Curly Hair - A Curly Hair Guide to Looking Good

The straight look might be the in thing now but curly hair definitely continues to be in fashion. Through ages, naturally curly hair has been a proof of beauty, versatility and sexiness that is usually considered lacking in the straight hair.

For instance, look at Hollywood star Minnie Driver. The brunette's sexy curls make her a favorite among photographers and also among the best looking divas who continue to be unfazed by the straight hair look that's sweeping in.

Depending on your face shape and personality, curly hair can be remodeled into a range of hairstyles that can look sleek as well sexy at the same time. If it is of the medium length leave it loose and let it frame your face in an umbrella like fashion, naturally defining your facial features. At the same time, it will soften the contours of your face and give you a fresh youthful look.
 
In fact, layers look great on curly hair. A professional hairstylist will know the exact layers and style that will flatter the face shape. This kind of hair usually is best if left loose.

Curly hair does not necessarily mean that you are out of fashion. Take, for example, Sarah Jessica Parker, another celebrity with curly hairstyle credentials that are beyond question.  She carries her hairstyle with elan, and despite the current straight hair fashion trend, refuses to alter the natural wave of her hair thus compromising her hair's health. Curly unlike straight hair, never has the chance to look limp and boring.

What is then the best curly hairstyle to have? Well, experts suggest that the best curly hairstyle that you can have is the one that combines your hairstyle as well as the care for your hair. If you are blessed with naturally curly air, love it. Nourish it and take care of it instead of going to extreme limits to straighten it to be a part of the fashion crowd. Apart from long flowing wavy hair, short cults too look great on curly hair. Make a short bob that envelops your face and you can retain for a long time your youthful schoolgirl look.

Choose a hairstylist who understands your basic hair structure and respects curls. He will know ways to cut your curly hair to make you look and feel fashionable. Do not go to hairstylist who will make you feel down for having a hair that cannot be easily straightened. Remember, the whole idea is to look good and glamorous and not just to have a straight hair and be in fashion. 
 
Keep in mind that it is quite tough to maintain curly hair than it is to manage other hair types. So make sure that you take proper care of your hair and especially wash them daily.  Do not brush or comb them too vigorously as they tend to damage the natural shape of the hair. Consequently, the hair will look very drab and dull.
 
Perms might be out of fashion, but curly and wavy hair are still very much in. So do not be disheartened if you have curly hair; make the best use of your hairstylist that brings out the best in your hair and makes you proud of your curls.
 
Remember, straightening might not be good for the health of your hair, especially if it is very curly.
