Curls are all the rage, they have that je ne sais quoi that immediately gives more character... Long underestimated, they are now taking on their full power and are increasingly appealing to those who have naturally straight hair. Consequently, if you have straight hair and the urge to curl your hair suddenly takes hold of you, you are right to wonder how to proceed to have beautiful bouncy curls that last more than two hours. Curling your hair when you have straight locks is not always an easy task, you have to make sure you have the equipment available, the right products but above all adopt the right gestures... Once the right magic formula is applied, the result can be superbly stunning!

Different ways to curl your hair

No matter the type of hair, there are several ways to make curls. In fact, it is best to ask yourself what kind of curl you want before embarking on the great adventure of transformation. Small, tight, wavy, soft, long, English? You can also try everything, we only have one life, so make the most of it! In addition to these different types of curls, there are also different ways to achieve the desired result for beautiful hair.

Curling your hair using a hair straightener

Ideal for beautiful waves on long hair or tight curls on short hair! The hair straightener is probably the most current solution. We all (or almost) have hair straighteners at home. The hair straightener, commonly used to straighten strands of hair, can also be used as a curling iron if you know how to master it! The technique is not very difficult but requires a certain dexterity. To curl your hair with a hair straightener, you must gently wrap strand by strand around the plates, up to about a quarter before the root. Leave on for two seconds and slide the hair straightener downwards. The heated hair fiber will then take the shape of the curve applied by wrapping around the plates. You must repeat this operation on all the strands of the head for wavy hair. If you want to obtain a uniform wavy effect, simply run a wide-toothed comb over the hair to slightly undo the curls. This takes time and practice, and you rarely get it right the first time... Obviously, before using a hair straightener (or any heating device on your hair), you need to prepare your hair with a heat-protective treatment. This step is ESSENTIAL to avoid damaging the hair fiber and to preserve the scales of the strand, especially on fine hair.

Curling your hair with the right hairstyle

If you have hair that allows it (not very practical on short hair or very straight hair for example) and that easily takes the desired shape, then you can try the effect of pretty wide curls via a hairstyle! Nothing beats twists in a bun or a good braid styled to sleep in order to wake up with the magnificent curls of Vaiana. We do our hair just before sleeping, we make sure not to leave any strand of hair sticking out. Braids are also an excellent hairstyle to let your treatments sit on curly hair without fear of getting it everywhere. For a perfect hold, you can style your braids when your hair is still a little damp, this will help to fix the shape of the curls and make your beauty look last a little longer. The little tip? Sleep with a silk bonnet, this will protect your hair and allow the curls to be silky, bouncy and frizz-free!

Curling your hair with accessories

This is probably the most vintage technique, curling your hair using accessories like the famous curlers is not new. It is not uncommon to still see our grandmothers practicing it! If these little accessories were considered has-been during the 2000s, here they are gradually coming back to the forefront of the beauty scene. We find them improved and much easier to apply.

Curling your hair with a perm

It is the practical and easy solution since it is applied by a professional! The perm will allow an extra-long hold and perfect curls but above all to relegate your hairstyle to the background of your daily life. No more time wasted trying to understand the technique of the hair straightener, the setting of the curlers or even the practice of braids! With the perm, the curls can last up to six months!

The best treatments to make curls last

Once you have chosen and mastered your technique, whether it is a day-long hold or a six-month perm of beautiful waves or large curls, you need to take care of your curls to make them last! For a temporary technique, we will favor products that will help to fix the shape. So, bet on a styling mousse or a light, non-aggressive hairspray, or finish your curls with pure aloe vera gel that will also moisturize dry hair ! This completely natural ingredient fixes hair but also takes care of it, a two-in-one technique that is quite appreciable.

For those who opt for a perm, do not hesitate to ask your hairdresser for advice but keep in mind to always moisturize your hair. Make suitable masks ( Nigella oil for hair is excellent for a shiny mane), use daily sprays that nourish the fiber without greasing the scalp and above all never style dry. Use a wide-toothed comb to do it on damp hair and avoid breakage. In terms of general hair care, a perm or temporary curls do not prevent you from continuing your routines or treatments, on the contrary, it is even the best time to bring strength to your hair with a hair serum like ROSEHAIR by ROSEGOLD for example! The latter acts exactly like eyelash serum , naturally it activates growth and takes care of the fiber to make it even stronger.
