How to Get Consistent Results with Curly Hair + Exciting News!
Does your curly hair turn out differently every time you wash and style? This is common and normal, but there are some tips you can
Today I’m putting more styling techniques to the test, and comparing my results side-by-side. Many people with curls like styling their hair upside down, because they can work on creating curl clumps while getting great volume. I typically style my curls in the upright position because I can work on perfecting the way my curls will lay and ensure there is not frizz on top.
| Pros Less shedding Less tangles Less breakage More scalp coverage More definition at the root Hair doesn’t fall in your face | Cons Less volume (without implementing the techniques shown in the video) |
| Pros Volume at the root Larger clumps | Cons More shedding More tangles Separation in the back Frizzy roots Stretched out roots Hair falls in your face |
Overall, I had a clear preference in my results and liked how my hair looked better with the upright routine. Honestly, it was hard to come up with any pros with the upside down routine. I can get volume and large clumps even with upright styling by using various techniques that I show in the video.
I think I also didn’t like the upside down routine because I have low density hair so it’s more likely to show scalp. Upright styling allows me to work on placing my curls and situating them to where my scalp is covered. Since my hair is high porosity, the raised cuticle layer causes it to stick to the scalp and the hair’s around it. I also struggle with frizz at the root, so when I style upright I can smooth that frizz and work with my part more.
Do you prefer upright or upside down styling? Let me know!
