]]> Have a special event and want to feel a little more glam? Or just feel like your hair is on the flat side and needs a little oomph? Curling is the quickest way to do so. 

Unfortunately, curling can also take a lot of time, especially if your hair is on the thicker side. 

That’s why this hack is going to be a game changer!

Step #1

Make a big zig-zag parting from the front of your hair to the back. Think early 2000s vibe!

Step #2

Section the hair by grabbing each part of the zig-zag and curling. Doing so will combine the top and middle layers of your hair which will save you time!

Step #3

When it comes to the bottom layer of hair, split it into two sections (or three if you have a lot of hair) and curl away.

Step #4

Give your front pieces a slight curl and then run your fingers through your hair to flip it to the side, giving yourself a side parting. 

Step #5

Finish off by adding a bit of hairspray and scrunch in a drop of hair oil. Your gorgeous curls should last 3-4 days.

]]> If you have long hair and are on social media, you’ve probably heard of the “curly girl method” of styling hair. If you tried that method, but it didn’t quite turn out how you had hoped because your hair isn’t quite curly enough, then this method might just work for you!

The “Bowl Method” is perfect for those who have wavy hair because it helps form the waves much more naturally. Here’s how to achieve the wavy hair of your dreams using the “Bowl Method”.

Step 1: Wash and Condition Hair

Wash hair and condition normally in the shower. Complete the next steps immediately after getting out of the shower.

Step 2: Leave-In Conditioner + Bowl

Apply leave-in conditioner to hair and fill a bowl with water. Flip your head over and dip your hair into the bowl. 

Step 3: Scrunch Those Curls

Take hair out of water and squish curls repeatedly. Dip curls back into water.

Step 4: Repeat

Repeat Step 3 for a couple minutes, or until the product is evenly distributed throughout hair. This helps the waves/curls look less clumpy because there won’t be any areas with product buildup.

Step 5: Apply Gel/Mousse

Remove curls from bowl and squish until waves/curls form. Apply your gel or mousse to soaking wet hair. 

Step 6: Dip and Scrunch…Again!

Dip curls back in water and scrunch until you are satisfied. Enjoy your beautiful, bouncy waves!

]]> There’s nothing sadder than spending 20 minutes curling your hair, only for the ringlets to unravel as soon as you step out the door. Curls will always drop throughout the day, but there are ways to ensure they still keep their form long after you’ve turned off your curling wand. 

Mousse

In order for curls to last, your hair needs something to give it hold. Before blow-drying, apply some mousse—this will give your curl longevity. 

Water Filter

Most water is much harsher than we realise, which can take its toll on the condition of our hair. Luckily, this can be sorted out by fitting a filter on the shower head that will soften the water.

Clarifying Treatment

Products, hard water, and the environment can all cause build-up in our hair. Use a clarifying treatment once a week to get rid of all that gunk. 

Don’t Overheat

Although it makes sense to think that a very hot hair tool would do the job better, that’s not actually the case. Too much heat will damage your hair—but don’t worry, your curls will still be fabulous if you use a lower setting. 

Let Them Cool

Just like steak needs to rest, so do your curls. Allow your hair to cool for 15-20 minutes (the longer, the better) before brushing out the curls as this will give them a chance to set. Rub some oil in your hands and run your fingers through from mid-shaft to ends to smooth out the hair.
