Curly Hairstyles: Short, Long, Hair Cuts And Curly Hair Products

Published: October 4, 2007

The simplest and easiest way to make a change in appearance is by getting a new hairstyle. Whether it is a cut, color or texture treatment, a makeover for the hair is sure to make a difference. A major hair style difference is changing the form. If it is curly, go straight, and if it is straight, go curly. It is easier to find the right hair cut for going straight, than if naturally straight hair is going curly. Curly hairstyles are differently suited to different people, and as such involve planning.

It is not just a matter of deciding whether curly hairstyles should be cropped or kept long. Many factors have to be considered before achieving this look. Curly hairstyles are great for adding a "je ne sais quoi" aspect to a look. They give bounce, twirl and something extra to make any appearance classier. But two things to keep in mind before telling the stylist to add some curls are upkeep, type of curl and lifestyle.

Curly hairstyles require more management than straight hair. As beautiful as they are, they are not for those who pay no more attention to their hair than a dog does his tail. Curly hairstyles frizz easily and split ends are a common occurrence. The length of the curly hairstyles also changes what type of care it will demand. Curly, medium-length haircuts are more prone to poof out if the ends are not taken care of, and keeping curly hairstyles moisturized is a must to avoid the above problems.

On top of the extra care curly hairstyles require, it is necessary to consider the length of hair before getting curls. A super short, curly haircut may look presentable while still at the salon, but result in a cotton ball head the next morning. Short and medium-length haircuts look best with curly hairstyles. With long hair, a layered hairstyle will keep the look proportional and tame the curls from getting too unruly. For any curly hairstyle, specialized curly hair products are recommended.

There are different types of curls and they each provoke a different look. Short, loose curls are not as popular as they once were, but still offer a change. Curly hair products are a must to maintain curly hairstyles. For short curls, KMS Curl Up Bounce Back Spray will keep the curls defined and bouncy and can be found at most beauty stores for $12.75. Longer, bouncy curls appear more natural and have more options for styling. Using a product such as Curl Friends Control Gel, for $14.85 at Spiral Haircase's website, will get rid of frizz. Another curly hairstyle that will require control gel is the light and wavy curl look. The loose curls create more frizziness, but add lots of definition.

As glamorous as curly hairstyles look, they require a lot of management and forethought. Not everyone can put in the time needed to perfect the style; but if they can, it is worth the effort. Consider the pros and cons of investing in a curly hairstyle before making such a radical change. The type of curl chosen will determine a different look as well as a different haircut. Don't just cut out a picture of a favorite celebrity and assume it will all work out. Plan ahead, and the result may be even better than the celebrity inspiration.
