Loose curly hairstyles are among the most popular hairstyles for women of all age. The loose curls come as look somewhere between the regular curl and the wave. They are soft, elegant, romantic and feminine. Loose hair curls can be done on each hair length, so no matter what is your current hairstyle you can always try it in a big curl pattern.

How to Determine Your Curl Pattern

To determine the right and exact curl pattern depends on various things. First of all, it is determined by the shape of the follicle that the hair grows out of the scalp. If the follicle is oval shaped or flat, the hair will be curlier.

If the cross-section is more circular than the hair will be straighter. What also identifies the curl pattern is the shape of the strands that hair makes. They can kink, curve, wind around which all determines the curl pattern.

How to Get Loose Curls On Hair With and Without Heat

Getting loose curly hair or at least a look that resembles loose waves can be done with and without the use of heat. When using heat, this means pretty much that you are using some tool that will curl your hair. That can be a curler, hair straightener, hairdryer, hot brush, and other tools that help the hair curl.

Doing the process of curling with use of heat means exposing the heat to excessive heat which long-term use, will eventually damage, dry and break the hair. however, as soon as the curls are done with any of these tools, the curls should be sprayed with hairspray because they might fall down and the effect will not be as desired.

Prepping the hair before the curling is also very important. When doing the curling without using heat, that means that you are using some product like hair mousse that curls the hair. Also, the cold or rubber curlers might get the job done. With them, you will need more time, let’s say at least 2 hours if you want to get nice curls.
