Romance Me…
September 24th, 2008 | Author: Meha
I guess you can say I’m one of the lucky ones. I have long, thick, healthy straight hair…and as you can see I am very humble about this fact. You won’t see me bragging about how amazing my hair is, that is not my personality.
Because I am blessed with great hair (like I said I’m very modest), I tend to spend very little time styling it. What I like to do after I have washed my hair is to towel dry it then let it air dry. Before it dries completely though, I French braid my hair and let it stay this way overnight. The next day I let out the braid and finger comb my hair.
It is THE easiest way to get a sexy, sultry, beach-hair look.
If your hair is curly I am jealous of you. I for one can never get my hair to have that bouncy, curly hair look. The trick for you privileged haired gals to achieve the tousled hair look is to loosen it up and recreate the shape of your hair. After you have towel dried your hair, divide and braid four sections of your hair and secure the ends with an elastic band. Once your hair is almost dry unwind the braid and use your fingers to distribute a styling product (Pantene Pro-V Texture Foam Wax ~ $6.50) from roots to tips, and blow-dry using a diffuser while scrunching to create texture and volume. To create a more controlled look, use a two-inch curling iron vertically, and let the curls drop. And just like the straight haired gals, use your fingers to comb and loosen the look.
If you have wavy hair then you practically walk around with this sexy look all the time already. To perfect this look, follow the directions for straight hair BUT instead of washing your hair, simply mist your hair a little and then follow braiding and styling directions.

i have semi-wavy straight hair.. i let it air-dry too
and i think it’s perfect day2
i would love to have naturally bouncy curls sometimes, i once had a dear friend create ths look beautifully for me:
i rubbed a few drops of oil into my palms then thru my already dry hair- so that the curls would be silky-soft instead of sticky-stiff- then she sectioned it and did 2-3 tiight- the tighter the better- french braids which i slept in, and when i woke up…they were perrrfect- and there was no trace of product either =)
try it to make ur modestly, thick healthy, straight hair, pretty & curly 2 for a day or 2
i have semi-wavy hair, and i’ve never tried the bouncy curl technique, but if you don’t brush your hair after you wash it, make sure to towel dry – to get it a little more “tangled” – then i put a palm-full of gel into my hair and i’ve got the semi-curly-semi-beach-sexy hair…it’s pretty bad for your hair, but it’s quick and easy.
but, i’ll definitely try the bouncy curls this weekend
