Kick Your Curls To The Curb

I know from firsthand experience just how frustrating curly hair can be

. Over the years, I have learned to embrace and nourish my curly hair, but I have also given in to the temptation to straighten it, too. I will be the first to admit what a relief it was not to have to constantly beat my frizzy locks into submission. But daily straightening and some methods of long-term taming are unhealthy. So how can you do it the right way the first time? Let me give you some tips.

The Brazilian blowout or similar keratin-based smoothing services are fabulous options for someone who wants to see immediate and long-lasting sleekness and smoothness. Both of these styling options make use of keratin protein, which strengthens and repairs hair while reducing or altogether removing frizz.

While many people are intensely satisfied with the results, they also have to shell out some big bucks, and it does not usually last more than about three months, so if you're on a tight budget, you may need to save up for this type of treatment. It also should be paired with specialty shampoo and conditioner to maintain the look.

There are some at-home kits sold at some beauty supply stores that may be worth a try, but do be aware that you will likely not experience salon-caliber results.

Are you ready to kick your curls to the curb once and for all? Japanese straightening actually alters the shape of the hair follicle, which is what determines the texture of hair. This can be very pricey and is considered PERMANENT, so if you have any doubts, do not proceed.

Plus, you will want to do plenty of research on a Japanese straightening salon before booking your appointment, as there are plenty of fraudulent services on the market. Check out ratings with the Better Business Bureau and/or read reviews for salons on the internet before making a final decision.

Shorter hair almost inevitably has more curl to it, but sometimes adding some extra weight will take some of the kinks out of unruly tresses. If you're too impatient to grow out your hair, add some California hair extensions. They last for months and can potentially add the weight you are looking for to soften the intensity of your curls.

Of course, taking a flat iron to your hair is the good old-fashioned way if you just want to tame it for a day or two. The key is to keep your hair protected. Always keep a quality heat protector on hand, and use it generously. After all, whether straight or screwy, your hair will look awful if it's unhealthy!
