Why Your Hair Won't Keep Its Curl?

You spend 20 minutes curling your hair and it falls limp before you even get to the office. In fact, it might not be your fault. Curly hair has a lot to do with genetics, and the way your hair holds its shape isn't up to you at all. Today Julia hair and beauty company offers some advice to tell you why your hair won't keep curl.

Before we get into styling advice, a little science: The shape of the root of your good 100% human hair extensions follicle determines the kind of hair you have. If the root is a circle, you'll have straighter hair. If your root is curved into a hook shape, you'll have natural curls. Unfortunately, you've got what you got, and there's no way to change it. So what's that mean when you want to add your own curls? If you have straight hair, it'll 'remember' that it wants to stay straight, Meaning that no matter how much heat you apply initially, eventually your hair's curl will undo itself. But using the right mix of curling tools and styling products can get you a good temporary look. Just keep these prep tips in mind for waves that last:

1. Start with day-old hair. And by that we mean unwashed — or at least, wash it the night before and style it dry the next morning. Day-old hair is ideal because your hair's natural oils make it more adaptable. Simply put: Slightly oily hair will hold a curl much better than slippery, just-cleaned hair. And skip conditioner — which weighs down hair, making it harder to stay curly — if you can. This will help give your virgin hair bundle deals a bit more bounce. And even better, use a dry shampoo in the morning. It will sop up any unsightly excess oil and add texture.

2. Use products to your advantage. A texture or volume will give your hair much-needed body. Then, consider curling with a flat iron (yes, a flat iron — here's how) or 1 1/2-inch curling iron. But if you really want to keep your hair healthy, go light on the heat. Too much heat styling can do irreversible damage over time. Try wearing soft sponge rollers over night — the longer, the better. Yes, we know it sounds a little grandma, but the curlers combined with your body heat will actually help produce longer-lasting curls the next day. And when you've got what you want, finish off your style with a light mist of hairspray. It'll help "define and maintain curls to keep them really shiny.

3. And then don't touch. It'll be the death of your curls. Play too much with your hair during styling and you risk flat hair in minutes. And definitely keep your hands off throughout the day. By the way, your hair's length also matters. In fact, the shorter, the better — it's physics. Not that you need to have a bob for perfect waves, but the less weight pulling down on your strands, the easier they will curl and the longer they'll stay bouncy.
