Hair Care For Different Hair Types

Wavy Hair:
Wavy hair is loved by hairdressers. It is often thick and coarse and there is lots a stylist can do with wavy hair. Wavy hair looks good when it is worn long or short. Mostly people who have wavy hair do not like it that way, they either like it poker-straight or in ringlets, the grass is always greener on the other side. But why waste time wanting what you don’t have instead of liking what you have and doing something with it so that it would look fantastic? The key is to bring out the beauty in wavy hair and that is done by dealing with two problems that you will generally face with wavy hair. The first one is static, which can create frizz, particularly on the crown of the head. The second is the lack of volume, which can cause flattening at the roots, creating an odd bell-head look.

How To Care For Wavy Hair:
You can wash thick and coarse hair but it is best if it is left unwashed for two to three days between shampoos. When you shampoo, it is not necessary to use a thickening shampoo, but it does not mean that you just use any shampoo. Wavy hair is often thick and can easily be weighed down, so it is better to use a shampoo that gives volume which provides a lift in the hair, and it will maximize bounce and will look good too. Wash your hair and follow up with a light leave-in conditioner, which provides a protective layer between the hair cuticle and the moisture that can create frizz. When it comes to drying, you can do wonderful things with wavy hair. Start by lightly pressing the towel against the hair, by patting it, but do not rub as it will make the hair frizzy. For ultimate results, use the following wave-enhancing technique:
– Apply anti-frizz serum or styling cream.
– Divide the hair into sections about one inch across.
– Using your fingers twist the hair sections into ropes and fasten them up into little pin curls on your head.
– Leave your hair to dry naturally.
– When the sections are dry, unravel and rake through with your fingers.

Top 5 Tips For Wavy Hair:

• Never ever brush your curls, if you do not want to end up having frizzy hair. Rather, sort out the tangles with the help of your fingers
• Get your hair trimmed once every six to eight weeks. This will prevent split ends to quite an extent.
• If you are caught with frizz, smoothing a tumble-dryer sheet over your locks will smooth things down.
• Now it is important for to clear up the misconception that you may have about trimming ends. Trimming ends doesn’t cause hair to grow. It keeps damage at bay. If left to themselves your splits wouldn’t stay at the ends of your hair. They would travel up the hair shaft causing irreparable damage as they moved along.
• You don’t need to go overboard, too much of a good thing can be bad. There is no need to deep condition your hair every time you wash. You will probably find that as you start to wash your hair in ways that are gentle and nurturing, it will respond by being easier to manage.
