Oh, Curly Hair! The love-hate relationship we have with our tresses is definitely relatable by curlies world-over. From sprightly on point curls on certain days to waking up looking like Hagrid at times, curly hair makes every day interesting!

When it comes to hairstyles, a lot of curlies are at a loss of how to flaunt their crowning glory. Well, look no further for here's a list of fun and doable hairstyles to rock your curls:

The Curly Ponytail : Kick it old school and tie your hair into a ponytail using a scrunchie or high up with a puff-cuff. It’s comfortable, chic and adds a natural bounce to your curls.
Curly Updo : Wondering how to handle your day 3/4 curls? Simply updo! Gather your curls into a high topknot for a statement look. This does even adds definition and height to rounder face shapes.
Volumized Curls : On wash or refresh days, simply finger-coil your strands with a mousse or conditioner and then diffuse for natural loose curls with a side of pizzazz!
Half-Up Half-Down : Here’s a low maintenance do that pays off big time in terms of style. Channel your inner celebrity and try the hairdo that catches the paparazzi cameras on casual strolls. Simply grab the top half of your hair, smoothen it with your hands and maybe a little mousse and tie the section with a fabric scrunchie. This look keeps hair out of your face and still flaunts your natural curl pattern.
Born this Way : Maybe this isn’t a case of #WokeUpLikeThis, but, hey, no one has to know! Simply plop your hair down, run your favourite leave-in conditioner through the strands and air-dry for an au natural look that celebrates the best of your natural curls!
Braid ‘Em : Braids are timeless and practically made for curly hair! From classics like the Khaleesi braid to even a simple two-sided cowgirl do, braids are versatile and add an instant sense of fun. Experiment with braids and go with whatever suits your curl type or the shape of your face, or simply whatever you feel like rocking on a given day!
Sock Bun : Who says you can’t keep your curls away from your face? Try the classic sock-bun do for a look that lasts all-day from work to play. Simply gather your hair into a high ponytail, slip in a hair donut (or a balled-up sock, with an opening of course) and evenly spread your curls around it. Secure minimally with bobby pins and you’re good to go!
Twisted Ponytail : Add a twist, literally, to your ponytail to flaunt your curls. Divide your hair into three sections – wider in the middle with two smaller side sections. Tie the centre section into a ponytail. Then, take one side segment, twirl and pin to the opposite side around the ponytail. Repeat with the remaining segment. Once done, fluff up your curls and slay!
Scarf -wrapped Pineapple : For another fun way to flaunt the pineapple, take a scarf and tie it at the base of your ponytail, close to your hairline. Spread the scarf out at the back and also tuck in the loose ends of the scarf. Keep the knot beneath the scarf and let your gorgeous curls spill out of the opening. Fancy yet fuss-free!
Bantu Knots : Get snazzy with some Bantu knots! This one is a bold option so experiment and go with what you feel comfortable with. Simply section your hair into multiple segments, twist tightly and secure. You can either do just the front portion or go all-out and cover the entire surface area of your hair!
Spiced Up Bun : Simply add some fun to a boring bun with a patterned bandana or headband for some instant chic and character!

What about haircuts with curly hair?

It all comes down to your stylist. Find a hairdresser who knows how to handle your precious curls. Check in advance if the salon has experience with curly hair and CG friendly products.
Go to the salon with your natural curls. Avoid pinning your hair or putting in a bun so the stylist can analyse your curl pattern before cutting it.
Pin it! Pin your favourite hairdos and inspiration but not your hair. Show the stylist a few images of what you expect to ensure that you don’t end up with a nasty mullet or #HairFail.
Don’t compromise on products. Explain to the salon about your CG journey and carry your own shampoo and styling products if they don’t have them stocked.
Don’t shy away from layers. Layers help spread the curl weight and add natural volume go add extra bounce to your natural curls.

If you’re naturally bestowed with curly hair, chances are high that searching for befitting curly hair products is a constant struggle! Since curly and wavy hair textures are especially prone to damage and dryness, choosing the right hair care products that offer sufficient moisture and nourishment is paramount. That’s why we’ve created Curl Up! Our products are uniquely formulated to cater to the needs of naturally curly and wavy Indian hair so you can flaunt your crowning glory! And, it doesn’t stop there - if you’re looking for sulfate, paraben and silicone-free, highly moisturizing hair care solutions, then Curl Up is the one for you! Our products are infused with the right amount of deeply nourishing natural ingredients to make your curls bounce happily ever after!

The Curl Up line

Whether you’re a pro at the Curly Girl Method or just getting started with your Curly Girl Journey, you’ll find using Curl Up’s line greatly rewarding! To make every strand bounce with joy, we recommend a three-step methodology to ensure that your curls get the nourishment they need while looking their best.

1. Cleanse with Curl Moisturizing Shampoo: Lively curls start with a good cleanse. Our Curl Moisturizing Shampoo has natural ingredients like Chia Seed extract, Argan oil, a range of rich antioxidants and Vitamin E. Our moisturizing shampoo is coconut-based, and therefore, helps mildly cleanse your scalp and curls without stripping away natural oils.

How to cleanse: Thoroughly wet your hair and scalp and gently massage the shampoo for a few minutes. Once done, rinse thoroughly. The result is well-moisturized and soft curls!

2. Condition with Curl Hydrating Conditioner: The next step after shampooing is conditioning. Our Curl Hydrating Conditioner is infused with Argan oil, Flax Seed extract, and Chia Seed extracts to offer ultra-lush nourishment for your curls. Moreover, our conditioner offers great slip which makes it easier to detangle your curls.

How to condition: Once done shampooing, apply a generous amount of conditioner all over your curls. If your hair is very frizzy, use more of our Curl Hydrating Conditioner. After applying, leave it on for 3 - 5 minutes, and rinse thoroughly to get hydrated and breakage-free curls.

3. Style with Curl Defining Cream: The last step in attaining gorgeous curls is styling with our leave-in Curl Defining Cream. Packed with nourishing natural ingredients such as Shea butter, Argan oil, Flax Seed extract, and Vitamins A, C, and E, this targeted combo helps reduce frizz and adds more shine and sheen to your curls.

How to style: After conditioning with our Curl Hydrating Conditioner, apply the Curl Defining Cream uniformly on all segments of wet hair. Feel free to experiment a few times to determine the right amount needed for your hair length and texture. Once done, scrunch wet curls upwards with bare hands. Repeat this across segments to encourage well-defined curl patterns. You can either air-dry or diffuse your curls. Once completely dry, gently scrunch your hair to break the cast and get-set to flaunt soft, bouncy curls!
