How to define naturally curly hair

I get asked a lot how I style my hair. Well I thought I'd break it down to some simple steps.

I don't necessarily think that frizzy hair is bad hair. I try to embrace my frizzyness and sort of think of the curls and frizz as best friends that need to stay together.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Hair Gel
  • Hairdryer
  • T Shirt

Steps (7 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start with slightly dried hair. A tip if you want to reduce frizz is to use a t-shirt instead of a towel to dry you hair. I personally use a towel, but as I mentioned, I don't mind the frizz.

  2. 2

    Squeeze out an amount of curl enhancing hair gel into your palm. How much you need depends on length and thickness of your hair.
    I use the Kinky Muk - Curl Amplifier from the brand Muk.

  3. 3

    Scrunch the hair gel in your hair starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots.

  4. 4

    Use a hair dryer with a diffuser attached to it to dry your hair.

  5. 5

    Take a section of hair and then hold the dryer against it, once again scrunching the curls. I dry my hair until it is about 70% dry.

  6. 6

    Once you've finished with the dryer lift your hair up at the roots, and shake your hair out to give movement to the curls.

  7. 7

    Let your hair air dry the rest of the way, and enjoy your bouncy curls!
