Styling curly hair in different ways

Styling your curls can be done in different ways. When styling curly hair, we generally talk about 4 different methods. Each method lends itself to the use of different products. Thanks to our wide range of Curly Girl styling products, A&F Cosmetics allows you to try all methods and see what works best for your curls!

1. Scrunching curls for more volume

Scrunching is one of the best ways to create more volume in your curls. With scrunching, you can easily apply different products to create more volume and give your curls more definition. The best products to use when scrunching are:

• Pretty Girly Curl airy volume foam
• Design Essentials almond & avocado curl enhancing mousse
• Canto Beauty wave whip curling mousse

2. Prevent damaged hair from raking

When raking, apply the product to your hands. After this, ''comb'' your curls with your fingers, applying the product to your hair. Because you use your fingers, you avoid any damage to your hair from a brush or comb, and you can easily apply a mask or gel. Some of our favorite products for raking are the Mielle pomegranate & honey coil sculpting custard, the Curly Secret miracle styling foam and the Pretty Curly Girl strong hold gel.

3. Undisturbed curls with plopping

With plopping, you gather your wet curls on top of your head using a cotton T-shirt or pillowcase. But, there are other ways too! When you want to style your curls by plopping, it is important to have a microfiber towel. Curly hair can be damaged by a regular towel.

When you use the plopping method, you do not use any products during the styling itself. Therefore, it is important that you use a leave-in product for curls after shampooing. Depending on your type of curls, you can use:

• Babassu Quench leave-in curl primer
• Curly Secret curl candy leave-in
• Cantu Grapeseed leave-in strengthening repair cream
• Pretty Curly Girl protein heavy cream 2in1

4. Let curls dry naturally by airdrying

Believe it or not, but one of the best ways to style your curls is air. Letting your curls air dry ensures that there are no brushes or towels that can damage your hair. Also, products like the African Pride bouncy curls pudding, the Afrohair styling gel, the Aloe mint wake up refresher spray or the As I Am dry & itchy scalp care oil treatment get a chance to do their job for more volume and vitality.
