Fabric of Hair Educates: Curly Textured Hair Trendzz:

If you have to ask if highlights look good on curly hair? You are definitely not in the knowledge pool of textured and curly hair.

Yes highlights look seriously gorgeous on spiral strands, adding just the right amount of definition to a already defined hair texture.

There’s something about the shifting of the seasons, the changing of the leaves, and switching of the Starbucks drink menu that makes people want to completely overhaul my life each fall. Trending fall hair colors can make a person feel like a whole new person instead.

Just adding a few highlights or a gloss can give you a whole new vibe, if you, feel like your life needs something new and exciting, try swapping your beachy summer hair for a cozier fall shade.

Color processing can affect hai texture due to the chemicals involved, making your curls less tight and curly. Getting highlights is a much gentler way to color your hair, compared to all-over dye, and, if done right, they do not compromise the health of curly locks. This is why highlighting is often considered the best hair color for curly hair.

Balayage is currently one of the most popular coloring techniques that, thanks to flawless blending of hues, achieves a very natural look. Another great option for getting highlights that is specifically designed for curly hair is pintura highlights.

Note: this method means “painting” in Brazilian Portuguese and was founded by Brazilian hairstylist Dennis Da Silva.

Tight curls don’t reflect the light as much as wavy or straight hair, so with pintura technique, a lot more color is applied.

Color is hand-painted from the tips upwards, where light would naturally fall, to create stunning highlights, because no foil or heat is involved, it’s a healthier option for your curly locks.

To prevent any hair dye damage, make sure you work with a stylist who is a pro with curly hair. It also helps to have the healthiest hair possible before heading out for a dye job.

Make sure your locks are well-nourished, use a good conditioner, and always follow up with a good hair care routine.

Fabric of Hair Educates: Hydration Inside and Out for Amazing Hair⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We love an iced coffee as much as anyone, but as the temperature heats up, it's important to ensure you're getting your daily recommended water intake. Summer favorites like cold brew lattes, margaritas, and sangria are delicious🍸and dehydrating.

When combined with the heat, this is a recipe for disaster, including but not limited to dried-out hair and skin.

A good rule of thumb is that for every dehydrating beverage you drink, be sure to drink one extra glass of water.

You can continue to prioritize summer wellness by snacking on moisture-dense foods like cucumber, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, and grapefruit. Pair a few healthy treats with your next coffee break to keep you energized and hydrated throughout the day.

When it comes to targeted hydration for curls, try a summer DIY project!

Create your own moisturizing hair spray. Start with a water-soluble base like glycerin, mix a dash of your favorite oil ( I recommend coconut or argon oil), add a pinch of aloe for shine and curl clarifying magic, and spritz lightly with lavender or essential oil of your choice.

Simply spritz your DIY hydration mist liberally before heading out into the sun.

Fabric of Hair Educate: How to get from Crunch to Scrunch on Curly Textured Hair Type.🥸

How to Achieve a Cast:
A solid cast is achieved through applying styling products onto wet or damp hair. Different products can create different strength casts, but strong-hold gels and mousses are usually the best way to create a cast.

Allowing the hair to dry fully (either through diffusing or air drying) without touching it too much, this allows the product to form a hard, crystalline surface around the hair.

This encourages the cuticle to lie flat which in turn creates that smooth coveted shine.

However, you don’t want to walk round with rock-hard curls.

This is where the ‘scrunch’ comes in. If your curls feel crunchy, you might be…forgetting to break your cast.

Many curly haired folks neglect this essential finishing step once hair is dry, but it’s an important one.

Typical curl stylers (especially gel formulas) work by creating a seal on hair. This seal prevents frizz from forming and helps lock in curl definition, but it’s not meant to be left in a stiff state.

To soften things up, break the cast: Coat your palms with a thin layer of a finishing product such as serum, oil, or pomade.

In one firm motion, smooth your hands over your entire mane from front to back, as if you’re creating a ponytail. The pressure of your fingers will soften the styler’s hold, but your curls will retain their shape.

How to Scrunch out the Crunch Steps:

Step 1: Ensure hair is completely dry. Test this by holding a clump between two fingers and squeezing gently, feeling for any dampness.

Step 2: Scrunch. Gently cup curl clumps in sections and scrunch your curls upwards. ...

Step 3. Crunch

Thats It!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Fabric of Hair Investigates: Coloring Your Natural Hair 🧐

First and foremost understand and be very aware of how the coloring process could potentially affect the health and texture pattern of your curls, coils and zig-zags.

If you're super-experienced or you're just doing a temporary hair color or hair makeup, you'll want to leave your hair-coloring to a professional who can evaluate the condition of your curls coils, hair type first.

Most don't realize that textured hair is typically super delicate, so keep in mind when coloring textured hair it is "low and slow," meaning it's important not to push the hair to lighten more than it wants to in a single session.

Does dye damage natural hair?

Unfortunately, what you've heard is true: Dyeing your natural hair actually can damage your texture—but not necessarily all at once.

It usually takes repeated exposure for intense damage to be done, or if you're taking your dark hair to, platinum blonde.

However if your color is done correctly , you’re texture should remain intact and healthy.

Caution:
Lightening your hair extensively in one session can cause hair damage that could affect your coils, and the bigger the difference in your natural hair color and your desired shade, the more likely it is that you'll experience a loss of elasticity and loosened curl pattern.

Finding a colorist who prioritizes the integrity of the hair before, during, and after the treatment, coupled with a little at-home maintenance can help minimize the damage.

Fabric of Hair Investigates: Textured Curly Hair Detanglers🧐

It is rare that any natural can comb through their curls comfortably without a product to keep things in check.

This is doubly true for those who don the wondrous crown of beauty known as Type 4 hair.

As one of the most fragile hair types, these super tight curls are usually vulnerable to damage without the right combo of water, oils, and butters to allow the hair strands to glide past one another seamlessly, instead of snagging and tearing.
