From the red carpet to Rodeo Drive, celebrities seem to have it together — at least until the next issue of US comes out revealing their latest scandal. Stars with curly, wavy or kinky hair seem to have it even MORE together, especially when it comes down to their defined, frizz free, natural tresses.
We could simply just write those celebrities off. After all, they probably have the country’s best curl stylist, colorist, products and what have you. They just aren’t on our level. But if we did that, we’d never be able to steal their style secrets.
After hearing about a great new curly hair care brand and line of products (you know I’m THAT product junkie”>, we decided to give you a curly celebrity hairstyle how-to using products designed specifically for natural-haired women.
Kelly Rowland’s ROC’ing Curls
Despite my unbridled fear that a curly style I LOVE on the next R&B singer is going to turn out to be a wig, I can’t help but call out Kelly Rowland’s amazing curls at the Roc Nation Pre-Grammy Brunch. Okay, so it’s a weave, but it looks HOT. Now you can get that look without the expensive, all-too-real-looking weave that she shelled out your entire year’s income to buy.
Works best for: Type 3C and Type 4
- Clean and moisturize your hair leaving it smooth and soft to the touch. Apply U R Curly Soya Shampoo to wet hair and massage gently into a lather. This will help reduce breakage, nourish damaged hair and promote growth. Leave on hair for two minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Moisturize and detangle your hair leaving it shiny and soft to the touch. Apply U R Curly Quinoa Conditioner to wet hair. This will also help to promote the growth you’ll need to rock Kelly’s look. Massage gently, working through hair from scalp to the hair tips. Leave on hair for three to five minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Rejuvenate your curls while defining their shape and controlling the frizz. Detangle your tresses, toweling them with a t-shirt or micro-fiber cloth until damp. Depending on your hair porosity and texture, apply a small to moderate amount of U R Curly Tight Curl Enhancer to your hair, starting at the scalp and smoothing to your ends.
- Keep your hands out of your hair to keep the frizz at bay and to let the definition shine through. Allow your hair to air dry. If you have 3C or 4A curls, tip your head over once your hair is dry and gently scrunch your curls to add volume.
Kate Bosworth’s Fashion Week Waves
Ever since “Blue Crush,” Kate’s perfect type 2 waves have mesmerized her admirers. Okay, her abs were pretty awesome too. Years later, Kate’s waves are still turning heads the world over. During Burberry’s presentation at London Fashion Week, Kate stepped out with defined, high fashion waves we wish we could have seen ON the runway too! Of course, you don’t need a big event to steal Kate’s look; just your friendly NaturallyCurly editorial team and U R Curly.
Works best for: Type 2 and Type 3
- Clean and moisturize your hair leaving it smooth and soft to the touch. Apply U R Curly Soya Shampoo to wet hair and massage gently into a lather. Leave on hair for two minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Moisturize and detangle your hair leaving it shiny and soft to the touch. Apply U R Curly Quinoa Conditioner to wet hair. Massage gently, working through hair from scalp to the hair tips. Leave on hair for three to five minutes and rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Revive and stimulate your curls and waves while defining their shape and controlling the frizz. Detangle your tresses, toweling them with a t-shirt or micro-fiber cloth until damp. Depending on your hair porosity and texture, apply a small to moderate amount of U R Curly Loose Curl Enhancer to your hair, starting at the scalp and smoothing to your ends.
- Avoid frizz by keeping your hands out of your hair and your blow dryer in the cabinet. Allow your hair to air dry completely. To steal Kate’s chic look, pull the front layer back and secure it to the back of your hair. Allow the back layer of your hair to remain down. Finally, pull out a couple waves around your face to frame your eyes and cheekbones.
The secret to U R Curly’s curl defining magic is the Abyssinian oil infused into each of their products. All U R Curly products are also alcohol-free, so your curls won’t dry out and frizz will always be the last thing on your mind.
Happy styling, curlies!
