Curly Hair Cuts Long

Curly hair cuts long can create an incredible look of mystery and allure. If your hair is naturally curly, go for it.

Non curlies can get the look as well - but there are hazards to avoid.

First for the natural curly heads.

Different long curly hair cuts will produce a range of effects. If your hair is naturally curly and you maintain its overall length, without layers, you'll produce a style that ultimately pulls closer to your face and neck rather than puffing out.

As hair grows longer it becomes heavier, and the effect of gravity comes into play with your hair style. The movement is downward rather than outwards.

But you can also have long curly hairstyless that create volume and shape around your face. By choosing a cut that has layers, you create different zones.

Where your hair is shortest, the curls develop without being pulled down by their own weight. Middle layers have enough weight to create some downward movement, and this is accelerated in the longest layers where gravity is most at work.

Both effects, layered and not, are more beautiful if your curly hair is in good condition.

If your hair has been damaged by heat and chemicals, and particularly if you have fine hair that's been damaged, the look of your long curly hairdos will be less dramatic - more wispy, flyaway, frizzy, and your curls will look dull.

If that sounds like your hair, it's not a reason to abandon curly hair cuts long. Rather, it's a signal that your hair needs some care and understanding. If you haven't read Lorraine Massey's book yet, now would be a good time to do it.

Restoring your hair to good health doesn't take forever. In a matter of weeks you'll be rewarded with a level of glamour and gorgeousness that will have you, and everyone else, spellbound. Curly hair cuts long will take on a whole new meaning.

You can surround and frame your face with long, lustrous waves or exotic curls, and shape your features to create almost any sort of look - romantic, tousled, glamorous, confident, commanding, coy. All you need is a good hair cut, natural curls and a bit of imagination.

Now - for all those straight-haired women who envy the look of long curly hair styles ...

If your hair isn't naturally curly and you want to achieve the effect long of a curly hairstyle, please be careful. Go easy on the heat, hair products and treatments.

Commercial hair products and accessories hold similar dangers for both straight and curly hair. If you don't understand what a hair product contains, can you risk using it?

Do you need all that stuff?

Girls used to add waves and curls to their hair by tying in pieces of cloth and leaving them overnight. They didn't use hair products because hair products hadn't been invented.

If that sounds tedious and you want the sort of curly hair cuts long you see on models and celebrities, there IS another way. Think about hair extensions. That's what THEY do.

The hair you see on celebrities isn't always their own hair.
