How Can I Wake Up With Natural Wavy Hair

What are the best ways to keep your naturally wavy hair looking good overnight?

My hair, which is extremely long, is naturally wavy with random interior and perimeter curls.Because my own hair is so long and medium thick, the weight of the strands naturally straightens out the waves and curls.Pictured: Auli'i Cravalho, NBC's "Rise" with wavy hair - (Photo by: Evans Vestal Ward/NBCUniversal)If I want to amp up my waves and/or curls I have to style it that way when I wet cleanse my hair.After I wet cleanse, condition, rinse, t-shirt blot and detangle, I apply a leave-in conditioning cocktail.Image of Jesse James Decker with loose waves - (Photo by: Tommy Garcia/E!

What is it like to have naturally curly hair?

I’m an indian born with curly hair. I’m 21 now. During my adolescent years i had brush hair as i didn’t even know that i had curly hair. Then puberty hit me hard and suddenly one day i realized that i am a curly haired dude(after shower). I was 17 during that time. My college friends call me noodles, cotton candy head, sparrow’s head bla bla, yeah i have been judged by almost everyone based on my curly hair.HOW GIRLS REACT: This is the tricky part. Some girls have told me that you would look so handsome with straight hair and that i should seriously consider straightening my hair permanently. On the other hand(the best part) some girls go crazy over my hair. I mean, countless girls(even aunties :O) have told me that i look unique and my hair is supercute. They just can’t keep their hands off of my curls.Almost everyone i meet for the first time comments about my hair. I enjoy some of their comments, some of them i’ve learnt to ignore for the best. From my experience i can say that curly hair draws attention from most people and you get to be known as the guy with curly hair.P.S Thats me and yeah, I love my hair and would never trade it for stupid spikes.

If I curl my hair before I go to sleep, will I wake up with waves?

Waking up to a wavy hair greatly depends on your natural hair type.Eg:if you have a perfect straight hair and you curl it before sleep. You may only wake to something an uneven or not a straight hair. (Considering the fact that you dint use heat methods to curl ) even if you used perming tools you will wake up to something of lesser than your made up style. You can always touch up the frizz or the unordered style you see in the morning.The reason why I say you may not end to an 100% curly/wavy hair is because even a girl with natural curls don't end up to it.Ways to protect your curls/hairstyle overnight :1.drape your hair in a cloth(cons:hair may not breath) or high bun.2. Change your pillow case from a cotton one to something like a satin or a softer fabric which doesn't frizz your hair. Cotton's tend to make your hair rough due to friction!3. I know it's not possible , do not move in your sleep. Sleep in attention pose. \U0001f60bWe can only try to maintain 100% perfection in what we do.afterall these are all man made and they don't last long. Embrace your natural style.

How can straight hair be made curly naturally?

I do not quite understand what your definition of nature is. Then I want to talk about my understanding of nature and some of my plans. What I understand is that nature is it does not harm the hair at all. So I talk about a few small methods that I have used, which I hope can help you. There are four methods that are no hot-treatment, which are very simple and practical.Natural twisted waveThis hair is actually more suitable for those who have full hair, and the hair is longer, the effect will be better. This kind of hairstyle is relatively simple and is very suitable for those who are afraid of trouble. Divide your hair from the middle into two parts, each part is braided from the side, and maintain this style for 6 hours or more. Then it is a very nice curl after being unwound, of course if you don't want the whole hair to be curly, you can just make up part of it and leave some straight hair.Flexible deep curlyIn general, deep curly still needs certain products to maintain, or it will disappear. You can try this way to get the effect you want after you wash your hair, which is to apply mousse and moisturizer to your hair before you roll it with a curling iron, and wrap your hair in a circle with a small curling iron, then fix it with rubber band. Finally you can see the good effect if you insist on it until the next morning.Body waveThe tool you need is a rubber band and a roll left after you have used toilet paper. This is very convenient. It may be in everyone's home. The method is also very simple. It is to divide your hair into several parts, which are wrapped around the roll, being fixed with rubber bands. You should keep this shape for at least one night, so as to have a beautiful style of curly hair.Curly hair style that can be done by handFirst you need to prepare a bottle of water and multiple hairpins, and divide your hair into many parts. Then roll these hairs in a circle around your fingers. Finally fixed with a hairpin, you can also choose different directions on both sides. Stick to one night, and unlock your hair card, and finally the beautiful hairstyle will come.

What are the best ways to straighten curly hair?

I have very naturally curly, brown hair (photos before and after below). Over the past 20 years I've figured out the best way to straighten my hair so it is silky, slightly wavy and soft.Shampoo and condition with Pantene Pro V "sleek and smooth"Rinse conditioner with very cold water. Turn your head upside down in the shower to do this, so the conditioner runs away from your scalp and down towards the ends. DO NOT run your fingers through your hair to rinse, allow the water to remain saturated on the hair in this position without squeezing it out yet.While your head is still upside down, put a grape size amount of Frizz Ease Serum in your palm and rub between your two hands. Squeeze the ends of your hair with your hands with the serum, and while your hair is still soaking, flip your head right side up and squeeze your hair on top of your head so the serum will drain closet to your scalp, but still mostly stay near the ends.Wrap your hair in a towel and leave it on until bed (I always let my hair air dry WITHOUT touching it before straightening).Sleep with towel on your pillow and hair loose.When you wake up, it should be dry.DO NOT BRUSH IT. Now you will begin to section off pieces of hair diagonally starting at the base of your neck. I only straighten pieces that are as wide as my finger.Comb through each piece gently with your fingers before running a ceramic or titanium flat iron over it at 425 degrees. Repeat two or three times for each piece. On the last run, twist the straightener to create a more natural looking wave to the finished look. Stick straight hair never looks healthy if it isn't natural.Repeat for each piece, finishing off with your bangs or the front.I find that my hair goes into "shock" for about an hour after straightening, so divide your hair in half as if you were doing pigtails. Twist each side into a bun and secure with a scrunchy. Put a toque on. Wait an hour.Remove hat, remove scrunchies, shake out hair.Voila!This is my naturalThis is after straightening…Good luck! ❤️So basically, from this:To this:
