair, especially for the tips. However, when people colour or straighten their hair, the humidity level breaks down, which leads to friziness. To keep your locks frizz- proof, make use of a good moisture product, such as a moisture spray, leave- on conditioner, holder cream or a mousse.2) During the day, take care not to run your fingers through your hair. You want to maintain the curliness of the texture, so scrunch it periodically instead. Take a bunch at a time and crush it in the palm of your hand to renew the twirls. Remember, pulling it will only open it!
3) Long, curly hair has its own beauty. To make the most of it, take medium- sized sections and twist them clockwise or anticlockwise. I did this on a shoot recently, and it was a sure- shot winner as the entwining helps define the hair.
4) The next time you plan to buy a hair product or try a homeremedy, keep in mind that it should be acidic in nature. This is because hair is acidic, so using a product with a similar pH level will add more shine and texture to a curly mop.
Also, always use a conditioner because its acidic composition helps soften and smoothen the hair after shampooing ( which makes it alkaline). Go for products with acidic or neutral ingredients like beer, lemon or apple cider vinegar to really pump up the shine, smoothness and curl definition.
5) Another way to control frizz is by using a good night hair cream, which gives curly hair the extra attention it needs at this time of year. Night creams act as ' softening agents' that capitalise on the fact that you're moving lesser at home. By the time you rinse or shampoo your hair in the morning, it will be shinier and more in control than before because of the extra care you've given it.
6) As far as haircuts go, internal layering is better for longer hair. Make sure your hair isn't cut with any solid lines - it'll look like one big piece of fur or a wall! You need to remove the weight from the hair, so go for a style that boasts ample layers.
7) I would even recommend a short style for curly hair! From afros ( think Solange Knowles) to bobs ( like Meg Ryan), short curly hair looks amazing. Though not many people are used to it, it's actually lesser work than a longer hairstyle. Just remember to keep the weight less at the back and heavier in front for best results. And of course, pump up on moisture control products for perfect styling!
