Long Hair - The Big Night

Quick Tip

For This Style You Will Need:

-a blow dryer with a diffuser that is light enough to hold easily
-a small barreled curling iron -misting bottle for natural curl
-curl enhancing balm if needed
-hair spray that will hold without -leaving hair crunchy

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Apply your favorite curl enhancing balm or mousse to help coax out your curls or if your hair has plenty of natural curl, a misting bottle may be all you need.

• Gently detangle hair, create part and allow to 80% air dry.

• If your hair has plenty of natural curl, now is the time to begin scrunching your hair. If you are using water, be sure to mist frequently.

• If you are using a blow dryer, be sure to push the fingers into the style to lift the roots. Using your fingers will also help to create the style. No brush needed. To create added volume, you might want to dry your hair upside down while scrunching with your fingers.

• To give definition to your curls, you may want to use a small barreled curling iron. Notice that the photo features bangs that have been coaxed into loose curls. When you are satisfied with your style, spray with your favorite hair spray to hold your curls for the day.

  *More Help With Dandruff

  It is often thought that dandruff is a sign of dry skin and moisturizing products are chosen to combat the problem. Unfortunately, dandruff is often a sign of too much oil, not too little. Another mistake that is often made is to restrict the number of times a week you shampoo your hair.

  *More On Layers

  While I love adding layers to long hair, there is a time when you should back off. If your hair is ultra curly, adding layers could make your style look bushy.

  *Left Over Yogurt

  Have you ever found yourself with a half container full of plain yogurt and nothing to do with it? If that sounds familiar, you can grab it on your way to the shower. Work it into your hair, and then allow it to work its magic while you later away. Rinse with warm water and you have just conditioned your hair.
