When you have a big event coming up, you want your hair to look its best.
That means having bouncy, beautiful curls that will last all night long.
Unfortunately, achieving this can be easier said than done. Curls have a tendency to fall flat or become frizzy throughout the night, which can ruin your look.
Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to help your curls last longer. With a little bit of preparation, you can keep your hair looking gorgeous all night long.
Here are seven tips to help your curls last longer for any special event:
-
Start With Clean, Dry Hair
The first step to creating long-lasting curls is to start with clean, dry hair.
If your hair is greasy, your curls won’t last as long as they could. Likewise, if your hair is damp, your curls may fall flat by the end of the night.
To prevent this, start with clean, dry hair. You can either wash your hair the morning of the event or the night before.
If you wash your hair the night before, make sure it’s completely dry before you go to bed. You can either let it air dry or use a blow dryer to speed up the process.
-
Use a Curl-Enhancing Product
You don’t need to use a lot of products to create long-lasting curls, but you should use some.
There are many different types of curl-enhancing products out there, so you can choose the one that works best for your hair type.
If you have fine hair, you may want to try a mousse or a curl-enhancing spray. If you have thick hair, you may want to try a curl-enhancing gel.
-
Create a Loose Braid or Bun
Once you’ve applied your curl-enhancing product, you can create a loose braid or bun. This will help your hair keep its shape overnight.
Start by dividing your hair into two sections. Then, create a loose braid or bun on each side.
If you have long hair, you may want to secure your braid or bun with a hair tie. If you have short hair, you may not need to secure it at all.
-
Use a Diffuser
If you have a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment, you can use this to help your curls last longer. Diffusers help to distribute heat evenly, which can help to prevent frizz.
To use a diffuser, start by lightly towel-drying your hair. Next, apply a curl-enhancing product and comb it through your hair.
When your hair is about 70% dry, put your blow dryer in a cool setting and use the diffuser to dry your hair.
-
Don’t Touch Your Hair
Once you’ve styled your hair, it’s important to avoid touching it as much as possible. Curls can fall flat if you run your fingers through them too often.
If you have to touch your hair, try to do so as lightly as possible. You can also avoid touching your hair by wearing it in a loose bun or braid throughout the night.
-
Sleep on a Satin Pillowcase
If you want your curls to last longer, you should consider sleeping on a satin pillowcase. Satin pillowcases help to prevent frizz and can help your curls stay in place.
If you don’t have a satin pillowcase, you can use a satin scarf or bonnet. You can also try sleeping on a silk pillowcase, which is also good for preventing frizz.
-
Touch Up Your Curls
If you find that your curls have fallen a bit flat by the end of the night, you can touch them up. To touch up your curls, simply use your fingers to rearrange your hair.
You can also use a curling iron to curl the sections of your hair that have fallen flat. If you have time, you can even redo your entire hairstyle.
