Where most women damage their hair with searing hot curling irons or rollers, you roll out of bed with naturally curly and healthy hair. You're probably used to the jealous stares. But even with super cute curly hair, you may have no idea what to do with it. Fortunately, you have many options to style your curly hair to add a serious hotness factor.
Up and Down
Your curly hair flies into your face at the most opportune times, but you hate pulling it back into a ponytail. Try an up and down hairstyle for the best of both worlds. Pull the top layer of your hair back, starting just behind the ears. Don't pull too tightly or you may smash down your curls -- and that's not pretty. Secure the curls back with a sparkly hair tie. Let the rest of your lush curly hair fall down to your shoulders.
Straight Bangs
If you thought you couldn't pull off bangs because of your curly hair, you're dead wrong. Instead of letting the bangs go natural like the rest of your hair, straighten them with a flat iron. Keep them straight down in a blunt cut or sweep them to the side for a casual look. The contrast between curly hair and straight bangs will give you all the attention at your next dinner party.
Tousled Look
Whether for a date or a girls' night on the town, tousled curls exude romantic sex appeal. When your hair is completely dry, rake your fingers through your hair, shaking out the curls. Spray your hair with flexible-hold hairspray to keep it look delectable all night long.
Smooth Curls
Frizz is the main enemy of curly-haired gals. Once you're out of the shower and toweled off, run anti-frizz cream through your hair. Start from the tips and work it up toward the roots. As your hair air-dries, the anti-frizz cream will fuse each strand with moisture. No more frizz for you -- now you've got sleek, smooth curls that are truly to die for.
Flower Clips
Adorn your naturally curly hair in a decorative flower clip. The embellishment will make your curls stand out even more and add pizazz to an otherwise dull look. Wear decorative clips during outdoor concerts, when twirling on the salsa dance floor or when you just want to make a fiery statement.
