Curls That Whisper

Quick Tip

*Curls and Ponytails

You don't have to have straight hair to pull off a ponytail! Imagine how pretty a sleek ponytail could look that bursts into bouncing curls.

*Styles from the Beach

Haven't time to hit the beach... well you can still look as if you have. Wash your hair but don't use a brush or comb when you are at the beach. They will simply flatten your style. Instead, use your fingers to tousle and coax curls into your style.

*More Styles from the Beach

If fingers can't coax curl and your hair is long enough, try braiding your wet tresses. The more braids, the tighter the curls.
