Need a change when it comes to your hair color?

Here are the hottest shades to go for this season.

Lilac

Looking for your latest pastel crush?

It’s right here!

Fans of pastel hues will absolutely adore this summery shade of lilac! It’s perfect if you’ve previously tried purple locks and are looking for something a little more subtle. Equally, if pink is your go-to but you fancy a changeup with an equally sweet finish, lilac could be the answer! We’re totally in awe of this shade and think there’s no better pastel for spring and summer. Not only will it take your locks to more contemporary heights, but it’ll also look incredible with all of those sweet summer dresses you plan on wearing in the sunshine. 

Strawberry Blond

Let’s be honest, we adore any kind of blond hair all year round! That said, when spring and summer arrives, it’s always nice to be a little more playful and colorful with our dye choices and reflect the vibrancy of the seasons! With that in mind, we fully intend to hop aboard the strawberry blond trend for 2020.

Not only is it a beautiful shade for the warmer months, but it’s also a subtle way of embracing a new, perhaps more vibrant, shade than you’re used to. This particular shade will work perfectly for those with naturally blond tresses but is achievable for light brown and brunette locks too, just ask your colorist!

Fiery Red

Hot trend alert! 

This fiery red hair is truly a thing of beauty and we are in awe. 

Though we must admit it might not be for everyone due to its particularly bold shade, those who are brave enough to try this color aren’t likely to ever turn back! It’s the ideal option when you’re wanting to try something truly bold but still in the same region as a natural hair color. If you’ve tried auburn and loved it, or you adored your pink tresses but feel you could have dared a little further, why not ask your colorist for this sizzling shade of red and celebrate the arrival of the warmer weather! 

Rainbow Drip

We know, this sounds like a delicious summery ice cream treat! Don’t worry, it isn’t. Rainbow drip hair is the latest in a long line of unusual hair trends though we have to say, we’ve fallen totally in love with it!

Unlike other more structured ways of achieving your dream rainbow color, the drip technique used here is truly unique! The dyes are individually mixed with water and then, quite literally, dripped all over sections of your hair one after the other! It is then combed through to achieve a more natural-looking rainbow effect with more fluid lines and a subtle pastel finish. We’re betting you’ll see this stunning rainbow hair taking over your Insta feed all spring and summer long!

Shadow Roots

Thankfully, the days of panicky calls to your colorist the moment your roots start to shine through are well and truly over! These days, shadowy roots are not only no problem, they’re trending! Now, to be clear, we’re not talking about harsh lines and totally varying shades here so if your white hair has a prominent line of black roots peering through, we won’t blame you for making a call to the salon.

That said, as your natural color starts to appear this time around, don’t worry about it! Simply book in to see your colorist and ask them to blend your roots into your chosen hair color for the perfect shadow root. Fewer visits between visits and money saved? We’re totally on board!

Rose Brown

We’re not saying we don’t love rose blond hair, but, rose brown hair has come out of nowhere and completely stolen our attention! This pinky-brown shade is absolutely breathtaking and the perfect way for those with brunette locks to spice them up with a little color during spring and summer!

This color is all about subtlety and the way the pink shines so delicately as it catches the light is exactly why we love it so much. It’s not an ‘out there’ shade of pink, nor is it a flat brown. It’s the quintessential blend of the two and we know you’re going to adore it! 

Warm Red

Thinking you’ve accidentally stumbled upon our list for autumn/winter hair colors?

Don’t worry, you’re still in the right place!

It’s true, warm red is definitely a color we’d usually consider as an autumn/winter choice. However, as spring and summer near, we’re loving the idea of shades that embrace the warmth of the seasons! This luxurious hair color is undoubtedly a favorite of ours and that’s not only because it’ll look great all year round.

Those who opt for it will soon notice the subtle dimensions within the color, how it looks almost brown in some lights and fiercely red in others. Style it with emerald green and vibrant purple clothing in summer to really emphasize its beauty!

Toasted Coconut

If you’re looking for the most Instagram-approved shade out there, toasted coconut hair is the color for you! Similar to shadow roots, the technique for achieving this delicious, summery color combines much darker roots that transition smoothly into beautiful, light blonde ends. It’s a much more dramatic and experimental shade of bronde meaning it’s perfect for those wanting to try a more contemporary shade than they have currently.

If we’re being honest, we absolutely can’t wait to see it take over our social media accounts!

Peach

Peach! A favorite food, and favorite hair color for the seasons ahead, what could be more perfect? We adore this shade and think it’s absolutely adorable for spring and summer. It’s soft and subtle yet vibrant enough to appear playful and reflective of the ever-changing colors all around us during this season.

Opt for a peachy-blond if you’re just starting to experiment with color, or ask your colorist for a peachy pink if you want to go for something a little closer to pastel. Whichever you choose, we know your newly colored peach locks will look incredible!

Honey Blonde

We know what you’re thinking.

Another food-inspired hair color?!

Trust us, this one’s just as gorgeous as those we’ve already mentioned in our list! Honey blonde is the ideal shade for those who love the idea of being blonde for spring and summer but want to keep a natural vibe to their tresses.

You’ll find no brassy tones or almost white shades here as honey blonde is all about creamy, buttery and of course, honey hues. We highly recommend this naturally beautiful shade for those with a love of surfer-inspired locks dried naturally in the summer breeze!

Baby Blonde

Remember those photos of you as a baby with the most incredible, shiny blond locks? Locks you could only dream of achieving today? Well, that’s baby blonde! We’re opting to go back in time (sort of) and re-claim the gorgeous untouched tresses of our younger selves with this beautiful shade. We had it once and we’re dye-ing to have it again! 

We fully intend on swishing them about all spring and summer long and therefore need to prepare for the heat!

Gem Roots

Love neon roots a la Billie Eilish? Then you’ll adore gem roots! This is the newest take on the colored roots trend and, as much as we adore brightly colored ones, we’re head over heels for this deeper, more dramatic iteration!

Inspired, of course, by gemstones, this trend is all about those deep, luxurious hues you find in natural stones and blending them into your natural hair color or one slightly lighter. Opt for your favorite color or ask your colorist for help deciding which will suit you and your natural locks best!

Deep Pink

If you loved the candy floss pink colors of last spring and summer but fancy something a little different for 2020, why not choose a glorious deep pink instead!

This color combines everything we all love about lighter pink shades but offers them in a decidedly more dramatic way. Deep pink is still just as eye-catching and theatrical yet you’re likely to find it matches easier with the items in your closet and won’t fade as quickly or easily as lighter pinks can. We only wish we’d discovered this romantic color in time for Valentine’s day!

Classic Bronde

We can safely say we’ll never fall out of love with bronde hair. With warming tones of caramel brown and sweetly blended blonde, it’s a trend that perfectly combines both colors. Using varying shades of both blond and brown, your colorist can create the ideal look for you and your skin tone. That’s the beauty of this color, it can be varied dramatically from person to person yet will still create that luxurious blend we’ve all adored for years!

If you just can’t decide between blond and brown this coming spring and summer, we highly recommend you opt for bronde, you won’t regret it!

Sandy Blond

Considering sandy blonde hair this year? Think distant beaches and cool clear waters to be instantly inspired! This trend is all about subtly warm blond tones and a natural-looking finish. Though we love it for spring, it’s simply perfect for summer.

Whether you’re jetting off to an exotic vacation destination or staying put for your summer break, you’ll feel like a goddess with this irresistible shade with a winning combination of caramel, honey, and sandy blond hues!

Natural Red

It may seem strange to recommend ‘natural’ red in a list of hair dye trends, however, natural, is exactly what you’ll be going for with this stunning hair color! A delicate blend of varying red tones will help to achieve a natural red rather than going all-in on one shade.

Ask your colorist for advice before you begin and come up with a blend of natural hues that you’re happy with together! If you’re lucky enough to be blessed with naturally red locks, we envy you and are looking to you and your locks for inspiration this spring and summer!

Dip Dyed Ends

If you thought the introduction of balayage meant you’d seen the end of dip dye you’ll be happy to know it’s a huge trend for spring and summer 2020! Go for a subtle shade that’s slightly lighter or darker than your natural color, or, opt for something more daring in a neon or pastel hue!

Ladies, your hairstyle might just be your most significant fashion statement. It’s easy to change your clothes, shoes, and makeup, but the way you style your hair can either make or break a whole look.

Have you ever wondered what message your hairstyle is sending? With the different cuts and colors available nowadays, it’s easy to style according to your personality. But there remains a style that has divided women into skeptics and believers, quite literally.

And that is the most iconic of all hairstyles: the bangs.

Some women embrace the bangs hairstyle because they were blessed with a high forehead. The bangs cover and camouflage the broad area to create a balance in the face. However, most women who prefer to wear bangs do it to be trendy and fashionable. Among the several things they have to consider is length to create the balance of facial features.

Others who don’t like having bangs usually have the opposite physical characteristics. But even if you have a small forehead, sensitive skin, or greasy hair, the good news is you can still wear bangs! Bangs have survived centuries and will never go out of style. You just have to put some effort into it.

The Language of Bangs

Using the right jargon when consulting with your stylist is essential to getting the cut that you want. You also need to understand that getting a fringe is a commitment to looking your best. Luckily, there are different types you can choose from according to your preference.

Bangs accentuate the eyes and remove attention from your forehead. It can help make an oval face appear short, camouflage specific skin issues, and ultimately boost your confidence.

For all the practical reasons for wearing bangs, the final decision has to come from you and what you think you are most comfortable with. Bangs can say more about yourself than you may be letting on.

Here are eight common types of bangs and what they say about you.

Blunt Bangs

The most basic is blunt bangs, which are bangs cut straight across. The length of the cut barely covers the eyebrows. This style fits a basic bob or long hair.

If you have blunt bangs, you carry yourself more confidently than other women your age. You have a strong fashion sense and tend to be a perfectionist. You like to keep things in order, but you are definitely versatile when it comes to your professional skills. However, when it comes to decision-making, you are likely to stay firm once you have decided.

Straightforward, disciplined, and a little conservative, a woman who wants to be seen as a no-BS kind of woman should consider the blunt bangs. 

Choppy Bangs

Unlike the blunt bangs, choppy bangs are cut at varied angles and lengths. These textured bangs are often fit for long and round face shapes and can match almost all haircuts.

If you have choppy bangs, you are a flexible, well-rounded individual who likes to have fun. You don’t mind the messy look because your confidence in your style can pull it off anyway. You can be the life of the party, but you also tend to introspect when you’re alone. Sometimes, your emotions can get too intense, causing drama for the people around you.

Compassionate, loving, and grounded, a woman who wears choppy bangs desires to be loved and flattered because she is capable of doing that and more for her loved ones.

Baby Bangs

Also known as micro bangs or mini bangs, this style cuts the bangs blunt or textured between the hairline and the middle of the forehead. Baby bangs give out a sultry appearance and fit short wavy hair or medium-length layers.

If you have baby bangs, you’ll likely be a hipster and want to stand out from the crowd. You are a rebel and prefer vintage clothes as your go-to style whenever you are seen on the streets. Your style is to leave a lasting impression on anyone you meet, but couldn’t care less if it’s a good one or a bad one.

Artsy, quirky, and creative, a woman who wears baby bangs wants to appear edgy, but is actually sweet and caring on the inside.

Curtain Bangs

Center-parted bangs look like a curtain that frames your face, thus the name. Typically, curtain bangs have a staggered length that starts short from the center and is longer in the outer corners. This style is ideal for hair updos and women with long, thin faces.

If you have curtain bangs, you are observant and always ready for worst-case scenarios. You care about the opinion of others and have been called a people-pleaser in the past. You don’t have a fixed style in terms of clothes or makeup, but you like to keep it simple because accessories are your middle name.

Carefree and crafty, your friends always come to you for support because of your sincere and positive attitude.

Soft-Textured Bangs

Soft-textured bangs are closed curtain bangs. This style covers the whole of the forehead with the corners of the bangs hitting the eyelashes. Others call it feathery or wispy bangs due to its lighter look compared to full-on, blunt-cut bangs.

If you have soft textured bangs, you are charismatic and adventurous. You are young at heart and attractive, which makes you good at flirting. However, most of your problems arise from miscommunication. You tend to beat around the bush and aren’t always straightforward with your decisions.

Playful and on-the-go, a woman who prefers soft-textured bangs is curious about the world and takes life one day at a time.

Wavy Bangs

Curly and wavy bangs are similar styles that usually follow the hair type. These bangs are cut straight across and always styled with some weight or volume. Wavy bangs are perfect for high, broad foreheads to create a full appearance on the face.

If you have wavy bangs, you likely have attractive facial features and a matching personality to boot. You are always smiling and seeing the best in people, and others may even assume that strangers are your best friends. You are conscious about your body and often get into the latest diet fads, even though you know that you just need to be comfortable in your own skin.

You are bubbly, approachable, and eloquent. People always wait for what it is you’re going to say.

Side-Parted Bangs

Also called side-swept bangs, this style is typical among women who trim their hair at a specific length over and over. The side part directs layered bangs to fall down one side of the face, giving an asymmetrical look.

If you have side-parted bangs, you have no issues blending in with the crowd and like to keep to your comfort zone. However, you are a very determined person who will go out of your way to help someone out. Your style is polished, elegant, and consistent. Others turn to you when they need diplomacy in situations because you seem to never lose your cool.

Gorgeous and mature, a woman who wears her bangs swept to the side is thoughtful and smart, with the occasional humor perfect for handling groups of people.

Fluffy Bangs

Fluffy bangs are teased to float almost weightlessly over the forehead. The thick, straight-cut bangs are considered retro, with only actresses and models attempting to pull off the look nowadays.

If you have fluffy bangs, you are oozing with self-confidence and are born to perform. Your style is known to be classic vintage, with natural makeup, bright red lipsticks, or a shiny lip gloss. You keep your hair in a tidy updo and dye it a solid color. However, you can be a bit fussy, especially if things aren’t being done your way.

Traditional, strict, and extremely focused, a woman who can pull off the fluffy bangs are attentive and loyal to their families and friends.

Bang Care Tips

Anybody who says that bangs are relaxed and stress-free must have never experienced having them. It can be incredibly high maintenance and would require hair products, styling tools, and even regular visits to the salon. While it definitely gives off a distinct aura, young girls and women have to work hard to earn that perfect look.

To start, you should have already considered your lifestyle when choosing to sport a fringe. If you are a heavy sleeper and prone to snoozing your alarm clock, you likely won’t have enough time to fix up your hairstyle for the whole day.

Knowing your hair type will help you identify which hair products to stock up on and habits to avoid. For example, your bangs should be kept dry at all times to maintain its form. When you touch them, the oil from your hands can add to the greasiness. This also includes your moisturizer and sunscreen, even without makeup.

If you don’t like to over-wash your hair, invest in a good dry shampoo to make sure your fringe keeps its texture and stays in top shape. Dry shampoo uses starch-based active ingredients to soak up the scalp oil and sweat from your hair. This makes it easier to style minus the hassle. However, make sure you wash your bangs every two days to keep it from acting out.

Are you wondering about hairsprays? 

Hairsprays tend to keep your hair together when applied carelessly and in bad weather. Still, you might be able to find humidity-resistant hairsprays that can do the trick.

The most important thing you need to accept is that breakouts are inevitable. When you have bangs, your forehead is automatically prone to acne, especially in warm weather or if you regularly work out. Your body naturally produces sweat, and you must keep your forehead clear when doing physical activities.

And when there’s sweat, there’s frizz. Expect your hair to be harder to control during the summer months when it’s hot, and your bangs have nowhere else to go but down and flat. Opt for hairstyles that would fare better outside, or avoid going out if you’re more concerned about your fringe’s health.

Lastly, wearing bangs isn’t for everyone. No matter how you tell your stylist to give you the French girl fringe or side-swept bangs to fit your bob, it will never look exactly the same as your fave celeb, at least in the beginning.

How Do I Grow Out My Bangs?

Now, if you’ve had bangs for quite some time, you must have felt the itch to grow them out at some point. But anyone who has pulled off a fringe understands that growing them out is even harder than keeping them!

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be as awful as you imagine. Here are four great tips to help you grow them out and transition into a non-fringe hairstyle.

1. Follow your regular trim schedule to avoid split ends and damaged hair.
2. Style them differently each time by applying wax or pomade, if needed.
3. Keep the moisture in by washing regularly.
4. Use hair accessories like scarves, headbands, and pins to maintain a clean look.
5. Twist them up into braids at their most awkward phase.

The good news is, with the right determination and patience to pull off your desired look, your bangs will grow out the way you want it to. Whether you are sporting bangs or moving on from them, always follow the tips from your stylist!

But I Don’t Have Bangs…Yet

If you are not familiar with your face shape and hairstyle, consult with a senior stylist who has experiences dealing with hair types of different customers. Your personality and lifestyle play a massive role in determining the kind of bangs that will best suit you, and it may not entirely depend on your facial features.

For example, if you are an athlete, you want to have long bangs that are easy to put up with a headband or pins. It would be troublesome to keep wiping wisps of hair that fall loose on top of your forehead because they’re either too short or too thick.

This also applies to women who wear a headscarf in their religious practice. Nothing stops you from enjoying any hairstyle that you want. Still, it is vital to consider the level of maintenance you are willing to commit once you have bangs.

At the end of the day, your bangs should give you more confidence despite camouflaging some of your physical features. You know yourself better than anyone else, so choose your bangs wisely and confidently!

In need of Valentine’s Day hair inspiration?

Look no further…

If your go-to styling tool is a hair straightener, then you’ve come to the right place! Here are nine hot hair straightener tips for achieving super sexy Valentine’s Day hair.

1. Prep Your Hair Before Styling it

Chances are that when you’re in a rush, you don’t spend much time prepping your hair before styling it. However, if you want your locks to look flawless for Valentine’s Day, you’ll need to give them some extra TLC.

Prep begins in the shower – start by using a hydrating shampoo. Follow up with our Moisturizing Conditioner for hair that looks and feels soft and glossy.

Planning on straightening second-day hair? That doesn’t mean that you can skip the prep. Some form of heat protection is still a must to keep your hair feeling protected while you use your hair straightener. Heat protection sprays work well, as do hair serums. So long as the product you use forms a barrier between your hair and the heat, you’re good to go.

2. Use the Right Hair Straightener for Your Hair Type

If you want to give your Valentine’s Day hairstyle a salon-quality finish, then you’ll need to make sure that you’re using the right hair straightener to create your look.

How do you pick the best hair straightener for your hair?

There are a couple of things to consider…

Plate Size

If your hair is short or fine, then large, wide plates will feel clumsy as you try to manipulate them through your mane. Instead, you’d be better off with a small hair straightener.

On the other hand, if your hair is long or thick, then a mini flat iron will make the task of straightening your hair feel super tedious. You’d be better off with larger plates that allow you to work with bigger sections of hair at a time.

Plate Material

In addition to plate size, plate material matters too.

Titanium plates are known for heating up faster and producing a more intense heat. If your hair is thin or delicate, then titanium plates may end up causing damage, which is never a good look for Valentine’s Day.

However, if your hair is thick and coarse, titanium plates could be just what you need.

If titanium plates sound like they’d be too much for your hair, then ceramic plates would be a better option. With ceramic plates, negative ion technology, and far infrared technology, this straightener not only ensures that your hair looks good, but it will also leave your locks feeling so healthy.

3. Make Sure That Your Hair Straightener is Clean

How often do you clean your hair straightener?

The correct answer to that question would be a quick clean after every use, with a deeper clean once a month.

However, the majority of people neglect to sufficiently clean their flat irons. This leads to oil and product residue building up on the plates. As a result, your hair straightener won’t work as well as it should, and you could also end up damaging your hair.

Even if you’re not ready to commit to a regular cleaning schedule, make sure that you give your hair straightener a good clean before working on your Valentine’s Day hairstyle.

How should you clean your hair straightener?

It’s easiest to do this while your straightener is warm, so plug it in and let it heat up to its lowest heat setting. Then, turn it off and wait for a few minutes. While you wait, dampen a cloth with a cleaning solution. Rubbing alcohol works well too. Wipe down the plates of your straightener, before going over it once again with a cloth dampened in water.

4. Never Use a Hair Straightener on Damp Hair

Most people that use a hair straightener will be familiar with that dreaded sizzling sound that occurs when the plates pass over damp hair. Even if you think that your hair is completely dry, a tiny amount of moisture can still cause that reaction, and this spells bad news for your hair.

Not only is damp hair so much more susceptible to damage from heated styling tools, but straightening damp hair will leave your hair rough and frizzy, rather than sleek and smooth.

5. Hotter Isn’t Always Better

Many people assume that the hotter the temperature of their hair straightener, the more effective it will be. However, this isn’t the case.

Those who have fine or processed hair will only end up causing damage if they use an overly high temperature. Instead, a range of 350-375°F would be better.

However, if you have very thick or coarse hair, then 350°F likely won’t have much of an impact. You’ll need a temperature range of 400-450°F.

Of course, different hairstyles benefit from different temperatures too. If you’re trying to straighten bangs or create subtle waves in your face-framing tendrils, then a lower temperature would be more effective.

6. Don’t Limit Yourself to Straight Styles

While most people purchase a hair straightener because they want to straighten their hair, this styling tool is actually extremely multi-functional. Not only can it give you sleek, straight locks, but it can also create the most beautiful curly looks too.

Soft curls or waves are perfect for a romantic Valentine’s Day vibe. If you haven’t yet mastered this technique, read on for a few tips. However, you’ll also need a hair straightener with curved ends. This will help to create those curvy waves, instead of bending your hair into hard angles.

Using a Hair Straightener to Curl Your Hair

If you’d like to rock glamorous Hollywood-esque curls for Valentine’s Day date night, your hair straightener is all you need.

Start by straightening a length as usual. However, once you get to the part that you want to add a curl to, pivot your straightener 180 degrees, before running it down the rest of that length. As you release, a bouncy curl will appear.

Using a Hair Straightener to Create Waves

When creating waves in your hair, you’ll need to master the C-curl technique. It involves forming a C-shape with your straightener while you run it through each section of hair.

Once you’ve learned how to do this, you’ll be able to create everything from casual beachy waves to polished, professional waves.

Using a Hair Straightener to Crimp Your Hair

Planning a 90s-inspired look for Valentine’s Day?

Crimped hair is a fun throwback that has a sexy edge to it. Even better, it couldn’t be easier to do. You’ll need to braid the sections of your hair that you want to crimp, before heating each braid up with your hair straightener.

Once you undo the braids, your hair will be perfectly crimped.

7. Sectioning Your Hair is a Must

If you want your Valentine’s Day hairstyle to look polished rather than rushed, then sectioning your hair before using your hair straightener is a must. This tip applies no matter the style you’re creating, be it curls or sleek, straight locks.

Start by splitting your hair into at least four sections. Then, when it comes to the actual straightening, work on one-inch sections at a time.

Don’t be tempted to cheat by adding more hair in because this only means that your hair straightener won’t be able to evenly penetrate all of your hairs. As a result, some of your hair won’t be styled, leaving you looking messy.

8. Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Let’s face it – when painstakingly straightening long and thick hair, it’s easy to get bored. However, no matter how much your patience may be wearing thin, don’t try to speed things up.

Ideally, you want to pass over each section of hair as few times as possible. Run your hair through your straightener too quickly and your strands won’t heat up properly, meaning that you’ll only need to go over them again, and maybe again.

So, when using a hair straightener, take your time. Work through your hair slowly and meticulously, so that your straightener has enough time to do its job. Not only will your hair look better as a result, but it’ll also feel so much healthier too.

9. Lock Your Style in Place With a Spray

Once you’ve created your Valentine’s Day style, it’s time to lock that look in place. Whether you’re rocking straight locks or a curly mane, some hairspray will give your tresses some extra gloss and volume, while preventing any strands from straying.

If your Valentine’s Day hairstyle isn’t too complicated, a couple of light spritzes are all you’ll need. However, if you’ve gone all out with a complex up-do, then give your hair a few layers of the spray to ensure extra hold.

Summary

A hair straightener is such a versatile styling tool. So long as yours is high-quality, you’ll be able to use it to create so many different sexy styles that are perfect for Valentine’s Day. Whether you end up with curls, a straight ‘do, or something in between, keep Beautyfrizz’s tips in mind while styling to give your look a professional finish.

The post How to Use Your Hair Straightener For Sexy Valentine’s Day Hair appeared first on BeautyFrizz.

As a young woman who loves experimenting with different hairstyles, I’m always on the lookout for high-quality styling tools that can help me achieve the perfect look. Recently, I came across the Evalectric Classic Styler. This hair straightener promises to deliver sleek, straight hair with minimal damage. Intrigued by its claims, I decided to give it a try. And now, after using it for several weeks, I’m ready to share my thoughts on this popular styling tool.

The Pros

Let’s start with the positives. The Evalectric Classic Styler is a well-designed, user-friendly tool that has several features that make it stand out from other hair straighteners on the market. Here are some of the things I love about it:

Quick heating: The styler heats up within seconds, which means you don’t have to waste time waiting for it to reach the desired temperature. This is a huge plus for me, as I’m always in a rush in the mornings.

Smooth plates: The plates of the styler glide smoothly over the hair without snagging or pulling due to the ceramic material. I’ve found that this results in less breakage and frizz than with other straighteners I’ve used.

Adjustable temperature: The styler has adjustable temperature settings, which means you can customize the heat to your hair type and texture. I appreciate this feature because high heat can easily damage my fine hair.

Long cord: The cord of the styler is longer than average, which makes it easier to use and maneuver, especially if you’re styling your hair in a room without a nearby outlet.

Vibrant color: Okay, this may seem like a minor detail, but I love the fact that the styler comes in a vibrant pink color. It adds a fun pop of color to my styling routine and makes me feel happy whenever I use it.

The Cons

Of course, no product is perfect. There are a few drawbacks to the Evalectric Classic Styler that are worth mentioning. Here are some of the cons I’ve experienced:

Limited styling options: The styler is primarily designed for straightening hair, so if you’re looking for a tool that can also curl or add waves to your hair, this may not be the best option for you. Although, it does feature floating plate technology. So, with some practice, I’m sure other styles could be mastered.

No automatic shut-off: Unlike some other hair straighteners on the market, the Evalectric Classic Styler doesn’t have an automatic shut-off feature. Forgetting to turn it off when you’re done using it could be a safety hazard. Therefore, you need to remember to turn it off every time to avoid any potential danger.

Price: The styler is on the pricier side compared to other hair straighteners on the market. While I think the quality justifies the cost, it may not be feasible for everyone’s budget.

Final Thoughts

Overall, I’m a big fan of the Evalectric Classic Styler. Its quick heating, smooth plates, adjustable temperature, and long cord make it a joy to use. Also, I’ve noticed that my hair looks smoother and shinier since I started using it. While there are a few cons to consider, such as the lack of automatic shut-off, I think the pros outweigh the cons. This is especially true if you’re someone who simply wants a straightener to achieve a sleek, straight look.

One thing I appreciate about Evalectric as a brand is their commitment to using high-quality materials and innovative technology in their products. The Evalectric Classic Styler is no exception. I’ve been impressed with the quality of the tool since I started using it. Additionally, the brand offers a wide range of hair styling tools and accessories. So, if the Classic Styler isn’t quite what you’re looking for, there may be other options that better suit your needs.

Another thing to keep in mind is that hair straightening tools can be damaging to hair if not used properly. I’ve found that the Evalectric Classic Styler causes less damage than other straighteners I’ve used. But it’s important to use heat protectant products and avoid using the tool too frequently to minimize the risk of damage.

In terms of affordability, the Evalectric Classic Styler is definitely an investment. However, I believe that the quality justifies the cost, especially if you’re someone who frequently styles their hair. Furthermore, the tool’s one-year warranty gives me peace of mind. I know that I can have it repaired or replaced if something goes wrong.

Final Verdict

All in all, I would highly recommend the Evalectric Classic Styler. Especially if you’re someone looking for a high-quality hair straightening tool that delivers sleek, shiny results. It may not be suitable for those looking for a tool that can also curl or wave hair. However, its quick heating, smooth plates, adjustable temperature, and long cord make it a standout product in the straightening category. Additionally, its vibrant color and user-friendly design make it a joy to use, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement in the overall health and appearance of my hair since I started using it. If you’re in the market for a new hair straightener, the Evalectric Classic Styler is definitely worth considering.

In case, you are interested whether celebrities look amazing, wearing their natural hair colors or not, you had better have a look at some of them and you will have a clear image. Here are the best celebrity natural hair colors you could never imagine in your life.

1.  Kristen Stewart’s Strawberry Blonde Hair Color

Kristen Stewart is another celebrity who loves to experiment with different hair colors and styles, and this makes it difficult to guess what her natural hair color really is. 

In this case, the answer is a dirty blonde, but this is a color that Stewart has never really been very fond of. Stewart prefers bolder and more vibrant shades, whether this may be a deep brown or a platinum blonde, and these extremes do suit her so well.

2.  Leighton Meester’s Blonde Hair Color

Everybody remembers Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl, with her hair, along with those signature headbands, being a key part of that character.

However, did you know that Leighton Meester, the actress who played Blair, is actually a blonde?

The actress first dyed her hair brown when auditioning for the Gossip Girl role, in order to help the show’s creators envisage whether or not Leighton was suitable for the part.

After the show came to an end, Meester kept her brunette locks, loving the sophistication that this brought to her look.

Wondering if she ever went back to blonde?

As a matter of fact, she did in 2018, for about three months. However, rather than going for her natural honey blonde color, Meester opted for the trendy platinum shade that many others were sporting.

The color looked stunning on the actress, although she has now returned back to her signature brunette shade.

3.  Brooklyn  Decker’s Auburn Hair Color

When people first started to hear about Brooklyn Decker, the model-turned-actress featured a head of dark blonde locks.

However, her true hair color is actually more of a sun-kissed auburn, and is definitely more brown than blonde.

Decker has since returned to her roots, although she has ensured that her hair always has a tint of red in it, as this beautifully complements her coloring.

4.  Katy Perry’s Blonde Hair Color

Katy Perry’s hair has been so many colors over the years, and many fans have no idea what the singer’s natural hair color actually is.

You would probably never be able to guess, either…

Katy Perry’s natural hair color is, as the singer puts it herself, a “dishwater squirrel brown.” 

Perry has always disliked her natural shade, finding it boring in a way that didn’t suit her personality.

So, ever since the age of around 15, Perry has been experimenting with just about every hair color you could imagine.

Wondering which her favorite hair shades are?

Grunge green was a color that Perry particularly enjoyed, while the shocking blue shade she sported for quite a while was also so much fun. Plus, as Perry says, going for a bold hair color means that you do not really need much when it comes to hair accessories!

5.  Sofia Vergara’s Dirty Blonde

Sizzling brunette Sofia Vergara has sported brown locks ever since she first appeared on television show Modern Family.

However, did you know that Vergara is actually a natural blonde?

This all changed when she first began auditioning for television shows in America. As a Latin woman, she found that she needed to play towards stereotypes a bit more, going for the brunette look that Latin women are expected to have. 

After going brunette, Vergara found that she was considered for more roles, and it was not long before she ended up playing Gloria on Modern Family.

Vergara decided to stick with her brunette locks, although she does frequently post throwback photos on her social media accounts to remind fans of what her blonde hair used to look like.

Who knows, Vergara might decide to go back to being a blonde once Modern Family is no longer filming!

6.  Emma Stone’s Blonde Hair Color

Most often seen with a head of copper hair, it would be easy to believe that Emma Stone is a natural redhead.

However, this isn’t actually true…

Emma Stone’s real hair color is blonde.

However, the actress has quite a fair skin tone, and believes that her coloring is more akin to that of a redhead than a blonde. After dyeing her hair darker for the first time in her early teens, Stone loved the results, and has stuck to darker shades ever since. 

7.  Angelina Jolie’s Dirty Blonde Hair Color

It would be easy to believe that Angelina Jolie is a natural brunette, especially since her hair has been this color since the star was about four years old.

However, Jolie is naturally a blonde, although a dark blonde rather than a light one. This is something that she got from her father, but her mother dyed Jolie’s hair darker at the age of four, and loved how it looked.

As Jolie grew older, she agreed with this, and ended up keeping her brunette locks all the way through adulthood.

8.  Olivia Wilde’s Blonde Hair Color

Actress Olivia Wilde is known for her beautiful brunette locks, but this isn’t actually her natural hair color.

Olivia is a natural blonde, but never liked the presumptions that people would make about her because of this.

As a young girl, Wilde was extremely intelligent and grew up around the political scene of Washington.

In order to be taken seriously, she felt she had to ditch her blonde hair and go brunette instead.

Did it work?

Wilde believes that it did, and that people now treat her in the way in which she should be treated.

Did you know that Wilde also changed her last name for this reason too?

Her parents, as well as Wilde herself, wanted her to have her own identity outside of her family. After graduating from college, the actress changed her surname from Cockburn to Wilde.

9.  Lady Gaga’s Dark Hair Color

Lady Gaga is famous for her crazy hair colors and accessories, and people gave up trying to guess her natural hair color long ago.

Well, it has now been revealed…

Do you want to know what it is?

Lady Gaga’s is a natural brunette, and it is a shade of brown that many women would be proud of.

So, why does Lady Gaga keep her natural hair color hidden so much?

It all comes down to the difficult times that Lady Gaga has faced in her life. In order to properly deal with these, Gaga turned to wigs and extravagant makeup to cover up her true feelings. When she didn’t want to live life as herself, she would simply create a new persona by transforming her hair and her face, and this is what would help her to get through each day.

Did it work?

Of course it did! Gaga is such a huge success today.

In fact, she felt brave enough a few years ago during a performance in London to remove her wig in front of her audience and reveal the brunette locks beneath.

10.  Kelly Osbourne’s Blonde Hair Color

Just like with some of the other celebrities on this list, Kelly Osbourne has frequently changed up her hair color, and has never been afraid to try some of the more bold and unusual shades out there. Whether it may be neon orange or hot pink, Osbourne manages to pull off these shocking colors.

While this may be the case, Osbourne’s favorite shade has to be the pretty lilac color that she has had for quite a few years now, with this shade becoming iconic with her celebrity status. Back when Osbourne dyed her hair lavender, it was considered to be quite an outrageous thing to do, with not many people opting for dyes in shades such as that.

However, this only made Osbourne feel even more empowered.

Now, Osbourne feels as though it is time to return to her roots…

In this case, they would be blonde roots, or golden blonde to be specific.

Although Osbourne’s current blonde shade is more platinum than golden, the blonde suits her extremely well, and this may be a color that Osbourne sticks with for a while longer.

11.  Britney Spears’ Brunette Hair Color

When Britney Spears first made it big, her blonde locks became just as famous as the singer did.

However, it would surprise many fans to know that Spears is actually a natural brunette. To be more specific, a light brunette, with her natural hair texture being slightly tousled and wavy.

It was around 1998 when Spears went full blonde, and she kept this color up for several years after that. Of course, just like every other celeb, Spears did experiment with different wigs and dyes, with everything from black to purple making an appearance. However, Spears would always return back to blonde.

While this may be the case, Spears has recently begun returning to her natural color for special occasions. The brown suits her extremely well, giving her look a fresh and sophisticated edge.

12.  Anna Paquin’s Brunette Hair Color

Anna Paquin’s moment of fame began when she was cast to play Sookie on True Blood.

The character was a bubbly blonde, and although Paquin really wanted the role, she worried that, as a natural brunette, she wouldn’t be able to pull off the blonde properly.

However, after Paquin landed the role, she sat with a team of hairstylists and looked into a wide range of different colors, before picking the blonde that would perfectly highlight her features.

Paquin kept this shade throughout the filming of the show, but, in 2014, once the show was over, Paquin decided that she wanted another change.

Which shade did she go for?

Paquin decided to be brave, and dyed her hair different shades of purple, blue and turquoise. As a teenager, Paquin always wished that she could be a mermaid, and opting for these shades helped her to feel like a mermaid as an adult.

If you’ve never gone ombré with your hair before, then this is something you definitely need to try. Ombré shades became trendy a good few years ago, and it doesn’t seem as though they’re going to get less popular any time soon.

What exactly is ombré?

It’s a French word that means shaded in English. It refers to hair that is usually darker at the top, but turns lighter from mid-shaft down to the ends.

Not sure if the look would suit you?

It suits just about everyone! Here are some beautiful celebrity ombré hairstyles to give you some inspiration.

Jourdan Dunn

The ombré look tends to be easiest to pull off on long hair.

Why?

Because the shades that you pick will have more space in which to transition into each other.

Of course, that’s not to say that the ombré look can’t be pulled off on shorter styles too, which is exactly what Jourdan Dunn has done.

Want to know the secret to achieving the perfect ombré look on a shorter cut?

Dunn’s hairstylist says that the key is to add ombre highlights in too, starting just a couple of inches below the roots. 

This will reduce any harshness when it comes to contrasting colors, making the transition look just as smooth as it would have done on long hair. 

Whitney Port

Whitney Port knew exactly how to rock the ombré look quite a few years ago.

If you ever watched The Hills or The City, then you will likely remember her long, blonde, ombré locks. Port continued on with the ombré look after the shows were done filming, with the shading getting even more flawless as the years went on. Port agrees with this herself, saying that her ombré hair has “just progressively got better”. 

This ombré style is one that looks quite natural, with a light, sun-kissed vibe. It’s ideal for summer too, although you could go for icier shades if you wanted to give this look a try in the winter.

Ciara

While Whitney Port’s ombré hairstyle is quite subtle, Ciara’s is all about contrast and drama.

Ciara is a celebrity that has never been afraid to experiment with her hair, but the ombré look is one that she returns to time and time again. This means that she has had ombré colors on a variety of different cuts, in a variety of different shades, such as:

• Black and golden-blonde on long, wavy locks
• Dark brown and a sun-kissed blonde on long, wavy locks
• A medium-brown and a dark, honey blonde on a layered, wavy bob 

Ciara has moved through these looks quite gradually, giving her hair time to adjust to being lightened. This is definitely the way to go if you have dark hair and want to move to a lighter shade without causing too much damage.

Jessica Biel

Are you a natural brunette?

If so, then you probably agree that making the move from dark to light can sometimes be quite intimidating.

This is where the ombré look becomes so useful, giving you the chance to get used to this change gradually.

Jessica Biel is a natural brunette, but added a warm, honey blonde to the ends of her hair. The transition is quite gradual but there is still a high amount of contrast, giving the shade an alluring and striking effect.

Hilary Duff

Many don’t realize that Hilary Duff first went ombré back in 2011.

However, this wasn’t blonde – instead, Duff went for an ombré bronde, with a darker brown at the top and a dark blonde at the bottom.

Although the style was quite flattering on the actress, she went back to blonde soon after, and hasn’t returned to being a brunette ever since.

Of course, the ombré was something that she didn’t leave behind…

She has chosen ombré shades in a number of colors over the years, most recently with dark blonde at the roots and a lighter blonde at the ends.

This all changed quite recently, after the birth of her second child. Duff decided to go fully platinum blonde, and only time will tell if she returns to ombré once again. 

Hailey Baldwin

Hailey Baldwin first started dyeing her hair when she was 14, and has since then tried just about everything you could imagine. From pink to gray, Baldwin is no stranger to experimenting with color.

While Baldwin has managed to pull off pretty much all of those looks impeccably, her ombré styles have been some of her finest.

With a natural brown at her roots, Baldwin opts for anything from blonde to light pink for the ends, giving her hair a beautiful contrast.

You may have noticed how bouncy and shiny Baldwin’s hair looks too, and are probably thinking…

How does she manage to keep her hair so healthy when she dyes it so often?

Baldwin books herself in for regular hair treatments at the salon, and uses at-home treatments in between salon sessions. At those salon visits, Baldwin makes sure that any dead or split ends are cut off, as this keeps her hair looking and feeling healthier. She also regularly applies coconut oil through her hair, to keep it hydrated, moisturized and protected. 

Leighton Meester

Gossip Girl fans may still associate Leighton Meester with all of those preppy headbands, but the actress has had many hair transformations since then. 

Meester has gone for ombré a few times over the years, with her first foray into this world being in 2014.

It was soon after Meester had cut her hair into a long bob, going for a deep red shade. She happened to also have some blonde highlights running through her hair, and left these in her ends to give her style an ombré look.

A couple of years later, she went for ombré again, but this time with more of a beachy vibe. She stuck with a brunette around her roots, with this turning into a light blonde towards the ends. She kept it quite wavy and messy too, which added to its boho attitude.

Ashley Benson

Ashley Benson first gave the ombré look a try a few years ago, with a darker blonde at the roots and a light blonde at the ends.

This was after having completely blonde locks, and the ombré gave her just the right amount of edge and contrast.

She has returned to these shades numerous times since then, with the ombré being her go-to style.

In fact, Benson has gone back to ombré once again, but with a shade that is slightly more unconventional…

This time, her blonde roots transition into a bright pink. It’s almost neon, but not quite, and looks incredible with her wavy long bob. 

Alexa Chung

Alexa Chung is another celebrity who has been a long-time fan of ombré.

She was first spotted with an ombré look in 2015, with the contrast being quite minimal. Since then, she has experimented further with this style, but always tends to keep her hair either wavy or curly when going ombré.

Wondering if wavy hair is better suited to the ombré look than straight?

Yes, most would agree that ombré tends to work better on wavy or curly hair.

Why?

Because when your hair is straight, the transition between your hair shades becomes so much more obvious, giving it a contrast that can often look quite harsh. Any imperfections will also be much more visible.

On the other hand, curls and waves make the transition appear much more gradual, giving your hair a much more natural look.

One of Chung’s most recent ombré looks was on quite a short bob, with her hair falling just above her chin. It is actually quite difficult to truly pull off an ombré style with hair this short, but Chung achieved it perfectly. Again, she kept her hair tousled and wavy, which would have helped to hide the harsh contrast in the middle of the shade transition.

Sarah Jessica Parker

Sarah Jessica Parker’s ombré hair is pretty much the actress’ signature look. It is a style that she is known for, and is one that so many try to replicate.

What makes Sarah Jessica Parker’s ombré so special?

The fact that it looks so natural and subtle. Of course, it does help that her hair is quite long, as well as wavy, both of which lend themselves extremely well to the ombré look.

Although the exact shades that the actress has gone with over the years has varied slightly, she has always stuck to shades of blonde and brown.

Most recently, her ombré locks start off with a dark brown, before gradually turning into a lighter ash blonde. This really flatters her face, lighting it up in all the right places.

Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway fans love the actress’ thick, luscious hair, with her locks always looking beautifully healthy.

This gives Hathaway the chance to experiment with quite a wide range of styles, and she has chosen ombré a few times now.

The actress does like to keep her look quite natural, so stuck with brown for her roots. This then turns into a warm honey blonde at the tips, with her hair falling just above her shoulders in a long bob.

Tempted to go for a bob too?

Make sure that you cut your hair before you dye it ombré.

Why?

Because the transition of your ombré shades will be chosen based on your cut, so that the colors can properly flatter your face. If you cut your hair after dyeing it, you will interfere with this.

Just like many of the other celebs on this list, Hathaway goes for a wavy texture with her ombré colors, helping the style to look even better.

Lauren Conrad

The second star from The Hills to appear on this list, Lauren Conrad is no stranger to the ombré look.

She has gone for this style many times now, and while she does get quite creative when it comes to hair colors, Conrad tends to stick with blonde when she opts for ombré shades.

However, Conrad is quite conscious about minimizing damage to her hair, understanding how detrimental frequently dyeing your hair can be.

So, Conrad sometimes uses a little trick to achieve the ombré look – one that doesn’t require any hair dye at all…

Conrad makes use of light blonde hair extensions, placing these into her hair underneath her natural, darker blonde shade. 

This then gives her the ombré effect, as well as some extra length and volume that make her hair so much more fun to style.

Jamie Chung

Jamie Chung is a natural brunette, but, a few years ago, wanted a way to lighten up her look in time for summer.

So, she decided to go ombré.

What color did she choose?

Chung stayed with her natural shade at the roots, with this turning into a dark honey blonde at the tips. The contrast beautifully framed Chung’s face, and Chung kept her hair slightly wavy while she was rocking this look.

Of course, in order to keep her whole look in-line with her new hair, Chung also updated her makeup colors too. Instead of going for boldness and drama, Chung stuck to pastel shades, from pinks to peaches. This accentuated the sun-kissed blonde in her hair, keeping it all looking natural rather than harsh.

If you have a similar natural hair color to Chung and want to give the ombré look a try, make sure that you choose a very experienced stylist. Going from dark to light can sometimes result in a shade that is more orange than blonde, which is something that an experienced stylist will know exactly how to avoid.

Ombré hair can be as subtle and natural or as bold and dramatic as you want it to be. Whether you are looking for a small change or a complete transformation, ombré should definitely be on your must-try list when it comes to hairstyles!

Everyone wants healthy, shiny hair. But with so many products and routines out there, it’s hard to know where to start. Here are ten top hair care tips to help you achieve the luscious locks you’ve always dreamed of. Let’s dive in!

1. Choose the Right Shampoo and Conditioner

Using the right shampoo and conditioner for your hair type is crucial. Whether your hair is oily, dry, curly, or straight, there’s a product out there for you. Look for shampoos and conditioners that match your specific hair needs.

Pro Tip:

Avoid products with harsh chemicals like sulfates and parabens. They can strip your hair of its natural oils.

2. Don’t Overwash

Washing your hair too often can strip it of its natural oils, leaving it dry and brittle. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week, depending on your hair type and lifestyle.

Pro Tip:

If your hair gets oily quickly, try a dry shampoo between washes. It can help absorb excess oil and add volume.

3. Use Lukewarm Water

Hot water can damage your hair and make it dry and frizzy. Use lukewarm water when washing your hair to keep it healthy and shiny.

Pro Tip:

Finish with a cool rinse to help seal the hair cuticle and add shine.

4. Be Gentle When Drying

Roughly towel-drying your hair can cause breakage and frizz. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water with a soft towel or an old T-shirt.

Pro Tip:

Let your hair air dry whenever possible. If you must use a blow dryer, use it on the lowest heat setting.

5. Brush with Care

Brushing your hair helps distribute natural oils from your scalp to the ends of your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush with soft bristles to avoid breakage.

Pro Tip:

Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling and damaging your hair.

6. Limit Heat Styling

Heat styling tools like flat irons, curling irons, and blow dryers can damage your hair over time. Try to limit their use and always apply a heat protectant before styling.

Pro Tip:

Embrace your natural hair texture and look for heatless styling methods, like braiding your hair overnight for waves.

7. Trim Regularly

Regular trims help prevent split ends and keep your hair looking healthy. Aim to get a trim every 6-8 weeks to maintain your hair’s health and shape.

Pro Tip:

Even if you’re growing your hair out, regular trims can help keep it looking fresh and prevent damage.

8. Protect Your Hair from the Sun

Just like your skin, your hair can get damaged by the sun’s UV rays. Wear a hat or use a hair product with UV protection when you’re spending time outdoors.

Pro Tip:

Look for leave-in conditioners or sprays with UV filters to protect your hair from the sun.

9. Nourish Your Hair with a Hair Mask

Hair masks provide deep conditioning and nourishment, leaving your hair soft and shiny. Use a hair mask once a week to give your hair some extra love.

Pro Tip:

Choose a hair mask that suits your hair type and concerns. For example, if you have dry hair, look for a hydrating mask with ingredients like argan oil or shea butter.

10. Eat a Balanced Diet

What you eat can affect your hair’s health and shine. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can help keep your hair strong and healthy. Include foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts, and lean proteins in your diet.

Pro Tip:

Stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water helps keep your hair hydrated from the inside out.

Bonus Tips for Extra Shine

Avoid Tight Hairstyles

Tight ponytails and braids can cause breakage and damage over time. Opt for looser styles to give your hair a break.

Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases create less friction than cotton ones, helping to reduce frizz and breakage while you sleep.

Use a Clarifying Shampoo Occasionally

A clarifying shampoo can help remove buildup from hair products and hard water. Use it once a month to keep your hair looking fresh and clean.

Avoid Overloading on Products

Too many hair products can weigh your hair down and make it look greasy. Stick to the essentials and use products sparingly.

Be Patient

Healthy, shiny hair doesn’t happen overnight. Stick to your routine and be patient. Consistency is key to seeing long-term results.

Conclusion

Achieving healthy, shiny hair is all about finding the right routine and sticking to it. With these top 10 hair care tips, you’ll be well on your way to luscious locks.

Curly hair is beautiful, but it can also be tricky to manage. The right routine makes all the difference when it comes to getting those curls to pop. Whether your curls are loose waves or tight coils, maintaining the perfect curl pattern requires a bit of effort, but it’s totally doable. Here are five tips to help you achieve perfect curls every day.

1. Start with the Right Cleanse

Curls thrive on moisture, but starting with a clean base is essential. The key is finding a balance between cleansing your hair without stripping it of the natural oils it needs to stay hydrated and frizz-free.

Choose a Sulfate-Free Shampoo

Sulfates are common ingredients in many shampoos, but they can be too harsh for curly hair. They strip away moisture, leaving curls dry and prone to frizz. Instead, opt for a sulfate-free shampoo. These formulas cleanse your scalp without leaving your hair feeling parched.

Don’t Overwash

It’s important not to wash your curly hair too often. Overwashing can dry out your curls and cause them to lose their shape. Try washing your hair no more than two or three times a week, and use a co-wash (a conditioner that cleanses) in between washes if necessary.

Focus on Your Scalp

When washing, focus the shampoo on your scalp rather than the lengths of your hair. Gently massage your scalp with your fingertips to remove buildup, and let the shampoo rinse through the rest of your hair as you wash it out.

2. Condition Like a Pro

Conditioning is the most important part of a curly hair routine. Curls need moisture to stay bouncy and defined, so giving your hair enough hydration is essential.

Use a Hydrating Conditioner

After cleansing, follow up with a conditioner that’s designed for curly or dry hair. Look for conditioners that contain hydrating ingredients like shea butter, coconut oil, or aloe vera. These ingredients will help lock in moisture and keep your curls soft and manageable.

Apply Conditioner Generously

Don’t be shy with your conditioner! Apply it generously, focusing on the lengths and ends of your hair, which tend to be the driest. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing to allow your hair to absorb as much moisture as possible.

Detangle in the Shower

The best time to detangle curly hair is when it’s wet and coated with conditioner. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle from the ends up to the roots. This helps prevent breakage and keeps your curls intact.

3. Style While Wet

Curly hair should be styled when it’s wet or damp. This helps define the curl pattern and prevents frizz from forming. The right styling products and techniques will help you achieve the perfect curls every day.

Apply a Leave-In Conditioner

Leave-in conditioners are a must for curly hair. They provide an extra layer of moisture and protection. Apply a leave-in conditioner while your hair is still damp after washing and conditioning. This will help keep your curls hydrated throughout the day and act as a base for other styling products.

Use a Curl Cream or Gel

To define your curls and keep them in place, use a curl cream or gel. Curl creams add moisture and enhance your natural curl pattern, while gels provide hold and prevent frizz. Apply the product by raking it through your hair with your fingers, ensuring even coverage from root to tip.

Scrunch Your Curls

After applying your styling products, scrunch your curls upwards toward your scalp. This motion helps enhance the curl shape and adds volume. You can also flip your head upside down while scrunching to create more lift at the roots.

4. Dry Gently

Drying curly hair requires care and patience. The way you dry your hair can make or break your curls, so it’s important to be gentle and avoid techniques that cause frizz or disrupt your curl pattern.

Air Dry Whenever Possible

Air drying is the gentlest way to dry your curls. After applying your styling products, let your hair air dry without touching it too much. Touching your hair while it’s drying can cause frizz and disturb the curl pattern.

Try Plopping

Plopping is a technique that helps curls dry in a more defined shape. To plop, use a microfiber towel or a soft cotton T-shirt. Flip your head upside down, and place the towel or shirt on your hair, gently wrapping it around your curls. Leave your hair wrapped for 10 to 30 minutes, then remove and let your curls air dry.

Use a Diffuser for Faster Drying

If you need to dry your hair quickly, use a diffuser attachment on your blow dryer. A diffuser distributes heat evenly and helps your curls maintain their shape. Set the dryer to low heat and low speed to avoid disrupting your curl pattern, and use the diffuser to gently lift and dry your curls.

5. Protect Your Curls at Night

How you care for your curls overnight can affect how they look the next day. Protecting your hair while you sleep helps prevent frizz, breakage, and flattening of your curls.

Sleep on a Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases are much gentler on your curls than cotton ones. They reduce friction, which helps prevent frizz and keeps your curls intact overnight. Silk pillowcases are also great for maintaining moisture in your hair.

Use the Pineapple Method

The pineapple method is a simple way to protect your curls while you sleep. Before bed, gather your hair into a loose ponytail on top of your head (it should look like a pineapple). Use a soft scrunchie to secure your hair without pulling it too tightly. This method keeps your curls from getting crushed while you sleep.

Refresh in the Morning

In the morning, refresh your curls by spritzing them with water or a curl refresher spray. You can also apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner or curl cream to redefine any curls that need extra help.

Final Thoughts

Achieving perfect curls every day doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right routine and a few simple tips, you can embrace your natural curls and keep them looking their best. Start with a gentle cleanse, condition thoroughly, style while wet, dry carefully, and protect your curls at night. These five steps will help you achieve healthy, defined curls that last all day long. So, enjoy your curls and let them shine!
