Wash and condition your hair using good quality products such as Nylah's Naturals. Detangle your hair, best whilst wet, and add a leave-in conditioner of your choice. The next and final step is to add a setting gel. Allow the hair to dry naturally and voila, your curls will be more pronounced.
You Don't Deep Condition Enough.
The foundation of healthy curly hair is moisture and moisturizing conditioners that penetrate the hair. Your strands need to be nourished from the inside out with well-performing deep conditioners.
Follicle Shape- The shape of your hair follicle largely determines your curl. Oval follicle shapes produce curly hair while round follicles produce straight hair.
Well, hard water can leave curly hair coated in a film of mineral buildup which can weigh curls down, stretch them out and cause them to fall flat. To restore the spring back into your curls you need to remove these minerals and that's where Color Wow's Dream Filter comes in to play.
Less than 20% of people have naturally curly hair.
Curly hair is a bit more delicate than straight hair, and the tighter the curl or coil, the more fragile the strand. Curls generally need a little extra love, and it's important to know how to do right by your hair so it can stay looking amazing.
Allow enough time for your curls to cool down or they will lose their form and fall out quickly. If you run your fingers or brush through curls too soon without giving them the proper time to set, your curls won't last.
You might think, “My hair is naturally curly but won't curl anymore.” Age or genetics are the most common reasons for losing your natural curl pattern. As we age, our hair tends to lose its elasticity and become more brittle. It can cause the hair shafts to break, making them thinner and weaker over time.
We believe one of the reasons is that super-straight hair — also known as type 1a hair — is so rare. In fact, it's the rarest hair type. Only 2% of the world's population has 1a hair. It's mostly found in people of Asian descent.
And while the results did vary, in the end we found that 58% of the fellas agreed that curlier is sexier.
Like all type 2 hair, 2c hair is wavy, but that often feels like a technicality. Your S-bend hair is thick and the waves start at the roots. If you've ever been confused about whether your hair is wavy or curly, it's likely you have the 2c hair type.
Cutting curly hair will not make it curlier, but could help enhance your natural curl pattern. And while it's true that cutting your curls can make them appear bouncier and springier, your final results will still come down to your unique curl type and how your hair is cut.
Coily Curls
The last, but most rare type of curl is the coily curl. This curl type is similar to that of an afro and when observed carefully, looks like the angular letter 'Z'. These curls require the most amount of moisture, as the hair type is much thicker than the other curl types.
Type 1A hair is very straight and fine, with no waves or curls whatsoever. This hair type tends to get very oily and requires frequent shampooing. It is the rarest hair type and is common among women of Asian descent.
Individuals of African ancestry, for example, are more likely to have curly hair due to the oval shape of their hair follicles. Additionally, the Keratin Associated Protein (KAP) cluster genes, responsible for the structure of keratin fibers, have been found to have variations in many African populations.
A general observation across experiments was that straight hair was perceived as younger, healthier, and more attractive than wavy hair and darker shades (medium copper and brown) were perceived more positively than blonde hair.
According to an article by evolutionary biology professor Mark Elgar, PhD, of the University of Melbourne, blue-eyed redheads are the absolute rarest, with 0.17% of the population having that combination of hair and eye color. So if that describes you, you're most likely one in a million (or more!).
