Natural Curls of Pearl


This is how I am wearing my naturally curly hair.

Natural Curls of Pearl Hairdo 

Step 1: Condition
You should always want to condition your hair prior to washing it. This allows the water and conditioner to soak into your hair and provide a better wash. My hair always tends to turn out a little better when I have let my hair products soak into my hair.

Step 2: Wash
After you have rinsed out your conditioner, washing your hair cleans away prior products you have placed in your hair. It leaves your scalp and hair feeling good.

Step 3: Condition again
Conditioning your hair again allows the water and conditioner to soak into your hair some more. This is a great technique for those who want to straightened out their hair. The second application makes the scalp and hair much more manageable and able to sustain being taken out of its original condition.

Step 4: Moisturize
Moisturizing your hair after you have washed it is a must. The best time to moisturize hair is while it is still wet.

Step 5: Air Dry
Air drying your hair gives you the fullness that some people desire. Whenever I air dry my hair, I do it at night and place it in four ponytails. This allows my hair to dry while I am sleeping. Of course my hair is never completely dry when I wake up, so this makes way for the next step.

Step 6: Blow Dry
In the morning, take your hair out of the ponytails, section by section. This technique allows you to concentrate on certain areas of your hair that may need more attention or heat.

Step 7: Straightened
After your hair is dry, straightened in with a flat iron. I would suggest managing the straight look for a couple of days to allow your hair to get use to fact of being straight. No matter how many times you wash and straighten your hair, your hair seems like it becomes more manageable after a couple of days.

Step 9: Create Natural Curls of Pearl
A mix of flexi rods and rollers will assist with creating the look above. Using a natural hair oil can assist with bring a certain type of shine to your hair when the rollers and flexi rods are taken out.

Step 10: Enjoy
Enjoy your hair style by taking pictures, sharing your experience, and just living it up. Why not? You deserve to look beautiful and show the world your Natural Curls of Pearl.
