How to tie short and long curly hair

Rebellious and voluminous, curly hair are perfect to wear both loose and tied in many different ways. The curly hairstyles are the perfect mix between a chic look and a wild mood. So let’s see together what are the best ways to tie your rebellious curly hair.

Hairstyles for short and medium curly hair

The luck of having curly hair is to have a lot of “material” available that can be used for a hairstyle. One of the most suitable ideas could be to create a fake chignon using the support of bobby pins (and a lot of patience!): create a microchignon and leave the forehead locks completely free, for a glamorous and comfortable look. If you don’t want to give up the wild character of your curls, then you will have to fix the hairpins on the nape in a completely random way. If instead you prefer a bon ton hairstyle, then we suggest to apply a small dose of modeling paste for curly hair on the hair before styling to ensure a more disciplined and shiny hair.

If your hair reaches a medium length, then you can have fun with a wide range of DIY curly hair hairstyles, arming yourself not only with a brush, but also with headbands, flowers and much more. Have you ever thought, for example, of braids as a hairstyle for your hair? Well, if you haven’t, then it’s time to start thinking about it. Braids are perfect for those who want to be able to “tame” even the most frizzy curls. Making them is far from difficult: all you have to do is divide your hair into three voluminous locks and make a braid with each of these. Once finished, all you have to do is collect them and fix them on the nape using the bobby pins. Et voila, your hairstyle is ready. A little tip: even before starting to make braids, model your curls with a cream for curly hair and help yourself with your hands, so that they open properly.

Hairstyles for long curly hair

You can really enjoy making simple hairstyles for curly hair, such as the so-called ananan, which is an unusual but perfect ponytail for thick and voluminous hair. Do it in a few simple steps: first, collect the hair as if forming a high tail and tie it with an elastic without tightening your grip too much, so that the curls fall on your forehead and along your face. For a perfect hairstyle you will need a spiral elastic, which will allow you to tie your hair without exerting too much pressure around the circumference of the tail, thus allowing some strands to fall in a completely random yet adequate way. In short, a perfect hairstyle for both day and evening.

Knowing how to manage curly hair will also allow you to create a varied series of curly hairstyles collected, with a retro and romantic taste. One of the most beautiful ideas, in this case, is to create a hairstyle halfway between a tail and a braid, a truly ideal mix for those who love a chic look. First, take 2/3 strands at the top of the head and make small braids to be stopped with invisible elastic bands. At this point, tie your hair – including braids – into a low, side tail. To close the tail, choose a clip that best suits your look, so as to further amplify the romantic effect of the hairstyle. And if you want to give it an extra touch of style, the suggestion is to use a polishing spray that makes hair shiny.

An annoying and common problem, but easy to solve in some steps.

A not correct hair care routine can be the cause of hair knots. There are, however, solutions to untangle them and finally have a bright and great hair style, without stress.

Let’s see how to avoid hair knots:

Hair knots: causes

Hair full of knots? Can happen if they are dry or brittle, especially if long, frizzy and curly. Another cause is rubbing against the pillow at night. Or against clothes, especially in winter, due to the use of scarves, pullovers and hats. Some bad habits can create difficult knots to untangle, like not brushing them often, or with unsuitable combs; as well as the use of aggressive products for washing and styling. If you have split ends, or damaged hair, you could easily end up with knots at the end of the lengths. Achieving a bright, hydrated and knot-free hair is a possible goal: just follow some simple daily beauty rules.

Hair knots: solutions

First of all, use specific and quality hair products that can make the difference. Like the Hydrating Shampoo, ideal for all hair types, it has a protective action and gives softness, shine and vitality. Pair it with an equally moisturizing conditioner: the Hydrating Conditioner is designed to nourish damaged hair and obtain a healthier and shinier effect. After washing, do not rub the skin with the towel; instead, dab them gently with a microfiber cloth. Also avoid using the hair dryer for too long, or getting it too close to the scalp.

Even hair spray, foams and fixatives can often excessively dry the hair. The advice is to limit its use, then wash and treat the hair with hydrating hair products: the ideal solution if you want to get a perfect result!

Another option to consider is to cut the tips, in order to obtain more beautiful hair. Cutting them regularly not only allows you not to have split ends, but you will give them the opportunity to grow better and stronger. Tie them up overnight with a light tail or braid, so you won’t have to worry about knots on waking up.

Untangle hair knots

The number one rule for untangling knots is to brush them regularly, from the root to the ends. Use a wooden comb, or a special anti-knot hair brush, and leave them free of pliers, elastic bands and pins. This good habit will also bring you another advantage: it will help you eliminate impurities. If your hair are severely knotted – due to an elaborate hairstyle, for example – prepare a detangling product and a suitable comb to untie the knots. Start with your fingers and then brush gently, without rushing. Do not forget to take care of your hair by reserving them the attention they deserve, in order to solve the problem of knots. By following these simple steps – from washing to styling – you can show off hair that is not only beautiful, but also healthy.

The Shanghai Junior Project

Lucia Ferrelli — Sun, 17 Feb 2019 09:01:22 +0000

An unreleased creative project comes to life in Shanghai thanks to a training program dedicated to ContestaRockHair team. Focused on the world of fashion and photography, the course has been coordinated by Emanuele Santopaolo, art director of ContestaRockHair Shanghai.

The protagonists of the project are six young hairstylists of the ContestaRockHair group: Fan, Amina, Frank, Summer, Martin, Marco.

ContestaRockHair has always involved the juniors in a continuous and rather distinctive training process through experiences both inside and outside the show. The goal is to transfer to the team not only technical and professional skills, but also administrative and managerial skills. Right here The Shanghai Junior Project develops: a work-based approach to stimulate the young minds of the brand and, at the same time, being an example for all the Contesta staff worldwide. A great little experiment that saw the protagonists of the project, from the initial drafting of the concept to the production of the materials for the realization of the shots, from the make up to the styling, up to the realization of a professional photo shooting. To support the younger throughout their path: their mentor – as well as art director – Emanuele Santopalo – make-up artists, photographers and clients, who lent themselves to the project and have actively contributed.

Emanuele Santopaolo – art director ContestaRockHair Shanghai

“I have lived in different places and I want to continue traveling, growing and experimenting with new things. In ContestaRockHair we believe that, once the cutting technique has been learned, the improvement is based more on the exploration of the world and on contact with what happens on the streets, in art galleries or on the catwalks; that’s how you can put something personal in what you do. “

Make-up artists and the photographer Nicholas May:

The course has been divided into three meetings. The students were focused on observing and exploring everything that fashion and urban style have proposed over recent years: hairstyle, materials, accessories, colors and trends. The target has been to look for the style and materials to recreate, rework and use during the final shots, through the help of fashion and industry magazines, catwalk, exhibitions, cinema, books, street style and any other form possible inspiration. Discover and select the most innovative trends that the fashion world has produced in recent years, not only in the hairstyling industry, but also in photography, fashion and art. Not just hair, not just technique, cutting and coloring, but also art, photography, cultural exchange, music and social commitment. The final stage of the course saw the juniors in action for the realization of the shots. A low-budget project that saw the guys create the set with their own hands, containing cost and striving to create the final shoot.

An initiative born from the bottom, therefore, that has managed to balance the relationship between theory and practice: a result that has exceeded expectations and now is finally online:
