Curly Hair Love: Your Ultimate Guide to a Successful Curl Appointment
Hello my hauntingly gorgeous peeps, let’s talk about prepping for your upcoming curl appointment. This is more than just a hairstyling session – it's a moment to unleash the magic of your curls! Here's how to prepare:
Ask Them:
Reach out to your stylist beforehand to understand any specific prep they recommend for your curl type. They might have unique suggestions tailored to your curls' needs.
Clean, Dry Hair, and No Products:
Wash your curls before the appointment to ensure they're clean and dry. Avoid using any styling products to give your stylist a clear canvas to work their magic. This is super important because your curl appointment starts with a dry cut and that won’t go well if you don’t do this.
Avoid Claw Clips or Hair Ties:
Skip the clips and ties to prevent denting or altering your natural curl pattern. Let your curls flow freely to give your stylist a true sense of your hair's behavior. Again a curly cut starts with a dry cut so this will affect your haircut.
Bring Inspiration Photos:
Collect 3-5 photos of curly hairstyles or looks that resonate with you. These visual aids help your stylist understand your preferences and expectations better.
Ask All the Questions - Make a List:
Prepare a list of questions you have regarding your curls - from recommended products to styling techniques. No question is too small when it comes to embracing your curls.
During Your Appointment
Communication is Key:
Discuss your hair care routine with your stylist. Ask for personalized tips and tricks on maintaining your curls between appointments.
Styling Tips for Your Hair:
Ask your stylist to demonstrate easy styling techniques tailored to your curls' needs. Learn how to enhance your natural curls effortlessly at home.
Realistic Expectations:
It's essential to have realistic expectations for your hair. Discuss achievable goals with your stylist based on your hair type, texture, and the treatment or style you desire.
Post-Appointment Care
Caring for Your Curls:
Follow the advice and product recommendations provided by your stylist. The reason your hair looks amazing when you finish at the salon isn’t just because your stylist is talented but because of the products we use.
Styling Made Easy:
Incorporate the styling techniques your stylist showed you into your daily routine. Experiment with different styles to find what works best for you.
Realistic Expectations for Your Hair:
Understand that each curl is unique. Embrace the beauty of your natural curls and recognize that they may have their own mind at times. Or often lol
Preparing for and getting the most out of your curl appointment is a journey towards self-love and embracing your natural beauty. By communicating openly, learning new techniques, and setting realistic expectations, you're not just styling your hair – you're celebrating and nourishing yourself.
