Changing your natural hair texture is a routine most of us have followed for quite some time. If you have curly hair you’ve probably spent a great deal of time making your hair straight or wavy. If your hair is straight you’ve likely done the opposite. There’s certainly nothing wrong with having fun and changing your hair to have a different look, but this year designers and celebrities have been all about embracing their natural hair texture. And you know what? It’s quite refreshing! Since we have spent so much time in our lives changing the natural texture of our hair it’s a fun change to actually maximize your natural hair texture-especially since it’s an actual TREND right now. We realize this may seem like something quite different than you’re used to with your hair, so we’re sharing some easy tips to help you maximize your natural hair texture.
Get the Most Flattering Haircut
To be honest with you, one of the easiest ways to maximize your natural hair texture is to get the right haircut to suit your hair texture. It may seem obvious but if you don’t feel like it’s easy to bring out the natural hair texture of your hair with it looking its best it’s probably because you don’t have the right haircut. If you’re really ready to maximize your natural hair texture, the next time you head into the salon for a haircut have an open conversation with your hair stylist. Talking to your hairstylist and sharing the fact that you’re interested in maximizing your natural hair texture is going to help them to give you the right cut. Discuss the hair length and style you’re most interested in, and together you can determine the best cut to suit your preferences as well as your hair’s texture.
Use the Best Products for your Hair
We often discuss the importance of using skin care products that are formulated to work with your skin type, the thing about maximizing your natural hair texture is you need to apply the same principle to choosing your hair care products. If you have naturally curly hair, using hair care products that are formulated for straightening benefits aren’t going to help you maximize your natural hair texture. Take a look at the hair care products you have in your current collection and add the products you need to suit your natural hair texture. When searching for hair care products looking at the actual formulation is important, as well as the actual texture of the products. For example, if you have very thin hair you shouldn’t use hair care products that are very heavy and cream based. Choose the texture of the product according to the texture of your hair, too. These attributes of the products are going to help you to truly make the most of the products you use and ensure that they’re working WITH your hair and natural texture rather than against it.
