CURLY HAIR TRENDS & SELF-CARE AFTER COVID (Curly girl edition)
There is always a need to change up one’s look and switch up to something new. For 2022, a lot of styles reflect on the styles women adopted to being in quarantine and also for some who want to come out bold. In case you are wondering what hairstyle you want to try out. Here are the curly trends for 2022.
- CURLY FRO TEXTURE
With being quarantined and having no access to the salon, a lot of women let their natural hair do whatever it wanted to do. There was less styling or trying to manipulate the curls with women becoming comfortable letting their natural texture shine. Investing in taking care of hair at home and less styling, women have been confident embracing their curls and wearing their curly fros more out.
- FACE-FRAMING HIGHLIGHTS
Also known as the money piece. Adding highlights to the hair has been a timeless look and the curly hair girls in 2022 are loving it! Created by highlighting the curls at the front of the face with a balayage. The highlighting will add depth and dimension, and accentuate your facial features. Additionally, helps give the curls a more vibrant and defined look.
- CLAW CLIPS
Very popular in the 2000s and seem to be making a comeback in the curly hair community. They are a great alternative to wearing a ponytail. Simply twist the curls up and secure them by clipping the claw clip in place. Do not worry it will not damage your curls as it will not be tight on the hair.
SELF-CARE AFTER COVID
When the pandemic happened, salons closed down. Being stuck at home, a lot of women reduced the amount of time spent taking care of their hair and adapted to more low-maintenance curly hair routines. Others completely lost track of caring for their curls. Even as we leave this covid era taking care of the hair might not feel like a priority to some.
Self-care has not been as necessary as it is now. Taking care of your hair is a form of self-care. It may feel like a consuming task but hair care will help you improve your routines especially if you are in a slump. When the hair is healthy and great it will boost your self-esteem. When you look good you feel good.
