Top Tips for Cute Curls

We know summer can be a tough time for curly girls—hello, frizz season!

Don’t fret. We chatted up hair expert Keneesha Hudson, owner of Urbanbella.com, who spilled some seriously stylish tips for getting amazing curls. You’ll have a cute ‘do in no time.


1. Back away from the towel

We know you the first thing you do when you get outta the shower is take a towel to those tresses. Turns out, toweling down your strands just amps up the frizz-factor. “Absolutely no towel drying!” Keneesha swears. Wrap yourself in a robe and let hair drip dry for a little (think: instant cool-down!).


2. Act Fast!

“The best trick for curls is applying styling gel and cream immediately after rinsing out conditioner,” she tells us. “Your curls are at their most defined when they are sopping wet so you want to essentially freeze them by applying product.” Your ringlets will stay defined for way longer.

3. Call in back-ups!

A girl can’t go it alone, especially when it comes to hair. Sweep your hair off your face by using cute clips. “I absolutely cannot do without rhinestone butterfly clips,” Keneesha confesses. “I can pin up my hair in the back for a quick updo or pull back my bangs to show off my eyes.” Love the versatility!
