Hair follicles age. You won’t have the same quality of hair in your 50s, 60s and 70s+ as in your teens, 20s or 30s,” says Anabel. “Texture changes, as does the way it behaves. Many grapple with unmanageability, a different wave or curl pattern and products that used to work, no longer have the same impact. Curly or coiled textures are the most fragile, therefore more susceptible to breakage.

The BeautyWorks Professional Styler is a miracle worker for those with really long hair or hair extensions. Not only is the wand itself beautiful, but its extra-long barrel allows you to easily wrap all of your hair around for a consistent curl. It has adjustable temperature from 80-220 degrees and the ceramic coating ensures the cuticle is sealed and your curls will stay in place all day. If you're using velcro or foam rollers, you should use a setting product along with some volumizing hairspray to prevent your curls from falling flat. [4] X Research sourceWrap your hair around the roller. Starting at the bottom, hold the tip of your hair firmly against the roller with a finger, then roll the roller up along the hair, smoothly and tightly. Tension is the key to creating a good curl, so make sure the hair is wrapped securely around the roller. [5] X Research source Towel dry your hair. Once you get out of the shower, use an absorbent towel to pat your hair dry and squeeze the ends to get excess water out. If your hair is too wet, any product you apply will drip out along with the water and your hair will not curl as well.

This curl gel (or ~jelly~ if we're gettin' fancy) has a super-thin consistency, making it easy to spread throughout your type 3 to type 4 hair. The lightweight formula is filled with aloe vera and sugar beetroot to keep curls hydrated and softly defined—this definitely isn't a strong- or even medium-hold gel—though drier hair types will want to layer this one over your leave-in or oil.

Once the rollers are out, you can brush out the curls to loosen them. Just don't overdo it, your curls should keep their shape for two or three strokes, but overdoing it might cause them to fall out. Getting it right can shave minutes off your getting-ready time, create the best curls of your life AND look after your hair. Heat up the flat iron. Most flat irons will need a little time to heat up before you can use them. If you try to curl your hair with the iron before it reaches the correct temperature, the curls will not hold. Some flat irons will have different settings which you can play around with until you achieve the best result. Try to keep it at the lowest temperature possible though, to cause less damage to your hair.

Or, you know, you could try using your dressing gown... As you can imagine, it isn't a foolproof solution, but if you're saving up to buy your dream heat styler, you might as well give it a go 🤷‍♀️(don't try it on short hair, FYI).Delivery times are shown from time of dispatch (transit time only).
