Tips to leave curls open and frizz-free –

When the root is smoother and the ends are curly, curl definition requires lighter products. Although this type still asks for hydration, you run the risk of ending up with a withered look if you choose the wrong leave-in. Therefore, the hairdresser Wilson Eliodorio recommends products in mousse, gel or spray. The cream is also released, but in a smaller amount and never applied directly to the root. With the hair still soaked, spread the cosmetic in your hands and comb the length with your fingers – the residue that is left, you apply to the roots to control any breakouts.

Then, with the help of a towel, knead the locks from the ends to the roots while removing excess moisture – don’t forget the strands at the front. Here it is also worth “beating” the hair, as Wilson calls the process of throwing the head forward, backward, to one side and to the other. And be careful: no tying or messing with the hair before it is completely dry, which can undo the curls and create frizz. Also remember to remove the strands from the top of the head to ensure a beautiful and modern volume. Throughout the day, use a special spray to reactivate the curls.

Babyliss, why not?

Holy curl definer, it’s worth turning to the device if you have the time and good will. The thin rim curling iron is for curly hair with tight curls, especially afros. Larger diameter creates wider waves. In that case, if your hair is very curly, you will need to do a quick brush before using the appliance. For curling smoother and finer strands, it is ideal to spray a fixing spray strand by strand before winding them in the equipment. Thus, the hairstyle has greater durability.
