Use headbands and clips to add definition to curly hair.
Natural curls can be a styling boon. Masses of curls can be left alone to express their full glory; riotous curls can prove even more appealing when banded or clipped. Use headbands and clips to add shape, definition, color and textural contrast to a head full of curls.
Wide Band
A wide headband placed 1 or 2 inches back from the hairline adds textural variation to a style, and keep curls off the face. Choose a band of linen or cotton, or go with luxurious fabrics such as silk, satin or velvet. Employ a cheerful print or striped pattern for casual, outdoorsy occasions, or subdued black or navy for dress-up affairs.
Band Over the Hair
The headband, wide or narrow, is typically slipped on over the top of the head. Place the top of the band 2 or more inches back from the hairline. If your curls are especially bouncy, secure the bottom of the band to the scalp with pins. Use narrow bands, bejeweled or lariat-style bands for this style.
Half Updo
A half updo secured with a plain or decorative clip can add control and a touch of sophistication to a headful of curls. Loosely pull back the hair that extends from just above one ear over the top of head to the other ear. Secure at the back of the head with a clip. Fluff the hair that extends from beneath the clip.
Clipped Ponytail
In lengthy curls, a ponytail secured with a wide clip or barrette can add sleek professionalism to your look. Add styling gel to curls to smooth frizz and flyaways, then loosely finger-comb your curls toward the nape of the neck. Secure with an elegant clip, leaving one or two loose tendrils behind each ear. Mist with light-hold spray.
