Girls with Curls

You twirl it, twist it, straighten it, and sometimes lop it all off and start over. 

 

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of the every day, it’s easy for us ladies to feel like we are

neglecting our hair. Here are 10 quick tips on styling curly hair when you’re rushing out the door.

 Pull It Up

If you’re in an extra hurry, sometimes pulling the hair into a ponytail or updo is the best option. A

cute chignon is a great way to look fashionable and chic when you are crunched for time. 

Secure it with chopsticks or a flirty hair clip, let some of your curls hang loose, and you’ve got 

a fun hairstyle in a matter of minutes.

Another great option is to invest in hair pieces that you can attach to your ponytail. Hair pieces are

easy because they require no styling whatsoever, and they can cover the curls that you didn’t 

have time to style.

 Let It Go!

Perhaps the ponytail doesn’t suit you, or you prefer your hair to be loose and flowing. In that case, try

pulling your hair up into a bun on your way to work and then release it once you arrive at your

destination. Many times we wake up in the morning with bed hair that simply needs a quick run

through with the fingers in order to set it in place. Pulling the hair up in a bun will help literally pull it

together so that your hair will be manageable and ready to go once you release it.

 Style Your Hair At Night

Mornings are sometimes the most hectic. Kids are screaming for breakfast and the alarm clock is

buzzing incessantly, but the hair still cries for attention. Try styling your hair at night to make

mornings less frenzied. Perhaps your hair is too disheveled in the morning even after styling? In that

case, try misting your hair with water when you first wake up. This will reactivate the product that

you put in your hair last night. Your curls will wake up and be ready to go.

 Nocturnal Twisting

A great way to shape your hair is to do a twist out or braid it. Braids and twist outs maximize the

amount of curl or wave in your hair and are relatively easy to do. What’s the catch? Twist outs and

braids take time to properly shape the hair. However, the amount of time you spend sleeping is just

the amount of time you need for a braid or twist out. While you sleep, your hair will be shaping itself

for a brand new day. In the morning, simply pull the bands out of your hair and watch your gorgeous

curls unravel. Mornings are now effortless.

 Sleep on a Satin Scarf

If you decide to style your hair at night, you might be faced with bed hair in the morning. Cotton

pillow cases are generally rough on the hair, causing frizz and breakage. The solution is to wrap your

hair in a satin scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase. Sleeping on satin will make your hair much more

manageable in the morning and decrease the time you spend on it. With a satin scarf or pillowcase,

you can style the hair at night and wake up with less frizz.
