Gels and pomades are helpful styling products for keeping your curls in shape in wind and humidity. Check with your stylist about what product line will work best on your hair type and color. Then, once you are ready to style, these hints will help your curly locks look fabulous in any weather!
Begin with gently towel-dried hair. Starting with damp hair gives you the chance to brush out your hair without pulling out curls and creating frizz. Apply a small amount of gel evenly to wet hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to distribute the product through to the ends. Avoid applying too much gel in one place; this will result in clumped together hair.
Let your hair naturally separate as it dries into natural curls. If curls are sticking together while drying, use a comb or fingers to gently separate them. If they look flat, gently scrunch them with your fingertips.
Allow curly hair to dry naturally or apply low heat using a hair dryer with a diffuser. Using an even heating method will help to prevent your hair from frizzing and keep you from blowing out your curls.
Use a wax pomade product to arrange and hold curls. With a small amount of pomade on your fingers, add a bit of the product to the ends of the hair with your fingers to sculpt individual curls to create definition and control the texture. Pomade will give your hair a polished look, making your curls sculpted and ideal to style.
To hold the shape in the curls you just defined and keep your hair out of your face, don't pull the hair back with a hair band. Use pins to secure your curls loosely in place. At this point your curls should bounce with ease, but can be crushed if pulled out into a ponytail.
If your curls start falling out during the day, simply dampen them with a little water to reactivate the product and then scrunch your hair to bring your curls back to life. The next time you visit your salon, pick up a pomade product and try this when you style your hair at home.
