3. Comb

How to Style:

1. Dampen hair.
2. Set your trimmer to either a 1 or a 2 level setting.
3. Part your hair with a comb so that the section you intend to keep longer is on top, and clip it.

2. Apply hair gel into the hair and spread evenly with a comb.
3. Take the round brush, and brush your hair backwards while drying it with the hairdryer.
4. Between every minute of drying, tousle the hair in a back combing fashion with your fingers to maintain the natural curly texture.
5. Once the hair is sufficiently dried in place, use the round brush to smoothen out the edges and brush the hair at the back for a neater look.

3. Side-Swept

A side-swept look is all about effortless chic. To recreate this look, you will need:

1. Comb
2. Hairdryer(optional)
3. Texturing gel or pomade

How to:

1. Begin by dampening your hair and combing it over.
2. Apply the texturing gel or a pearl sized drop of pomade into the hair and comb it in until evenly spread.
3. With the help of the comb, part your hair to the side desired. Preferably, comb a major chunk of the hair to the side where the hairline lacks in structure.
4. Now slowly comb over the side part, and dry the hair with a dryer. Do not make the hair bone dry in the process.

4. Slicked Back

The classic formal look of slicking your hair back hardly ever fails.

What you need:

1. Comb
2. Sea Salt spray
3. Hairspray

How to:

1. Begin by applying the sea salt spray onto damp hair so as to get your natural curls to stick together.
2. Then apply a hair wax or a clay which can retain the slicked back style.
3. Evenly spread the wax through the hair with your fingers in a push back motion and do not open up the curls which are already setting.
4. Comb over in the same direction as you have slicked your hair back.

5. Curly Fringe

 

A curly fringe is a haircut wherein the top length of the hair is cut keeping in mind the direction of the fringe required. The hair on the top of the head will be longer in length than the ones on the side.

This can be styled easily and without much effort. A simple sea salt spray in the hair in front, along with a finger combing should suffice. The aim of a fringe is to let it hang on the face.

6. Man-Bun

A man bun is the male version of the best lazy girl lifestyle hack. For this, one only needs a comb and a sturdy elastic band.

How to:

1. Comb over hair to detangle.
2. Push all the hair up to the level where the bun is intended to be made.
3. Then keeping a strong hold on the section of hair to be made into a bun, twist the hair and then roll it right up on the apex of the head.
4. A low bun can be made by simply pulling the hair together in a ponytail, and leaving the hair elastic in a half tuck.

7. Messy Curls

The classic messy curls are best achieved naturally. There are more than a few ways to get there without having to stock up on beauty products.

Slept-in Curls:

One way to easily achieve this look is by washing your hair in the night, applying your regular serum or mousse evenly through the hair, and then wrapping the hair lightly in a t-shirt. Make sure to not wrap tightly because that causes breakage. Do not comb over in the morning, simply sift through the hair with your fingertips.

8. Short Crop

A short crop curls is a bunch of choppy curls which lay on the top of the head.

What you need:

1. Comb
2. Clippers
3. Scissor

How to:

1. Gather sections of hair and put clippers to keep them in place.
2. Cut each section into even lengths as desired.
3. The aim is to have a crop, so feel free to go as short as you want, but keep the top close but curly still.
4. To finish, add a texturizing serum and finish with hairspray to set.

9. Curly Bob

A curly bob can be of two kinds – either it can be a long bob reaching your shoulders, or a short bob reaching just below the ear. Curly hair can be difficult to cut a bob in, and so the hair should be wet before cutting.

Maintaining a bob of curly hair is simple.

1. Apply a small quantity of hair gel or serum into your palms, rub together, and run through the hair evenly.
2. Then gather the curls in your palms and fist them to give them a tousled, but organized look.
3. Let the hair air dry.

10. Full Curls

Rollers and curling irons can be used to achieve the proper full curl look. However, in the interest of hair health, heat application should be avoided.

Rollers are easily available at your nearest drugstore and can be used in the following manner:

1. Untangle damp hair and divide into 8 sections.
2. Pick each section and lengthen the curls before placing a roller in it and roll upwards.
3. Do not push the hair into submission. Simply roll towards the roots.
4. Then pin the roller into all sections and wrap a damp towel on your head for about half an hour to an hour – depending on the intensity of curls desired, and unwrap.

11. Curly Tail

A curly tail is a curly ponytail, which ends with curls. This works well on mid length hair.

What you need:

1. Comb
2. Mousse or pomade
3. Elastic band

How to:

1. Begin with drying your hair off after applying some pomade or mousse through it when damp.
2. Push the hair back and hold it to whatever level you intend to make the ponytail at.
3. Secure with elastic band. Take a small portion of mousse or wax in your palm, rub together and crimp the end of the ponytail for natural looking curls.

12. Cupid Curls

Cupid curls are tight curls which are close to the head. This is a style reminiscent of Justin Timberlake from his NSync days.

How to:

1. Leave in salt spray in the hair overnight, and wrap in damp cloth.
2. Instead of opening up the curls the next morning, just shake off the excess moisture.
3. Use a hairdryer from a distance and let the curls set.

13. Hard Part Curls

A hard part is a definite parting made with a razor. This part disconnects the top of the head from the hair below.

The best way to achieve this is to keep the curls tight on the top of the head and have a tapering fade on the bottom half. To separate the two, set the razor or trimmer to its lowest setting and carefully go over the part in the hair with it. This is risky when done at home, unless you have a steady hand and practice.

14. Salt Spray Curls

Salt spray is the most convenient method to get beautifully set curls. Salt sprays available at brands such as TGI or L’Oréal.

A recipe for home-made salt spray is:

1. Put some warm water into a spray bottle.
2. Add one teaspoon of Epsom salts to the mix, and another tablespoon of Himalayan salt and mix.
3. Add a few drops of jojoba oil.
4. Finish with a few drops of essential oils and apply as needed.
