The quest for perfect curls is a journey we all share, whether we have naturally curly hair or are simply looking to add a little movement to our locks. There are many natural curling methods available, each with its own pros and cons. In this article, we'll explore these different techniques and offer tailored recommendations for achieving those dream curls.
1. Basic methods/techniques of natural curling
Before diving into the products and tips that make curling easier, it's essential to understand the basic techniques. Three main methods are often used:
Flat twists : Suitable for all hair textures and particularly effective for creating defined curls. This method involves wrapping sections of hair around your fingers and pinning them to hold them in place.
-
Individual Twists : This process produces tighter curls. Each section of hair is separated in two and then twisted. The hair is then dampened and allowed to dry naturally.
Braids : Often used for wavy hair, braids are a simple technique that creates natural waves without heat.
2. Essential products for natural curls
Using the right hair products not only improves curl texture but also helps maintain their shape and bounce. Here are some recommended products available at Naturiam:

3. Advanced Looping Techniques
Plopping
Plopping is a popular technique due to its simplicity and effectiveness. It involves wrapping your wet hair in a cotton T-shirt to absorb excess moisture while preserving the natural shape of your curls.
Shingling
This method is particularly effective for people with thicker or curly hair. It involves applying a styling product, such as the Collagen and Green Caviar Leave-in, strand by strand. This careful application ensures perfectly defined curls.
Finger Coiling
Finger coiling is ideal for those who need extra control over their curls. Each strand is wrapped around the finger, forcing it to create a well-defined curl. It takes time, but the results are often spectacular.
4. Tips for optimal curl maintenance
Regular hydration : Use a hair mask, such as the Hydrating Hair Mask, regularly to maintain deep hydration. Try this mask here.
Avoid excessive heat : Let your hair air dry as much as possible or use a diffuser on low heat.
