Haircuts that do not require styling on wavy hair
If nature has endowed you with wavy curls, then you certainly know that this medal has two sides. Curls always look unusual, give the image a certain lightness, impudence, but they can also turn into an "explosion at a pasta factory" if they are not laid correctly. But in the modern rhythm of life, it sometimes happens that there is no time for styling with the word "absolutely". What should the owners of curls do? The answer is simple: choose and implement a haircut that does not require styling, which will not only save you from the need to tame your exuberant hair on a daily basis, but will also emphasize all your advantages.
Features of choice
Finding the right haircut for curly hair is much more difficult than for straight hair. It is necessary to take into account how individual strands will fall after cutting so that sloppy vortices do not turn out.
Focus on the length of your hair. Curly curls can look completely different if cut short or left long. Also consider the size of your curls. If your hair is wavy rather than curly, it will be much easier for you to choose a haircut and then style it, because, as a rule, such curls do not "flicker" when combing and do not frizz with "little devil" in high humidity.
Small curls are a more difficult task. They are naughty, they always strive to stand upright or fluff. That is why a multi-layered haircut will save you, which will allow the curls to lie in a certain sequence and they will not be very "capricious". Choose any length, but it is best to leave your hair at least to the shoulders.
Varieties of haircuts
Well, now let's find out what options for haircuts that do not require styling are offered to fashionistas by stylists. Below are selected the most fashionable haircuts for hair of various lengths today.
For long hair
A lion's mane, luxurious and chic - this is what comes to mind when looking at long curly curls. But such wealth must be looked after very competently. Naturally curly hair has a structure different from that of straight hair: their hair follicles in their shape resemble a curved comma, which is why subcutaneous fat does not reach the ends of the hair. Therefore, they dry out, begin to chop and break off, the hair becomes like straw. For such hair, it is very important to nourish and moisturize with the use of special products.
As for the topic of our conversation, the following haircuts are recommended for curly ladies with long hair.
- "Cascade". Multi-layered haircut with strands of different lengths that looks great on owners of wavy or curly curls. As a rule, it is performed with a graduation. The strands framing the face are cut with a ladder. This hairstyle is suitable for any type of face, complements any style of clothing. Everyday simple styling is very easy to turn into an evening one, just by brushing on the top of the head or collecting the hair in a voluminous bun. A truly versatile option.
- "Aurora". Distinctive features of this haircut: the crown of the head is trimmed with a round "cap", slightly careless bangs, the bulk of the hair is trimmed in strands that smoothly merge into one another. "Aurora" can be cut not only for long, but also for medium hair.
- "Rhapsody". It is, in essence, similar to a "cascade". But if in the "cascade", thanks to thinning, the strands lie one on top of the other, then in the "rhapsody" they are more pronounced. Because of this, a visual volume is created. This haircut is especially recommended for owners of thinning hair.
For medium
The average length of curls is universal for ladies of any age. And the best haircut that can emphasize all the advantages of its wearer is a square. This haircut can be classic, it can be with lengthening, with asymmetry, "on the leg". She has a lot of varieties. And in a curly version, the square becomes even more interesting and unusual.
To cut the bangs or not - the choice is yours. By the way, it is not at all necessary to straighten it - now the most careless bangs, disheveled, uneven, are in fashion. Choose the length and shape, focusing on the peculiarity of your face.
For short
Short curls look perky and very unusual. However, to wear such a haircut, it is necessary to have a slender body, correct facial features, since it focuses very much on details.
One of the brightest and most stylish options is the garcon haircut. It requires a minimum of styling: just blow dry your hair and beat it a little with your fingers. If desired, you can apply a drop of styling product: gel, mousse or wax. But you can not do this, since the curls will take the necessary shape during the drying process.
A pixie cut is another cool option for the young and daring. The strands sticking out to the sides will give a mischievous and cheerful look. And if you also color them with the help of modern technologies (highlighting, coloring), then "live" highlights will appear in them, which will give the image a vivid individuality, and the hair - an additional visual volume.
The classic "bob" also looks great on short hair. However, this haircut is more likely for wavy hair than for curly hair, as overly curly curls cut in this way can form a round "afro cap". This is not bad, this hairstyle looks quite distinctive, only it does not suit everyone.
Care Tips
So, here you are, and you got acquainted with those haircuts that are perfect for owners of naturally curly hair and do not require standing for an hour in front of the mirror in an attempt to tame the violent hair.
As mentioned earlier, curly curls have a slightly different structure than straight ones, therefore they require very special care. Here are some tips on how to care for your curls to keep them healthy, shiny and bouncy.
- Use only very light shampoos and conditioners. Make sure that they do not contain weighting components, such as silicones. When applying the rinse aid, spread it with your fingers, and it is better not to use a comb.
- After you have washed your curls, gently blot them with a towel. Do not squeeze them out or rub them too vigorously - this will only confuse them. After wringing out, the hair should be slightly damp.
- If you still use styling products, choose those that do not glue the curls together and do not weigh them down. Apply the product of your choice with gentle, “squeezing” movements, moving from the roots to the ends of the hair.
- Curls are much more sensitive to heat than straight hair. So give them a break sometimes and let them dry on their own. And when drying with a hair dryer, use the special diffuser nozzle. When shaping the styling, do not use a comb or brush - it is best to do this with your fingers.
- This advice flows smoothly from the previous one: since curls do not really like the hot air of a hairdryer, you should not dry them to the end, as there is a serious risk of overdrying. Better to let them stay a little damp and dry out on their own. By the way, in this case, the styling will turn out to be much more beautiful.
- Split ends are a headache for curly hair owners. That is why it is recommended to visit the hairdresser at least once a month and a half. A very good procedure is carried out with the help of hot scissors, when the ends of the curls are sealed and do not split.
- When choosing a comb, give your preference to a product with large sparse teeth that will not get tangled in your head of hair and tear your hair. The best option is a natural wood comb, which also has anti-static properties.
- Curly hair is prone to breakage. The use of dyes aggravates the situation even more. To prevent their fragility and loss, spoil your hair with various masks at least 2-3 times a week. These can be products with the effect of restoration, hydration, strengthening, as well as with nutrients. At the same time, it is not necessary to purchase expensive products in professional stores - on the Internet there are a lot of proven home recipes from simple ingredients, using which you can maintain the beauty and health of your hair for quite a long time.
