11 Mar How To Get Natural Curls

It’s heating up outside, and it’s time to let your curls fly free. Discovering how to get natural curls with your hair type can be a trial and error process, but different techniques can help all women achieve their ultimate curl pattern and feel great while rocking the look. With the right products, information, and dedication to your hair, you will get the #poppin curls that you need this Spring.

What You’ll Need to Get Natural Curls

Three popular methods for curl definition – the wash and go, shingling method, and finger coils – require many of the same tools:

• Cleansing Shampoo – A cleansing shampoo thoroughly cleanses your scalp of built-up oil and product, allowing you to start with a fresh canvas.
• Balancing and Restorative Conditioner – Moisture is key for curl definition. Choose a conditioning treatment that will return moisture to your hair and help you maintain soft, shiny locks. For best results, sit under a dryer for about 20 minutes to let the conditioner heal and repair your hair.
• Leave-in conditioner – Leave-in conditioner helps add moisture to your hair and feed your curls to help them “behave.”
• Oil – Lock-in all the added moisture with a lightweight oil. Find out the oil that Tish Hankerson, the owner of Salon Brazyl swears by for all her clients. It smells great and won’t weigh down your curls – what more could you want?
• Curl cream or elongating gel – Elongating gels and curl creams help bring out your best pattern while helping your curls hold their shape.
• Denman Brush – Tish swears by this brush for detangling especially on kinkier hair types. Denman brushes are a favorite among the natural hair community as they reduce detangling time, evenly distribute product, and enhance your curl definition.

How To Get Natural Curls with Popular Techniques

Wash And Go

This go-to look is quick and easy but can feel unattainable for many naturalistas. The wash and go focuses on accentuating what you already have and less on defining or styling curls. With minimal product and styling, this springtime look can basically be worn right out of the shower.

Shingling Method

Want to rock your curls while showing off your length? This method uses gel to give you bouncy curls with maximum definition. By applying the product on each strand, you get to see the full potential of your curls. Using a diffuser can help seal in the look without damaging your natural hair.

Finger Coils

Looking for some tight, bouncy coils? While this look can take a bit longer to achieve depending on the length and density of your hair, Finger Coils can last up to a week with proper care. As the name suggests, you can create this style with your fingers, but make sure you aren’t pulling too tightly.

Now you know the basics of each style, but learning how to get natural curls is a process best done with the help of a professional. Salon Brazyl believes in empowering clients to learn about their natural hair and keep it healthy. Schedule a consultation to get started on the right path of your natural hair journey.
