Here are the curly hair pictures Nicole showed in this video:
Embrace your curls—and your natural beauty:
Thank you for this! As a 4/1, my hair is very similar to the second picture in the type 4 frame of this video. My hair was very straight until the last 6 years or so, but has changed considerably due to hormonal influences. I am looking forward to future videos on this topic.
I had a hair consultation with you and loved your feedback. I got a cut and color similar to a picture you sent. I’m a naturally blonde, wavy haired 4/2 and I’ve gone to a lighter blonde with my hair. If my hair is straight, the color looks right but when I fix it curly, the color looks more blended. I’m not sure if the color is saturated enough but my hairstylist is concerned that I will lose my curl if we’re not careful. What are your thoughts? Will T4 blonde curls hair have variation in color due to shadows anyway? If I’m overthinking this, you can just say so. Ha!
By the way, I saw pictures of you from the ILML event and you looked beautiful. Thank you for all your help! I’m looking forward to your future videos on curls!
Thank you Julie! My guess is that you are probably overthinking it:) lol However, if your stylist is concerned about your curls being damaged from highlights, you could use a product called Olaplex. This helps rebuild bonds in the hair. Your hair stylist should know about it and if she doesn’t, look for some on-line:) That way, you can have plenty of highlights AND curly hair:) You’re wonderful!
I was going to say the same, Linda. It feels to me like curly or wavy hair is much more common in the T2 world, as well. Mine is as straight as can be.
Nicole has plans to produce a straight haired version of this video soon!
Looking forward to see a inspiration film on that topic .
I have straight hair. And would like to use as little chemicals as possible in colouring and other styling products for my hair.
Do you have any ecological tips and tricks to share with us?
Johanna, this is Kathy from Carol’s support team. Nicole is putting information together to video soon. Please be sure to check your email to see when the video is posted. Thank you.
I recently cut, coloured and highlighted by naturally very curly hair. As a T3 I enjoy this new cut so much. It’s fast and east to style, dries quicker than my longer hair and I’m really digging this symmetrical cut!
I have always had come texture to my hair. Before DYT I used to just say it was bent wrong! LOL I would constantly fight it. Now, I’ve embraced it and learned to work with it. It’s so nice not be fighting against it all the time! My type 1 loves the randomness of it now. I used to hate that. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/91a0233832f14d9c2595e59b6ee6aacad32c24f2a659d925d550c778a7978271.jpg
You’re looking fabulous!!!
Thank you!!!
I have watched the other video that shows us how to bring out the curl/wave in our hair. I can do that with no problem. I have thick, curlywavy hair that is layered to chin length. I like the length but I feel the style is too rounded with all that curl. I am a type 3 who wants more angle/edge but I don’t know how to work with all the curl.
Pamala, I would suggest a DYT on-line hair consultation. This can give you very specific details on how to get the edgy look to your curl and get the correct haircut to support your natural curl. If the style is too rounded, the haircut shape needs some support:)
Hmm…I have not embraced my natural wave. I tried going curly for a few months, but it really didn’t work for me. The crown area doesn’t have as much wave as the rest, and it never looked “curly on purpose.” I felt it looked like I hadn’t done my hair in 3 weeks. And it always went super flat, even if I diffused it. No matter what I try, it looks messy. I tried many of the suggestions in the curly hair tutorial. I also hated how tangly it always was. It didn’t feel right not to brush my hair. Any thoughts or suggestions?
It’s possible that you don’t have enough texture to wear it on it’s own. You could choose to perm your hair in a natural, textured wave, OR support your hair with flat iron waves OR wrap pieces of hair around a 1 in curling iron to get some wave into the pieces that have trouble curling. It sounds like your hair just needs a little added support:) Curly hair can be “picked” through but not brushed daily, if this is an issue for you, perhaps straight hair will suit you best.
Thank you Nicole! 🙂
How do you feel about getting perms? Is it a good option for people who like curls or do you shy away from them because it’s not the natural state of the hair? Thanks! (T1 here and my photo shows my permed hair.)
Perms are excellent! Whatever supports you in experiencing your happy hair day, everyday:) You look super cute!
Thank you Nicole! I appreicate it!
The springy type two pic was the exact photo I took to my appointment last August when I shortened my curls just a bit above my shoulder (not quite as far as the photo) My color is close and my curls are very similar to that photo since I”ve been supporting them by getting curly cuts at Curl Evolution Salon (A Deva Curl salon) and using non-sulfate products that support the extra moisture my curls need because of my natural texture plus the beating my hair takes in the swimming pool (I am in the pool 6 days a week most weeks for my job). I finally took my Jon Snow type https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/334f628ca97e48781874c981bbe033190def79a5241bd0da7a63ef170b608bb7.jpg curly haired son’s advice last December to go for the curly cut. Getting the curly cut was the key. They gave a tutorial about styling and written directions to take home with names of products used and all the details… perfect for my T2 nature.
