& tips from your side of the counter........ 
Don't get stressed by trying to curl very heavy straight hair. There's little you can do to stop the weight pulling down the curl in a very short time. If you're determined it's curls you want, you have to consider a perm. For short to medium length hair, it's best to add temporary curls with tongs. A hotbrush will also help add movement. Try a volumising spray at the roots when you blowdry to avoid that 'hanging' look , or try a root perm that will add lift without adding curls. If your hair is one length or blunt cut keep the hair regularly trimmed as split ends look more obvious on straight hair. Condition only the ends of straight hair and mid length if long. Conditioner at the roots will simply make it look limp.
For extra rootlift, tip head upside down, tousle crown gently with fingerips and spray with a product such as Wella High Hair Finishing spray for volume & control. Tip head upright and don't disturb until dry. As curly hair is often delicate, especially when wet, always, always use a good conditioner and taming serum. If your hair is apt to grow 'widthways' have some layers cut into the top - roots will look fuller, sides slimmer. Hair will look altogether better proportioned. Hairspray may hold curls for longer but remember it can be very drying so don't overdo it. Product Build Up? Over use
of mousse, gels and hairsprays can leave hair looking dull
and lifeless. To combat this use a specifically designed shampoo
once a month to give hair a break. Try Hair Repair Build-Up
Remover from Swiss Formula St Ives range, which is gentle
enough even to use once a week if you're really heavy handed
with the hairspray. Smell gorgeous too. Available at most
supermarkets priced at around £3.50.

Body Building Shampoos If lank hair is your problem, see if a bodybuilding shampoo can make a difference. The ones tested were - L'Oreal Elvive Shampoo for Fine,Thin & Fragile Hair. This was excellent for adding body and shine to dull, lifeless hair. Only needed one wash and results were instant. Good value for money at around £1.99 Rated 5 out of 5 John Freida Instant Shine & Bodifier Good volumising effect that lathered well, with a really gorgeous fragrence. Around £3.50 a bottle. Rated 4 out of 5 Aussie Haircare Real Volume Shampoo This really smelled of chemicals but did do the job. Also left hair tangle free, reasonably priced at around £2.99. Rated 3 out of 5 Superdrug Citrience Volumising Plus Priced at around £1.99 this made the hair soft and shiny but it was still necessary to use some mousse for extra lift. Rated 3 out of 5 Boots Botanics Volumising Shampoo Left the hair looking visibly thicker but left behind a bit of a residue and made hair feel a little sticky. Priced around £2.50 Rated 2 out of 5
Curls For Girls! • Curly hair is naturally dry so always use a rich conditioner. • Regular cutting is essential to trim away dry ends, even if you're growing it • For extra conditioning and managability don't rinse conditioner off too thoroughly. The extra oil content will help to seperate and define each individual curl. • Over shampooing curly hair will dry it out further so try to keep washing down to twice a week. • Add volume at the roots by using a diffuser attachment on a cool setting. • To define curls in between washes, first spray with water then gently rub in a small amount of your regular conditioner and leave to dry naturally. |
