Curly Hairstyles - How to Style Curls

The hair world's biggest hair obsession, curly hairstyles are bigger than ever.
Inspired by the past decades, curls prove to be as popular as ever on the red carpet and runway hairstyles. Let's see how to style curly hairstyles and the basic tools to style your dream curls.

The blow dryer diffuser will give a tousled boho texture. If you've got naturally wavy hair, enhance its kink by blow-drying with the diffuser attachment. The trick is not to move the dryer too much.

The curling iron will give you a more precise, tighter curl. Adjust the size of the barrel according to the desired curl size – the wider the barrel, the looser the curl.

Hot rollers are best for creating voluminous, full curls. Position large rollers towards the root for real height or use small rollers for subtle volume and a smaller, tighter curl.

Using a flat iron you'll get defined, long lasting curls. Style curls by running a pair of flat irons through your hair as though curling a ribbon.

You can also style curly hairstyle with your fingers – perhaps the most important part of your tool kit. Don't just create curls and leave them – they look too 'done', unnatural and most of all, dated. Instead, once you've curled your hair, run you fingers through your ringlets to break them up for a much more fresh, natural curly hairstyle.

Curly Hair Tips!

Prepping your hair before blow-drying or styling with volumizing product is key to getting the right base for your curls and giving them longevity.

Rub smoothing cream through your hands and run over your curls to keep them glossy!

Keep a curl reviving product in your desk or handbag to liven up your look and get your curls back on track.
