Make Curly Hair Scene
Since most hot scene styles are created with straight hair, curly haired girls usually straighten their hair. However, if you use a straightener too much, it will damage your hair. Even if you straighten it most of the time, it's probably a good idea to leave it curly at least one day a week. Getting your hair chemically straightened isn't a good idea. It doesn't last forever and is extremely damaging. You can make your curly hair super cute!
Steps
- Wash your hair. Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner since, curly hair tends to get dry, especially if you are using a lot of heat styling. Make sure to use special conditioners specially tailored for frizzy/curly hair.
- Scrunch your hair and part it to the side. Use a small amount of watered down hair gel (mix the gel with water) or spray gel, then hairspray it up until you know it will hold your curls in. You can also use a leave-in conditioner before-hand to cut some of the crunch from the gel and keep your hair from frizzing. (Curly hair frizzes when it needs moisture.)
- Although scrunched, air-dried hair works well, you might want to blow dry if you're in a hurry. You must have a diffuser if you do not want a cloud of frizz. While blow drying, place a section of hair in the bowl and press the bowl to your head. Then turn on the "warm" setting of your blow dryer. Press the cool shot if your head gets too hot. Make sure to turn off the air before you take it away from your head as well. Blow drying like this minimizes frizz.
- Get some side bangs and straighten them when you wear your hair down. Some scene hairstyles have even bangs that go across the forehead, but if you have curly hair, you want "side tapering bangs". When your hair is curly, pin your bangs to the side with a bow, a butterfly clip, or some other clip.
- Tease the roots of your hair with a fine toothed comb. This will add more flair to your hairstyle.
- Color it up! Think of a cute color that would compliment your skin tone.
- Think colors of the rainbow! Red, blue, purple, yellow, orange, etc. Get creative with that. If you have dark hair and don't want to bleach it, look into colored hair extensions.
- Consider headbands and other clips. It's cute and not very expensive to buy plain hair things and decorate them with random objects. Get creative! Go into the fabrics/craft section of a store and add things like buttons, zipper pulls, ribbons, etc.
- Take it slow and experiment. When getting your hair cut, be careful. Take it slow. Maybe start off with some layers, if that works out, then go back and get some more cuts and colors. Take it slow until you love it.
- Wear you hair up every once in a while. This way you won't have to style or damage it at all. Streak it, put it in a ponytail, and clip back your bangs.
Tips
- When experimenting, choose a day that you don't have much to do in public, because, if your experiment turns out not so hot then you won't have to worry about going somewhere looking like a clown.
- If you're unsure of the results you'll get if you cut your hair yourself, get some tips from your hairdresser on what would compliment your facial structure. This way, you can get the hair you want while still having it look good.
- If you don't want to dye your hair a vibrant color, try going for a light blonde, or a black color.
- Before adding gel or other hair products maybe straighten the front section, or maybe just your bangs.
- Go for a scene mullet if you want to but don't get the top part of if cut super short. Make the shorter part start just below your ears and work it's way up a little bit.
Warnings
- Do not straighten your hair while wet (causes the water inside to evaporate, making your hair puffy and spoiled) or while it has a hold product in it.
- While your hair is curly the bangs won't look good unless they are straightened, so make sure you keep them pinned back.
- Don't straighten your hair extensions (unless you have human hair extensions)! They will melt and make a mess, they are expensive. It will suck to ruin them. Just pick them out or clip them back when you straighten your hair or your bangs.
- No big bows on bangs. Use smaller ones so they don't look ridiculous with your hair.
