Free Way

To redefine your ‘fro, apply Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding on wet hair from roots to ends before drying with a diffuser.

Volume and texture define this free and easy ‘fro. Care for your curls with Miss Jessie’s Curly Pudding.

Loosen Up

If your locks aren’t naturally curly, you can achieve a similar look with a roller set. Be creative and use plastic drinking straws or flexible rods to create curls. Nexxus Silken Smoothing Conditioner adds moisture and fights frizz.

Curl Power

To get this look, replenish curls with Phytospecific Instant Booster and Energizer, then apply to wet hair before twisting it into small sections around your index finger.

Twist and Roll

For this look, take the front portion of your hair (about three inches in width, two inches in thickness) and twist it up. Apply Terex Life Drops to moisturize hair before styling.

Curly Cue

Before styling, apply a setting lotion and a conditioning cream, like Luster’s Pink Oil Moisturizer, from roots to ends to keep frizz in check.

Catch the Wave

To achieve this look, blow-dry the roots on a cool setting with a wide-tooth comb to create volume. Add a quarter size of Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade after styling to keep curls intact.

The Undone Do

This style was created by double-strand-twisting the hair with ISO Bouncy Curl Definer and then drying it under a hooded dryer. Locks are untwisted, separated and fingered into shape to finish the look.

The Big Time

Megavolume is the key to this statement-making mane. Hold volume and keep curls in place with L’Oreal Elnett Hair Spray.

New Heights

Beat the frizz and maximize volume with a curl enhancer such as Nexxus Silken Smoothing Conditioner.
