If nature has gifted you with wavy curls, then you certainly know that this coin has two sides. Curls always look unusual, give the image a certain lightness, insolence, but they can also turn into an “explosion at a pasta factory” if they are laid incorrectly. But in the modern rhythm of life, sometimes it happens that there is no time for laying with the word "completely." What do the owners of curls do? The answer is simple: choose and bring to life a haircut that does not require styling, which will not only save you from the need to daily tame your exuberant hair, but also emphasize all your advantages.
Features of choice
Choosing a suitable haircut for curly hair is much more difficult than for straight ones. It is necessary to take into account how individual strands will fall after trimming, so that sloppy vortices do not turn out.
Focus on the length of your hair. Curly curls can look completely different if you cut them short or leave them long. And also consider the size of your curls. If your hair is more wavy than curly, it will be much easier for you to choose a haircut and then style it, because, as a rule, such curls do not “fluff” when combing and do not curl with a “small demon” at high humidity.
Small curls are a more complicated task. They are naughty, always strive to stand upright or fluff. That is why a multilayer haircut will save you, which will allow the curls to lie in a certain sequence and they will not be very “capricious”. Choose any length, but it is best to leave your hair at least to the shoulders.
Varieties of haircuts
Well, now let's find out what options for haircuts that do not require styling are offered to fashionistas by stylists. Below are selected the most fashionable haircuts for hair of various lengths to date.
For long hair
Lion's mane, luxurious and chic - that’s what comes to mind when looking at long curly curls. But such wealth must be very competently looked after. Naturally curly hair has a structure different from that of straight hair: their hair follicles resemble a curved comma in their shape, due to which subcutaneous fat does not reach the ends of the hair. Therefore, they dry out, begin to split and break off, the hair becomes like straw. For such hair, nutrition and hydration with the use of special tools is very important.
As for the topic of our conversation, the following haircuts are recommended for curly ladies with long hair.
- "Cascade". A multi-layer haircut with locks of different lengths that looks great on owners of wavy or curly curls. It is usually performed with graduation. The strands framing the face are cut with a ladder. This hairstyle is suitable for any type of person, complements any style of clothing. It’s very easy to turn everyday simple styling into evening, just by combing it on top of your head or collecting your hair in a voluminous bundle. Truly a universal option.
- "Aurora". Distinctive features of this haircut: the crown of the head is trimmed with a round “cap”, slightly sloppy fringe, the bulk of the hair is trimmed with locks that smoothly transition into one another. Aurora can be cut not only on long, but also on medium hair.
- "Rhapsody". It, in essence, resembles a “cascade”. But if at the “cascade”, thanks to the thinning, the locks lie one on top of the other, then at the “rhapsody” they are more pronounced. Because of this, a visual volume is created. This haircut is especially recommended for owners of thinned hair.
For medium
The average length of curls is universal for ladies of any age. And the best haircut that can emphasize all the advantages of its wearer is a square. This haircut can be classic, it can be elongated, with asymmetry, “on the leg”. She has a lot of varieties. And in a curly version, a square becomes even more interesting and unusual.
Cut bangs or not - the choice is yours. By the way, straightening it is not necessary at all - now the most negligible bangs, disheveled, uneven, are in fashion. Choose the length and shape, focusing on the features of your face.
For short
Short curls look perky and very unusual. However, in order to wear such a haircut, it is necessary to have a slender body, regular facial features, since it very much focuses attention on details.
One of the most striking and stylish options is a garon haircut. It requires a minimum of styling: just blow dry your hair and beat it with your fingers a little. If desired, a drop of styling agent can be applied: gel, mousse or wax. But you can not do this, since the curls will take the necessary shape during the drying process.
A pixie haircut is another cool option for the young and the daring. The strands sticking out to the sides will give a mischievous and cheerful look. And if you dye them using modern technologies (highlighting, coloring), then they will appear “live” glare, which will give the image a bright personality, and hair - an additional visual volume.
The classic “bean” also looks great on short hair. However, this haircut is more likely for wavy hair than for curly hair, since too curly curls cut in such a way can form a round “afrocap”. This is not bad, this hairstyle looks quite original, but it is far from universal for everyone.
Care Tips
So, you got acquainted with those haircuts that are perfect for owners of curly hair by nature and do not require an hour of standing in front of a mirror in an attempt to tame exuberant hair.
As already mentioned earlier, curly curls have a slightly different structure than straight ones, therefore they require very special care. Here are some tips on how to care for your curls so that they remain healthy, shiny and supple.
- Use only very light shampoos and conditioners. Make sure that they do not contain weighting components, for example, silicones. When applying the rinse aid, spread it with your fingers, and it is better not to use a comb.
- After washing the curls, gently pat them with a towel. You should not squeeze them or rub them too intensively - you will only confuse them. After pressing, the hair should remain a little damp.
- If you still use styling products, choose those that do not glue curls and do not make them heavier. Apply the selected product with neat “jamming” movements, moving from the roots to the ends of the hair.
- Curls are much more sensitive to heat than straight hair. So give them a break sometimes and let them dry on their own. And when blow dry, use a special diffuser nozzle. When forming the styling, do not use a comb or brush - it is best to do this with your fingers.
- This advice smoothly follows from the previous one: since curls do not really like the hot air of a hair dryer, do not dry them to the end, as there is a serious risk of overdrying. It is better to let them remain slightly moist and dry on their own. By the way, in this case, the styling will turn out much more beautiful.
- Split ends - a headache for owners of curly hair. That is why it is recommended to visit the hairdresser at least once a month and a half. A very good procedure is carried out with the help of hot scissors, when the ends of the curls are soldered and not split.
- When choosing a comb, give your preference to a product with large rare teeth that will not be confused in your hair and tear your hair. The best option is a comb made of natural wood, which also has antistatic properties.
- Curly hair is prone to brittleness. The use of coloring agents exacerbates the situation even more. To prevent their fragility and loss, pamper your hair with various masks at least 2-3 times a week. It can be remedies with the effect of restoration, moisturizing, strengthening, as well as with nutrients. At the same time, it is not necessary to purchase expensive products in professional stores - on the Internet there are a lot of proven home recipes from simple ingredients, using which you can maintain the beauty and health of your hair for quite some time.
