Heat-Less Styling Techniques

If you want to maintain kinky curly hair texture and natural appearance, then heatless techniques are an excellent way. The best ones are as follows:

Twist-Out

Twist-out is a typical style that enhances the natural curl pattern of Kinky Curly Hair and helps protect them from heat damage.

Damping: Start by damping your hair by spraying water with leave-in conditioner. Divide the hair into small sections. The smaller the hair sections, the tighter the curls.

Twisting: Now divide each section into two strands. Twist them around each other along the whole length, repeating the process for all the sections. Allow them to set and dry.

Unraveling: When hair is dried, gently unravel the twists and fluff your hair with your fingers to add volume.

Bantu Knots

Bantu knots are a traditional style for defining kinky curly bundles. It is characterized by tiny coiled buns, which are secured into knots. This style offers versatility, a chic look, and protective qualities. Let me know how to do it:

Damping: Damp your hair a little with water.

Sectioning: Divide the hair into small sections. It’s better to use a rattail comb for sectioning.

Styling Products Application: Apply a styling cream or gel evenly to each section. This cream will help the hair retain moisture and keep knots in place.

Twisting: Twist the hair section tightly one by one. Then, please make a small bun by coiling the twisted section on itself and securing it with a hairpin.

Setting: Give time for buns to be settled and thoroughly dried. Opt for air drying, or you can leave the knots overnight.

Unraveling: Gently unravel the buns with oil on your fingertips to overcome frizziness. Fluff the hair and style accordingly.

Flexi Rods

Flexi rods are small cylinder-like devices made of rubber. They vary in size and allow you to have different curl patterns. They are easy and comfortable to use.

The procedure is given below: 

Hair Preparation:

• Wash and condition your hair correctly.
• Use a leave-in conditioner to keep hair moisturized.
• Apply lightweight gel to provide hold.

Sectioning and Wrapping:

• Divide your hair into small sections.
• Wrap these hair sections over the flexi rod tightly.
• Secure them properly.

Setting and Unravelling:

Give your hair ample time to dry. Now, gently unravel the hair sections. Separate them with your fingers. Style them according to your choice.

These techniques are the best for kinky curly extensions offered by Private Label Extensions. For a cost-friendly approach, these hair extensions are available in bundle deals.

Heat Techniques

Sometimes, heat techniques are needed for flawlessness. But by taking certain precautions into account, one can go for a heating style while keeping hair healthy. The standard heat styling techniques are as follows: 

Diffusing

Diffusing is the best way to maintain their natural pattern while drying the curly hair. This process makes use of a diffuser. A diffuser is a tool attached to a hair dryer to provide airflow to a larger area.

It doesn’t damage the curl pattern. The stepwise procedure follows as below:

Styling Products: Your journey to perfect curls begins with applying styling products and a crucial heat protectant to damp hair. This prevents any potential heat damage.

Sectioning and Setting: Section the hair into parts.

Attach the diffuser with a hair dryer. Set the hair dryer on a low or medium heat setting.

Procedure: Start by placing the tips of the hair section in the diffuser and slowly moving upward towards the roots. Repeat the process until all hair is dried.

Cold Blast: After drying, set the dryer to a relaxed setting, giving the hair a tremendous blast. This aids in setting the curls and overcoming frizz. Now, you can go for your desired styling.

Blow Drying with a Comb Attachment

• Blow drying usually disturbs the natural curl pattern of curly kinky bundles.
• However, this can be overcome by attaching a comb to a blow dryer. This helps lift the curls, smoothen the hair, and add hair volume.
• Begin the process by applying a heat protectant to the hair.
• Secure the wide-tooth comb to your hair and set the dryer on medium heat.
• Start combing gently through hair from tips towards roots.
• Continue the process until the hair is dried and stretched to the desired length.

Curling Iron or Wand

Both tools help enhance curls and volume of hair but have specific differences.

• A curling iron has a clamp for holding hair, while a wand does not.
• The iron provides versatility for different waves and curl types, whereas the wand is easy to use. 
• Prepare your hair by thoroughly cleaning it and applying a heat protectant to prevent damage.
• Divide it into manageable sections. If you’re using a curling iron, clamp the hair near the ends, roll the iron towards the roots, and hold for a few seconds before releasing.
• Gently release the clamp and let the curl fall, allowing it to cool. 
• While using the wand, wrap the hair around it, going from roots to tips.
• Hold the hair for some time.
• Release the hair and let it cool.
• Finally, style your hair according to your preference. 

Creating a Ponytail Out of Kinky Curly Bundles

For adding volume, length, and texture to natural hair, kinky curly bundles help by providing the option of creating a ponytail.

This style has excellent versatility, like a high puff ponytail, a low sleek ponytail, and a side pony.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on creating a stunning ponytail using kinky curly bundles.

The required materials are Kinky Hair bundles (2-3 depending on length), hair ties, bobby pins, comb, hair gel, water, and leave-in conditioner.
