How to Get Long-lasting Curls With Our Hair

Today, I will address the main question about curls: For what reason does my silky straight hair lose its curl so rapidly? What's happening? Additionally, what can be done?

Regardless of what sort of hair you're working with - extensions or wigs or anything else - the initial step is the most significant. You need to begin with clean hair. Pourquoi? On the off chance that your hair has any product build-up in it at all, styling it will only make it difficult. For curly/wavy hair especially, movement is a must, so deep clean the hair before you begin.

Blow out your hair. Here is where a number of us need to improve. While blowing out hair for straight looks, we frequently use tension, created by brushing downward with a paddle brush in order to create tension and hold the hair straight while the hot air dries it. This strategy results in a very smooth, flat texture. Which at times we love! However, when you’re going for curls and volume, you want your hair to have as much texture as possible. So blow out your hair without a brush, and without tension. Working in sections, simply hold the dryer a few inches from your head, and point it down until your hair dries completely. Voila! You’ll realise you’ve done it right when your hair doesn’t lay flat and looks more natural.

Part your hair into medium-sized sections with the narrow end of a comb. Working on one area at a time, gently brush the hair out. Using an adjustable-heat curling iron, roll the hair onto the curler, taking care to make sure that the ends aren’t crimped. All hair is different, and it’s essential to use your own discretion, but in general, we usually leave the heat on the hair for around 10-18 seconds.

Now, this is where the magic starts to happen. At the point when you release your hair from the curling iron, pin it to the scalp - still in a coil - to let it cool while still in the shape of the curl. No matter its texture, hair will take on whatever shape it’s in as it cools, so releasing your hair from the curler and moving on to the next section of hair right away is not advised. It will result in a weaker curl pattern because it cools down as gravity stretches it straight again.

Once all of your hair has been curled, pinned in place, and cooled, mist a medium-holding spray over your head. Once dried, delicately release each curl, and shake them out using your fingers. And there you have it! Flawless, long-lasting curls for even the finest of hair.
