Curling with Asian Hair

Hi!

I have a wedding to attend in about 2 weeks. I have been trying to curl my super straight hair and spraying various products to see what will make the curls stay. Nothing seems to work! I have super straight asian hair and everytime I curl my long hair, the curls just become straight within 1 hour or so. How do I get those pretty curls to stay in my hair? What hair products and curling iron would you recommend? Could you give me a step by step on what hair products to apply first?  Thank you so much!! I’ve been trying for years to get curls to stay in my hair and nothing has worked.

Dear StyleBell Reader,

It is very difficult to curl Asian hair and to retain the curl once completed.  Styling products are definitely your friend and probably the only way you will be able to keep that curl all night.  I would try using both a mousse and a hairspray to keep the bounce in your curl.
1) Put a light mousse on your hair while damp, Davines Volume Soft Hold Mousse is a good choice.
2) When curling each group of hair you can use any curling iron which has high heat like the Hot Tools Curling Iron with variable temperature.
3) While curling each group of hair, spritz hair spray each time.  This will provide better hold.  Davines Glam Power Spray is an excellent choice. 

4) Once you are complete with your curls spray more hairspray on the style.

Style with a Deep Conditioner?

Could this be true!  Yes!  Johnny Lavoy, rock start hair stylist, shows us how you can style with deep conditioner.  This cute braided updo took him less than 2 mintues to pull off.  So give yourself 5.  I know you will love it!

Need Help Keeping Your Hair Color?

Do you spend a good deal of money and time getting the perfect hair color?  Color can dramatically change your look and overall appearance within one application.  It is a great way to lift an “in the rut” look.  The problem comes in managing that color.  Washing and rinsing with the incorrect shampoo can leave your stunning color not so stunning.  Here is our guide to keeping that color at it its peak.

Best All Natural Color Protect Remedy

1) Take a ripe avocado, yes the fruit, and crush up.  Massage into your hair and scalp and let sit for 15 – 20 minutes.  Your will be soft and silky and you will praise the color retention! 
2) Do you have a brown to dark brown hair?  Try this coffee inspired deep conditioning system.  Mix ground coffee or espresso beans with your conditioner.  Apply to hair and leave in for 20 – 25 minutes.  Rinse out.

Michelle Obama Hair and Hairstyle

Sophistication, down-to-earth, Mom, educated, and truthful are just a few words that come to mind when I think Michelle Obama, wife of Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama. Michelle even shops at Target and H&M. I love it! With the ongoing Presidential election under way Michelle Obama’s hairstyle has been quientessential sophistication throughout the campaign. Even Vanity Fair agrees, they put her on its International Best-Dressed List for the second year in a row. Simple yet beautiful.

Johnny Wright, celeb stylist at the Frederick Fekkai salon, is the stylist of choice for Michelle! Johnny says that he primarily uses a flat iron to make Obama’s glam look. He also on occasion will use a ceramic curling iron to do the flip out look that Michelle sports so well. View more beautiful hair styles from Michelle Obama.
