“Curly hair tends to be coarser, drier, and a magnet for outside moisture.”

Is there anything more gorgeous than a waterfall of long, luscious curls? Here’s how to perfect the look:

1. Wash and condition your curls with a frizz-fighting formula like anti frizz shampoo and conditioner.


2. Hydrate parched curls with a hair smoothing mask, and leave in for 5 minutes.


3. Rinse with lukewarm or cool water to help seal the hair’s cuticle.


4. Smooth frizz fighting hair serum over the ends of wet hair, taking care to avoid the roots.


5. Allow the serum to soak into your hair for a few minutes before applying a curl reviving mousse while gently cupping curls and scrunching upwards.


6. Let your hair air dry, or flip your curls upside down and blow-dry with a diffuser.


7. If, despite all your efforts to keep frizz at bay, you notice some extra poof while you’re out and about, smooth on a bit of touch up cream to tame flyaways and combat frizz on the go.

A bit more refined than the ‘80s look, a low side pony is a great way to secure unruly curls. Here’s how to get it:

1. Dampen hair and spritz on a little styling spray for curly hair.


2. Part your hair and sweep curls to one side.


3. Secure with an elastic just above your shoulder.

3. Let your hair air dry, or flip your curls upside down and blow-dry with a diffuser.
