You can also add texturizer to your hair. This can help straight hair from falling flat. Depending on the length and texture of your hair, you may want to use a different hair product. For example, volumizing mousse is better for stick-straight or fine hair. Styling cream may help control frizz and flyaway hair for thicker hair. [1] X Research source
You can also twist your hair instead of braiding it.
You may want to add a tiny bit of texturizer spray to your hair before braiding, although you may already have enough product in your hair. If you have very fine or short hair and it tends to get stringy quickly, you might want to wash your hair every night. In this case, you’ll have to start the process from the beginning.
1 cup of hot water 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or argan oil (or you can use a half tablespoon of each) ½ teaspoon leave-in conditioner
If you have short hair, use less hair product in your hair. Otherwise, your hair can get weighed down too much. [4] X Research source Find a strong hold mousse to get maximum hold throughout the day. [5] X Research source
A styling wand is another good option for curling your hair.
Don’t comb your fingers through the curls unless you want a very subtle wave.
Dispense a quarter-sized amount into the palm of your hand. Gently work it through all of your hair. If you have really long hair, you might want to use more. If you have pretty short hair, start with a smaller amount.
If the twists come loose at any time while you are drying them, you can just retwist them.
Use a medium to cool setting on your hair dryer. It’s best to use the cool setting, as this temperature will “set” your hair better. Tilt your head upside down or sideways. Place sections of your hair into the diffuser and move the diffuser up towards your scalp. Let your hair get about 80 to 90% dry. Stand upright and finish drying your hair with the diffuser.
Place your hair through the funnel and turn on your hair dryer to a cool setting.
If you have pretty short hair, don’t use hair product on your roots. This can make your hair look stringy.
The bigger the sections, the wavier your hair will be. If you have very small sections of hair, your hair will end up more as curls.
If you don’t shake out your hair and run your fingers through it, your hair will still be curly. To make it wavy, run your fingers through your hair or use a brush to soften the curls into waves.
