It gets frustrating trying to keep your well-styled curls, even for a few hours. Especially if you have fine and straight hair, it’s best to not struggle with your natural curls.
Below you’ll learn how to curl straight hair for thick bouncy waves in 5 ways.
1. Reduce the number of wash days you take.
We all know that hair cleaners can dry up your hair, mainly if you use a recipe that contains sulfates. In any case, did you know it can also prevent your regular twists and waves from forming? This is because the product depletes your hair’s natural oils, which are responsible for providing it with body and development.
If not properly washed out, Cleanser can also cause your hair to crash and burn due to the added weight. Reduce the time you wash your hair to acquire (and preserve) your twists. If all else fails, soak it in cold or tepid water to remove any soil or objects that have developed.
2. Let your hair air dry.
Towels are encased in microscopic, circle-molded strands designed to absorb liquid. While this is fantastic when you’re fresh out of the shower, it’s not great for your hair because natural oils are also consumed. On the other hand, Hairdryers treat your delicate twists with extreme heat, evaporating any remaining dampness indefinitely. Something happens as a result of this: frizz. Allow your hair to air dry naturally to avoid this.
3. Massage Moroccan oil into your hair.
For a long time, Moroccan oil, otherwise called argan oil, has been used to keep hair of numerous kinds and surfaces solid and radiant. It’s beneficial on wavy hair since twists require more dampness than straight hair. Wavy hair makes it harder for the scalp’s typical oils to make it down the hair shaft because of the curves and crimps.
Argan oil is a saturating, regular substance that keeps frizz under control, the main adversary of characterized twists. You can apply it at the end of your washing process or before blow-drying your hair.
4. Curling straight hair with a Heat Curler
Assuming that you have medium or long hair, the fastest method for making twists is with warmed hair instruments like twisting wands and rollers. You can utilize them to upgrade your current twists. Ensure your hair is spotless and dry before starting, and pre-heat your rollers or twisting wand. Generally speaking, the more modest the roller or, the more slender the twisting wand, the tighter the twists.
5. Use Curl-enhancers
These are a great way to add volume to your tresses. Twist-upgrading products define your hair while reducing frizz, and they also help it stay up for a more extended period. Most twist-up things can be used on wet or dry hair, and you don’t need to use a lot of them.
When choosing a twist-enhancing item, keep your hair type in mind since you don’t want your waves to be weighed down or out of shape.
Any of the above should guide you well in your journey of curling straight hair for yourself.
