Hair Care for Curls

Curly haired girls often feel at a loss with what to do with their curls, turning to straighteners or heated stylers when their natural hair texture gets too much to manage. Using appropriate hair styling products specifically for curly hair is essential to getting the most out of your curls. Most products are aimed towards glamour, beach waves or casual tresses. By making the right choices about products you will be on your way to seeing your hair the way we hairdressers do, as beautiful! So put down the straightener and read  on…

All curls look at their best when a hair care regime is followed that is tailor made for curly hair including shampoo, conditioner, styling and finishing products. Curly hair is naturally dryer so remember if you are adding curls with heat then always use a heat protecting product such as Design Pulse Iron In. This is a fantastic product offering hold as well as heat protection. 

•  Shampoo:  designed for overstressed/dry hair will give dull looking curls more lustre and bounce. A rich and indulgent shampoo will restore curls by reinfusing the structural integrity of the hair with nourishment and strength. Your curls will be shining and bouncy before you know it! Biolage Deep Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner is perfect for unruly curls, smoothing away frizz & restoring shine.

• Combating Frizz – These products make styling curls much easier because the anti-frizz prevents static by coating the surface of every hair. This smooths down the hair and is especially effective on wild & frizzy curls.A product such as Design Pulse Loosely Defined is ideal, reducing frizz, moisturising the hair and creating separation without heaviness even fine hair will not be weighed down.

  Styling mousse for curls: Work a small amount of styling mousse through your hair for springy curls with plenty of hold and shine. Mousse can also be used to bring new life to curls before it’s next wash. Design Pulse Go Big Mousse is great for strong hold, volume, body & shine.

  Hair Wax/Gel: Adding gel to towel dried hair is perfect if you are feeling retro and would like to style your curls into finger waves. Place clips in your hair where you would like the finger waves to be and allow your hair to dry with them in place. Design Pulse Switch Flicks or Rock solid Gel will do the trick. 

  Hair oil : Hair oil keeps curls moisturised and shiny as well as soft and supple. Matrix Biolage Exquisite oil is perfect and tailor made to your hair needs with strengthening, softening and replenishing oil available in the range. Apply to mid lengths and ends of towel dried hair before leaving to dry naturally or diffusing. The oil can also be used on the ends of dry hair for moisture on a daily basis.  

• Hair wax separates hair and controls fly away hair. Take care only to apply in small amounts to avoid making hair to heavy and creating an oily effect.  Apply wherever hair is fly away or to accentuate curls. Design Pulse Get Action spray wax works wonders when lightly sprayed over offending areas!

  Hairspray with light holding power are better suited to curly girls because it will not overpower the natural springiness and movement of curls. Biolage Complete Control Fast-Drying hair spray offers soft to medium control, ideal to control soft natural looking curls.
