The Curl You Never Knew!

Earlier today I was thinking about how when I was in middle school I begged my hairdresser to give me a perm. It was the coolest trend at the time, but she refused and at that very moment she changed my life forever. My hairdresser, Pam, told me that there was no need to stress my hair with a perm when most hair, including mine has a hidden natural curl. I thought she was crazy, but she was right! Let me share with you the secret that I learned long ago, how to extract your natural curl.

Before resulting back to the many curling mechanisms that exist give one of my curling tricks a try:

The Crunch and Scrunch- this is my ultimate method I like to use and if your going to try it, I highly recommend using Garnier Curl Liquid Spray Gel as well as another thick hair gel.

1. After you have washed your hair, lightly squeeze out some of the excess water, but not all of it. You'll want your hair to still be wet, rather than just damp.
2. Dab some thick hair gel into both palms of your hands and rub them together. Using your gelled hands scrunch clumps of hair into your palms as shown in the picture to the right. You want to hold the hair tight in your palm almost as if you are making a fist and then scrunch up toward your scalp. Do this over your entire head.
3. Next clip all your hair up loosely with a large hair clip.
4. Let dry while your getting ready the day. You can even use the blow dryer while your hair is up. I have a special technique of blowing my hair while repeating the scrunching motion at the same time.
   
5. Once your hair is completely dry, mist your full head of hair with the Garnier Liquid Gel and re-scrunch. Make sure to mist within your layers of hair.
   

When your finished you'll be looking like a total knockout!

Bed Head Curls- try this method for a more natural beach babe curl.

1. After washing your hair, squeeze out all the excess water with a towel so the hair is only damp.
2. Twist your hair and then wrap it around in a circle to create a loose bun or if you prefer the lazy way out, you can grab your hair in a bundle and form it into a messy bun. Put a hair elastic or hair scrunchy around the bun and sleep tight.
3. When you wake in the morning allow your hair down. Spray the Garnier Liquid Gel into the layers of your hair.
   
4. Scrunch hair immediately after spraying.
   
5. You should now have a sexy beach hair look with soft wavy curls.
   

Hopefully by the time your done using one of my tricks, you'll have all the boys staring!
