I promised I would address curly hairstyle options in the Summer Hairstyles post a few weeks ago and so I’m back with part two! Now the question for most of us is whether or not our hair texture curls naturally or are we using rollers, curling irons and other tools to achieve a curly look.
If you’re able to shampoo, condition and apply a curl enhancing styling product to achieve the curly looks presented in the photos, then you have a natural curl pattern that will most likely withstand the heat and humidity without the aid of heat styling.
But if your hair doesn’t curl naturally like mine (my texture is a combination of the first and fourth photos), then you rely on roller sets using various sizes of rollers, and most likely curling irons to achieve your desired curly look. The only "con" to this approach is that oftentimes when the heat and humidity set in, the curls fall, have a shorter lifespan, and you’re often forced to restyle daily to maintain the look.
I personally fell in love with each of the looks above and that was the reason I choose to include them. But I knew that with sharing the looks I would need to manage your expectations on how the looks could possibly be achieved. So when presenting these looks to your hairstylist or attempting to achieve them yourself, take the following into consideration:
- Hair Texture: Will my hair texture allow me to achieve this look or will I need to alter my hair texture with the use of rollers or curling irons?
- Lifestyle: Will this look allow me to continue with my regularly scheduled workouts? Will I need to schedule more visits to see my stylist?
- Home Maintenance: Will I need to invest in special products to maintain the look? Will I be able to sleep on this hairstyle and wake up knowing I won’t need to restyle it every morning?
And last, but not least being realistic will ultimately ensure the best results! And to thank you for your continued support there’s a giveaway!
