Is there anything more appealing than a romantic hairstyle? A head full of long, flowing curls is definitely the way to go when creating a romantic look and in this image Jillian Jenay Mays from J Jenay Hairstyling and Barber Studio in Summerville, SC shows us exactly how its done. The good news, you can easily create this look yourself.
What You Will Need:
Shampoo
Rat Tail Comb
Leave-In Conditioner
Wrapping Lotion
Hooded Dryer
Curling Iron
Sheen
Styling Gel
Step 1: Shampoo and Condition
Start by washing your hair. This is a good time to detangle your hair and make sure that it is bone straight before moving on to styling. Rinse your hair and apply a quality leave in conditioner.
Step 2: Apply Wrapping Lotion
Apply a liberal amount of wrapping lotion to your hair, making sure to not apply so much that the ends drips. Then comb your hair straight back. Make sure that the hair remains as close to the scalp as possible.
Step 3: Dry
Allow your hair to dry. Sit beneath a hooded dryer for one and a half to two hours. How long you remain under the dryer will depend on the length and thickness of your hair. Just make sure you don’t touch or try to style your hair while it is damp.
Step 4: Part and Curl
Before curling, comb through your hair to ensure that there are no tangles and then part your hair just above the peak of either eyebrow. While holding your curling iron in a vertical position, with the handle pointing towards the floor, loosely wrap your hair around the curling iron until it is secure.
Be mindful that the higher you start the curl, the less carefree and romantic your look. Try to start the curl at the base of your neck. It’s also important that you remember that the larger your curling iron, the more loose your curl will be. So if you only have smaller irons, try not curl your hair so tightly.
Step 5: Pick Your Curls Out
Pick your curls apart so as to create more volume. Keep in mind that the more you pick, the curlier your style will look. So be very careful and deliberate about how much you seperate. The goal is to give a smooth and effortless appearance.
Step 6: Smooth Edges and Sheen
Put a quarter size amount of oil sheen in your palm and smooth it over your hair in order to give it a more polished look. You should also use pro styling gel to smooth and style your edges. Make sure to add gel to your part so that it stays in place.
