I get asked a lot how I style my hair. Well I thought I'd break it down to some simple steps. I don't necessarily think that frizzy hair is bad hair. I try to embrace my frizzyness and sort of think of the curls and frizz as best friends that need to stay together.

I get asked a lot how I style my hair. Well I thought I'd break it down to some simple steps. I don't necessarily think that frizzy hair is bad hair. I try to embrace my frizzyness and sort of think of the curls and frizz as best friends that need to stay together.

Instructions

    Start with slightly dried hair. A tip if you want to reduce frizz is to use a t-shirt instead of a towel to dry you hair. I personally use a towel, but as I mentioned, I don't mind the frizz.

    Squeeze out an amount of curl enhancing hair gel into your palm. How much you need depends on length and thickness of your hair. I use the Kinky Muk - Curl Amplifier from the brand Muk.

    Scrunch the hair gel in your hair starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots.

    Use a hair dryer with a diffuser attached to it to dry your hair.

  5. Small 114705 2f2016 07 13 203910 5img 6075 fixeli

    Take a section of hair and then hold the dryer against it, once again scrunching the curls. I dry my hair until it is about 70% dry.

    Once you've finished with the dryer lift your hair up at the roots, and shake your hair out to give movement to the curls.

    Let your hair air dry the rest of the way, and enjoy your bouncy curls!
