10 Easy Hairstyles for Fine Curly Hair
23 April 2018

“An easy way to add volume to a ponytail is to create two! First, create a horseshoe section up top. Then, push the section forward and loosely secure the ponytail with an elastic, clip or bobby pins. Gather the hair that falls from that ponytail and secure it into a loose, low ponytail with the bottom half of the hair.

Tug the upper horseshoe section so that it doesn’t lay flat against the scalp and leave loose tendrils near the ears.”

10% off the Bounce Curl Brush through the link in my bio. Do you make any of these "mistakes"? While there is no right or wrong way to do your curls, try these alternative techniques if you struggle with sectioning and brush styling. ❌ Not brushing through your hair before sectioning and it not being wet enough. ✅ Ensure your hair is evenly wet and brush through. You can apply leave-in or cream first. 👉🏼Why? It will be difficult to create clean sections lines with tangles in the way. ❌ Leaving the hair stuck to your head after brushing. ✅ Run your fingers through your hair, lifting the hair away from the scalp. 👉🏼Why? This creates space at the root so your fingers can get below the hair to create clean lines. ❌ Not creating clean lines. ✅ Create clean section lines by placing 2 fingers around your hairline and gliding back until they meet, continually pressing down on the scalp and remaining under the hair. Meet your fingers in the back, grab the above section, and split apart the hair. 👉🏼Why? If you don't have a clean line you will likely accidentally snag the other section while styling. ❌ Not securing the hair above upwards and letting it droop down over the line. ✅ Comb the above section up and secure it snug with a claw clip. Avoid duckbill clips and anything that is too loose. 👉🏼Why? If the top section is falling over the section line, you're likely to snag it when styling. ❌ Not securing back your sections after styling them. ✅ Clip away the finished sections with another claw clip. 👉🏼Why? This prevents you from accidentally picking up hairs that have already been styled and mixing them in. ⭐️️BONUS TIP⭐️ ❌ Grabbing sections that are too large or too small in your brush when brush styling. ✅ Ensure your section is not wider than your brush. Ensure it's not too small to where there is no tension to grab the hair. 👉🏼Why? If it's too large it will fall out, tangle up, or not properly clump the curls. If it's too small it will fall out and not curl up since there is not enough tension. Watch the full YT video to learn more. I go over my entire sectioning routine and brush styling in detail for beginners. #︎curlyhairstyling #stylingcurlyhair #curlyhairtips #brushstyling #curlyhairmistakes
