You Too Can Do: Curly Hair

You Too Can Do: Curly Hair

Step 1: Pick your products wisely. Don't buy stuff that's made for other people, cause you're just wasting your money. Understanding you hair type is half the battle, and knowledge is power. (I guess I'm Captain Planet now?) For reference, my hair is dry and wavy/curly. So I used It's a 10 miracle leave in product, then Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Hydro-Whip Cream on damp hair.
Step 2: Diffuse your hair with one of those diffuser attachments that kind of look like fingers. You're looking for 80% dryness.
Step 3: You're gonna look like a poodle, don't panic yet. Add Awapuhi Moisture Mist and scrunch your hair just a little bit.
Step 4: Wait for your hair to dry the rest of the way, doing it this way seems to control my frizz issues. So, do other stuff in the mean time- like curling your stick straight lashes that you hate with a burning passion.

Step 5: Go ahead and heat up your iron. I use a 3/4 in Marcel Hot Tools Iron, it's probably the closest size in comparison to my natural curl. 

Step 6: Fix any non-curly parts or your incredibly short bangs that look like stringy noodles unless you curl them. Make sure you use something like Paul Mitchell Hot off the Press so you don't, you know, burn your hair off like that girl in the youtube video. At the very end, I like using Paul Mitchell Construction Paste because it holds my curls, adds shine, and I get to pretend like I'm Spider Man. (Don't judge, you probably would too).

So now you look like T-Swift. If you got to the T-Swift stage, you did it right.
