The Ultimate Guide to Curly Hair

The Ultimate Guide to Curly Hair: Styling Tips & Techniques with Wella Professionals

Curly hair is unique, beautiful, and full of personality—but it also requires special care to keep it looking its best. Whether you have soft waves, bouncy ringlets, or tight coils, understanding the right styling techniques and using high-quality products can make all the difference.

At Glamour Hair Boutique, we specialize in helping clients embrace their natural texture. In this guide, we’ll break down the best styling tips for curly hair, including professional techniques and top Wella Professionals products to keep your curls healthy, defined, and frizz-free.

Why Curly Hair Needs Special Care

Curly hair is naturally more prone to dryness and frizz because natural scalp oils struggle to travel down the spiral structure of each strand. This means hydration, protection, and gentle handling are key to maintaining curl health and definition.

When searching for the right products and techniques, it’s essential to consider your curl type:

Wavy (2A-2C) – Loose, beachy waves that need lightweight hydration.

Curly (3A-3C) – Defined ringlets that require moisture and anti-frizz products.

Coily (4A-4C) – Tight coils that thrive on deep conditioning and protective styling. Once you know your curl type, you can tailor your routine accordingly!

Top Styling Techniques for Curly Hair

1. Hydrate & Nourish Your Curls

The key to healthy, frizz-free curls is moisture. A rich, nourishing routine will keep curls soft and bouncy.

Recommended Wella Products:

Sebastian Twisted Elastic Cleanser Shampoo – A lightweight, hydrating shampoo that gently cleanses curls without stripping moisture.

Sebastian Twisted Elastic Detangler Conditioner – Helps detangle knots while deeply hydrating and strengthening curls.

Pro Tip: Use lukewarm water when washing your hair—hot water can strip away natural oils and cause dryness.

2. Define & Enhance Your Curls

Once your hair is clean and moisturized, the right styling products will enhance curl definition and prevent frizz.

Recommended Wella Products:

Enrich Frizz control cream – A lightweight leave-in treatment that defines and smooths curls without weighing them down.

EIMI Volume Mousse – A volumizing mousse that adds bounce, shape, and humidity protection.

Styling Technique: The Rake & Scrunch Method

1. Apply Sebastian Twisted Balm to damp hair, using your fingers to rake it through evenly.

2. Scrunch upwards, gently squeezing curls to encourage definition.

3. Let air dry or diffuse for extra volume.

3. Plopping for Perfect Curl Formation

Plopping is a heat-free drying method that enhances natural curl patterns while reducing frizz.

How to Plop:

1. Lay a microfiber towel or cotton t-shirt on a flat surface.

2. Flip your head over, placing curls in the center.

3. Wrap the fabric around your head, securing it gently.

4. Leave for 20-30 minutes before air drying or diffusing.

4. Diffusing for Volume & Bounce

If you want bouncy, voluminous curls, a diffuser attachment on your hairdryer is your best friend!

How to Diffuse Curls:

1. Apply EIMI Curl shaper creambefore drying.

2. Set your dryer to low heat and hover the diffuser over your curls.

3. Gently scrunch sections into the diffuser, lifting at the roots for added volume.

5. Frizz Control & Shine

Frizz is one of the biggest challenges for curly hair, but the right products can keep it under control.

Recommended Wella Products:

Oil Reflections Light Luminous Oil – A lightweight oil that smooths frizz and adds shine without greasiness.

System professional hydrate Spray – A curl-reviving mist perfect for second-day hair.

Pro Tip: Avoid touching your hair once it’s dry—this helps maintain curl integrity and prevents unwanted frizz.

How to Refresh Day 2 Curls

Curly hair often needs a midweek refresh to maintain definition. Instead of washing daily, try this technique:

1. Lightly mist hair with System professional hydrate Spray to revive shape and add moisture.

2. Scrunch curls to redefine their natural pattern.

3. If needed, use a small amount of Oil Reflections Light Oil to smooth flyaways.
