How can you define curls? | Abingdon | Didcot | Wantage | Oxfordshire

Achieving defined curls will be different for different curl types however if you are defining your curls for the first time there are some basic introductions which will greatly support your curly hair journey. (Ideally) using a shampoo and conditioner for curly hair, begin by washing and conditioning your hair. Once finished, don’t rub it dry and instead gently scrunch with a towel to reduce frizz.

Products are best applied to slightly damp hair and this can be applied using your hands. For example if you are starting with a curl creme, scrunch your curls and try to ‘shape’ your curls. You can too work the product through with your fingers or ideally something like a Denman brush.

The final thing that you will need is a diffuser. Diffusers are very cost-effective and most are a universal fit meaning they can attached to most hair dryers however it is worth establishing this as some hair dryers will have a slightly wider head than others. Diffusers allow you to dry hair with more control and prevent your curls from creating frizz so the trick is to dry, style and leave a small percentage of moisture still in your hair. If doing so, use the medium heat and medium speed setting to enhance your curls. Here’s some more tips for blow drying curly hair.
