3 Gorgeous Ways to Style Natural Hair
Hairstylist Anthony Dickey of the Hair Rules Salon in New York City showed three women how to make their natural texture full, frizz-free—and very flattering.
Full, Defined Curls
Rosanne Guararra, 55
1. Rosanne has fine hair, which can be weighed down by heavy styling creams or lotions. To create frizz-proof but still bouncy curls, Dickey combed a lightweight gel through her hair while it was wet.
2. To enhance Rosanne's curls, Dickey blow-dried them with a diffuser. If you have long hair, flip your head upside down while you diffuse to get more volume on top.
3. When Rosanne's hair was 100 percent dry, Dickey rubbed a dime-size amount of oil-based styling cream between his palms, then gently scrunched her curls at the ends. The cream adds shine and prevents hair from poufing up.
