Master Styling Curls and Coils (You can do it!)

When it comes to embracing your natural curls and coils, the journey is as exciting as it is rewarding! We have found that mastering styling natural hair techniques is not just about looking great—it’s about feeling confident and celebrating your unique texture every day. Whether your curls are tight coils, loose waves, or anything in between, there’s a world of styling possibilities waiting for you. Let’s dive into some practical tips and tricks that will help you love your natural hair even more.

Discovering the Best Styling Natural Hair Techniques for You

Finding the right styling techniques and products for natural can feel overwhelming at first. There are so many products, tools, and methods out there! But here’s the secret: it’s all about understanding your hair’s unique needs and working with its natural pattern.

Start by identifying your hair type and porosity. Is your hair fine or thick? Does it absorb moisture quickly or does it tend to stay dry? Knowing this helps you choose the right products and styles that will enhance your hair’s natural beauty.

For example, if you have low porosity hair, lightweight moisturizers and gentle heat can help your hair absorb hydration better. On the other hand, high porosity hair benefits from heavier creams and oils to lock in moisture.

Try these styling tips to get started:

• Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle gently.

• Apply leave-in conditioners or curl creams while your hair is damp.

• Experiment with protective styles like twists, braids, or buns to reduce breakage.

• Avoid excessive heat styling to keep your hair healthy.

  
  

Remember, patience is key! Your hair will respond best when you treat it with care and love.

How can I style my hair naturally at home?

Styling your hair naturally at home is easier than you might think! You don’t need fancy tools or expensive products to create stunning looks. With a few simple steps, you can achieve salon-worthy styles right in your own bathroom.

Here’s a quick routine I love:

1. Start with clean, damp hair. Wash your hair with a Be-Curly Shampoo or Co-wash and follow up with Be-Curly Conditioner.

2. Apply a leave-in conditioner. Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioner helps define your curls and keeps them hydrated.

3. Apply Be-Curly Curl Enhancer. This product helps control frizz. Remember frizz is dry hair reaching out for moisture in the air. If it has what it needs it will stay put.

4. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle. Be gentle to avoid breakage.

5. Try twist-outs or braid-outs. These styles are easy to do and give your hair beautiful texture and volume.

6. Let your hair air dry or use a diffuser on low heat. Avoid rough towel drying; instead, use a microfiber towel or a cotton T-shirt to gently blot excess water. During the drying process remember to keep your hands out of it. The more you touch it the more you disrupt the curl. No handling until the hair is 100% dry. Be patient.

7. Finish with a light oil or serum. This adds shine and seals in moisture.

   
   

If you want to switch things up, try a high puff or a sleek bun for a chic, polished look. These styles are perfect for busy days and keep your hair protected.

Essential Tools and Products for Natural Hair Styling

Having the right tools and products can make all the difference in your styling routine. Here’s what I recommend keeping on hand:

• Wide-tooth comb: Perfect for detangling without causing damage.

• Spray bottle: Fill it with water or a water-based leave-in to refresh curls.

• Microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt: To dry hair gently and reduce frizz.

• Be Curly Curl Enhancer or Nutriplenish leave-in conditioner: To define and moisturize curls.

• Natural oils (like jojoba, argan, or coconut): To seal in moisture and add shine.

• Satin or silk scarf/bonnet: To protect hair overnight and maintain styles.

  
  

When choosing products, look for those free from harsh chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and silicones. These ingredients can strip your hair of its natural oils and cause dryness.

Tips for Maintaining Healthy Natural Hair

Healthy hair is the foundation of any great style. Here are some tips I swear by to keep my natural hair thriving:

• Moisturize regularly: Natural hair tends to be dry, so daily moisturizing is a must.

• Shampoo Less: It may sound contrary but shampoo opens the cuticle in order to extract dirt and oil. The cuticle layer on curly hair is naturally more open. Try Aveda Co-wash as a substitute or just run some conditioner through and rinse. When you feel like your scalp needs to be cleaned Be-Curly Shampoo is a great choice.

• Protect your hair at night: Use a satin or silk pillowcase or wrap your hair in a satin scarf to prevent breakage.

• Limit heat styling: Excessive heat can damage your hair’s natural texture.

• Trim regularly: Keeping your ends healthy prevents split ends and promotes growth.

• Eat a balanced diet: Your hair reflects your overall health, so nourish your body with vitamins and minerals.

  
  

By incorporating these habits, you’ll notice your hair becoming stronger, shinier, and more manageable.
