Pretty Looks with Curly Hair for a Woman Who Values Her Time

Not everyone is blessed with naturally curly hair and are often envious of those with curls or wavy locks. But where does curly hair come from?

Most people believe it has to do with genetics, and while this is partially true, there may be other reasons as well. A lot has to do with the shape of the follicle as well as the direction in which it grows. Flat or asymmetrical follicles form oval shaped strands, thus resulting in curls or waves. As well, research has proven that curly hair follicles contain more keratin than their straight counterparts.

Luckily, the era we live in has a lot to offer to all kinds of hair. That is why, no matter what length your curls are off, there is something we are ready to treat you with. Let’s have a look at what we have in store for you!

Curly Hair

First of all, we need to make sure that you know what curly hair is. And it is essential not to confuse curly and wavy hair. As those with natural hair can attest, curly hair is the most temperamental of all the hair textures. Wavy hair tends to be curly only at the ends while curly hair has a definite curly pattern throughout. As well, curly hair can be prone to frizz, so it is important to keep your hair properly hydrated and not weigh it down with a lot of heavy hair products. Always wash and condition and then follow up with moisturizing and hydrating products. Now let's see the most popular looks with curly hair. Source: jasmeannnn via Instagram
