The Tousle Curly Look
 The beach baby tousle look is making a comeback this year, evident by
the fact that people are already seeing modifications to the classic
version. The living is easy with this look. A basic routine will make it
even easier. The tousle and wavy look is easy to achieve in a few steps.
The variations are endless and should be explored as you discover that
this sexy look is the one that easily moves into the bed head look.
Two quick looks are as follows:
- With a slightly layered cut, fingerpick through the strands to
create a soft wavy curl, and then allow them to cascade freely as
though they have a mind of their own. With a slight sweep to the
back, held in place with your favorite styling products, your tousle
is ready for a work day. The more casual version is to fingerpick
creating waves. Tug on your curls a bit to let them relax. Still
soft and allowing the bounce you are carrying off the bed head look,
this works beautifully.
- The next look is more glam and of the pin up style of the 50’s.
Termed the “wet look,” roll your hair in pin curls. Wait until
strands are completely dry. (Allow to dry naturally to discourage
frizz) Take your round wide tooth brush and create your glam waves,
coming to your shoulders or below. Hair is kept close to the scalp
overall. An antique hair pin, or pins, from the day is the proper
accessory. Style is layered. The glam look is not so much a mismatch
as it is a compliment of one detail to the other.
For a more definitive routine to care for your curly hair, taking
into consideration the care and health of your hair, review the
specific steps below. You may not need, or want, to adopt the entire
routine; it’s designed for you to pick and choose what steps do
apply to you, and maybe a step or two that you are happy to learn!
-
 Shampoo and condition your hair for your hair type. Remember
your hair has a difficult time holding moisture. A deep
conditioner treatment once a week is recommended. If your hair
is colored, then consider using a color enhancing shampoo. This
will help offset any damage as the result of coloring.
- Rinse your hair in cool water. This will help build volume
and add to the overall shine of your hair.
- Towel dry with a blotting technique, as curly hair is very
fragile while wet. Detangle from bottom of the strand to the
root of the strand.
- Prep your hair with a moisturizing styling cream or mousse.
- If your hair is curly beyond belief, use a straightening
balm to reduce frizz and straighten strands.
- This is when you decide to fingerpick or use a brush. If
time is running out, a good brush in a medium size, made of boar
bristle used carefully will speed up the process. Working from
side to side, dry a section at a time using your brush to
straighten your curl.
- Immediately roll your hair in Velcro rollers. The heat your
curls
 are holding from the blow dryer will transfer to the
curler; allow the curler to cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Hot
rollers are not necessary if you will work with your blower and
curls in this manner.
- Take the rollers out, use your natural brush to create a
saucy bouncy look of your curls. If you prefer the messier look
of your tousle, then pick out with your fingers.
Finish with a holding product of your choice and made for
your hair. Your tousle will be admired throughout the day!
