It’s time for you to start paying attention to bombshell curls if, like me, you live by the mantra “bigger is better”. Big curls are the definition of old-school Hollywood glamour. How to get big curly hair? Here are some tips and products to help you achieve this look.
Prep your hair
The final result will always look better with the proper preparation. Preparing your strands according to your hair type is essential if you want to achieve large, voluminous curls. Start your hair care regimen with shampoo and conditioner that are formulated for your specific hair type.
It is common for people with fine hair to have lifeless and flat strands. To combat this, start your routine by using a volumizing shampoo-conditioner system such as Matrix Total results High Amplify Volumeizing Shampoo and Conditioner. This system cleans and conditions fine, limp hair to boost its structure. You’ll want to use a mousse that will help you build body before blow-drying, such as Matrix Total Results Foam Volumizer. This formula gives a full-bodied lift, support and a touchable thickness.
You’ll want to get the smoothest hair possible before you start creating curls if you are prone to frizz. Start with a shampoo and conditioner that is anti-frizz, such as Redken Frizz Dismiss. This system smoothes hair, improves shine, and reduces frizz.
Pick yor part
The way you part your hair can make or ruin your look, especially if you want to increase volume at the roots. We recommend a deep side section for big, voluminous hairstyles. It’s easy to add volume and body to your hair with a deep side part. Here is our guide to deep side partings.
Don’t forget heat protection.
Heat protection is the golden rule for heat styling. Use a heat protector like Matrix Total results Mega Sleek iron Smoother Leave-In Spray. This product protects against heat damage, humidity and frizz for all day smoothness and control.
Select the right tools
To achieve big curls you will need to choose the correct hot tool. You can create big curls with a wide-barrel curling iron or, if your style is more traditional, hot rollers. Curl two-inch sections at a time. If you have too small sections, your ringlets will be smaller and tighter.
Once you have finished styling your hair, use a wide-toothed comb to gently brush your curls.
Get rid of hairspray
You’ll need to use a strong-hold hairspray like L’Oreal Professionnel Tecni.Art Infinium 4 High-Hold Hairspray once you’ve perfected the ringlets. Spray a strong-hold hairspray, such as L’Oreal Professional Tecni.Art Infinium 4, on your ringlets. This formula is long-lasting and locks in your style with a natural feeling, a natural finish and an optimal shine.
