Want to add bounce and volume to your curls? Team Rixon has expert tips to help you achieve the perfect curly look. Follow our advice to transform your curls.
Begin by nourishing your curls from the inside out.
Nourishing your hair from the inside out is essential to achieve healthy, bouncy curls. Because it tends towards dryness and damage, curly hair requires a healthy, well-balanced diet to provide the necessary nutrients to thrive. To strengthen and nourish your curls, include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Additionally, consider taking a hair-healthy vitamin supplement to boost your curls. By nourishing your curls from within, you'll set them up for success and give them the best chance to look and feel their best.
Revitalise your curls: Start with a clean, moisturised base.
If you have curly hair, keeping it hydrated and healthy is essential. Curly hair tends to be dry, so a good conditioner and leave-in treatment are essential. Look for products specifically designed for curly hair that tend to be more nourishing and moisturising. Use a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to cleanse and moisturise your curls. Sulphates can strip your hair of natural oils, leaving your curls dry and lifeless. Instead, use a hydrating, sulphate-free formula to nourish and protect your curls. At Team Rixon, we highly recommend the Curl Manifesto range by Kerastase as it has been proven to be the most popular "Curly Hair" range we have ever used and recommended.
Use a leave-in conditioner or curl cream.
These add moisture and definition to your curls. These products help to enhance your curls and give them a bouncy, voluminous look. Team Rixon highly recommends the “Curl Manifesto Crème De Jour Fondamentale Curly Hair Cream” as it has proven to be the best “Curly Hair Cream” product we have ever used and recommended. Just distribute a small amount evenly throughout your hair to avoid weighing your curls down. Also, as a daily refresher between washes, we recommend “Curl Manifesto Refresh Absolu spray”.
Use a diffuser attachment on your hair dryer.
The proper hair dryer attachment is a must-have if you want beautiful, bouncy curls. A diffuser attachment helps to gently dry your hair while adding volume and definition to your curls. Attach the diffuser to your hair dryer and scrunch your hair as you dry it to encourage curl formation. Not only does the diffuser help to dry your hair more gently, but it also helps to enhance your curls and give them a natural, bouncy look. Plus, it's easy to find and affordable – we sell a fantastic sock attachment at Rixons that works as the perfect drying tool and costs less than $20.00. So why wait? Invest in a diffuser and give your curls the boost they deserve!
Avoid touching your curls too much once they're dry.
It can be tempting to play with your curls and try to shape them into the perfect style, but it's best to resist the urge! The more you handle and manipulate your curls, the more likely they fall flat and lose volume. Instead, try gently scrunching your curls to add volume and shape. This method will help enhance your curls without disturbing them too much and causing them to lose volume. Remember, your curls are delicate and need a gentle touch to look their best, so be kind to them, and they'll reward you with bouncy, voluminous waves.
Silk or satin pillowcase protects your curls while you sleep.
If you love your curly hair, you should be aware that cotton pillowcases can cause damage to your hair. The rough texture of cotton absorbs moisture and creates frizz, resulting in flat, lifeless curls. However, you can take control of the situation by switching to silk or satin pillowcases. The smooth, luxurious silk or satin fabric can help preserve your curls' natural moisture, prevent frizz and provide you with beautiful, bouncy curls every morning. So, let's change and switch to silk or satin pillowcases for healthier, more beautiful curls.
Experiment with different hairstyles and techniques.
Curly hair is a beautiful and unique feature that allows endless styling possibilities. The choices are endless, from relaxed and messy curls to well-defined and polished waves. It's essential to experiment and try different techniques and styles until you find what makes you feel confident and comfortable in your skin. Whether you prefer a casual or formal look, your curls can be styled to suit any occasion. Remember, embracing your curls is a celebration of your individuality and a reflection of your inner beauty. So keep experimenting until you find the perfect style for your curls, and wear them confidently to showcase your true self.
