Bouncy curls bring vitality and movement to any hairstyle, so go ahead and celebrate your hair texture with a hairstylist who is able to realise the desired outlook of your hair.As Readen Chia, Associate Salon Director of Chez Vous, explains:“Not all stylists are adequately trained and well-versed with curly hair. Conventional haircut techniques might not be applicable to curly hair, so it’s crucial to get a stylist who truly understands your hair texture.” She adds that curly hair is also prone to the undoings of Singapore’s humidity “because moisture in the air is easily trapped in curly hair, causing it to swell and shift out of place.” For bouncy curls sans fly a ways, try P hy to’ s Curl Energizing Cream, which smooths frizz and locks in shine, thanks to all-natural ingredients like acacia collagen, ginseng root and sunflower extracts. “Many women resist their natural curls and resort to flat-ironing their hair daily because of a lack of the appropriate knowledge and skills to manage them,” observes Chia. In fact, there are many products that can help curly hair realise its full buoyant potential. Kérastase’s Discipline Mousse Curl Idéal, for example, adds definition to curly hair without weighing tresses down for a light and airy effect. Or try Percy & Reed’s Perfectly Perfecting Wonder Balm, a multi-tasking styling product that moisturises, keeps out humidity, treats, protects and helps maintain your style so you don’t have to worry about a single strand being out of place throughout the day. ■
