Get Lovely Loose Curls Like Shalom Harlow

The Curly Cut: This haircut has a lot of layers to get the perimetrical effect

Who It Works Best For: Women who have very loose curls. (This beautiful, natural look does not work on all curl types! Do not try this cut on tight curls.)

How to Get the Look: Prepare hair with Protein Boost. Part your hair into five sections. Mix Curlisto Structura Lotion with Bio Gel Mousse. Apply mixture to each section, starting at the nape of the neck. Once you finish all sections, dry your hair. Use a fingertip amount of finishing pomade to smooth hair. Finish with a touch of Structura Spray for hold, as well as some Glow and Shine.


Get Beautiful Kinks Like Myriam Fares

This style will take about 30 minutes to achieve and the results are well worth the effort! Like Myriam, you will have beautiful curls that are balanced, tamed and controlled.

The Curly Cut: Lots of cascading layers

Who It Works Best For: Anyone who has loose to medium curls.

How to Get the Look: Prepare wet hair with Repair Styling Cream. Part your hair into 5 sections. Mix a quarter-size amount of Curlisto Structura Lotion and a dime-size of Control I Gel. Add mixture to each section, starting at the nape of the neck. Once you finish all sections, diffuse hair until it is dry. Lightly mist Curl Reform on top layer before running a 1½-inch curling over that layer to define the style. Finish with Glow and Shine.



Get Sexy Curls Like “Flipping Out’s” Jenni Pulos

The Curly Cut: Classic Long Layers

Who it Works Best for: Almost every woman with fine curls

How to Get the Look: Start with wet hair and apply Curlisto Structura Lotion in sections before diffusing. Touch up the front parts with a curling iron, running your fingers through the finished curls to give it a more natural look. Finish with Curlisto Structura Spray.



Get Perfect Ringlets Like Mya

Mya

The Curly Cut: I have worked on Mya’s hair before, and she has a medium-tight curl. To get this look, your stylist has to cut a lot of long, diagonal, short layers into your hair.

Works Best For:

Women with triangular faces

How to Get the Look: This look is all about the twist, and takes some time to get it right. Start on wet hair and section hair, twisting it from the bottom sections at the nape of the neck to the top sections by the face. Use some Curlisto Control II Gel for hold. Spray Curlisto Curl Reform and diffuse. When hair is dry, use a small curling iron to define the curls that frame your face. Finish with Curlisto Glow & Shine.

This is a very tricky style, so make sure your stylist knows how to cut curly hair so that the diagonal layers don’t cause your curls to shrink up to much. When length is taken away from curly hair, the curl is no longer weighed down, and this can cause it to curl more than it has before.


Christo’s Celebrity Corner: Rihanna

Get Short and Sassy Style Like Rihanna

The Curly Cut: Angle bob that is short with a lot of layers in the back and long in the front so that it frames the face

Who it Works Best for: Make sure that you have the facial structure to carry off this bob cut so that you don’t become a fashion victim.

How to Get the Look: This look is all about the curling iron. Diffuse wet hair until it is almost dry and then use Curlisto Curl Reform for extra body and lift. Use a small 1″ curling iron to define curls and finish with Curlisto Glow & Shine.



Get Curls They’ll Talk about Like Howard Stern’s

Howard Stern

The Curly Cut: Long layers

Who it Works Best for:Wavy to medium curls

How to Get the Look: To keep the layers defined and under control, apply Curlisto Control II gel in sections. Let it air dry rather than diffusing it.


Get Sizzling Curls Like Thalia

The Curly Cut: Long layers

Who it Works Best for: Any type of curls

How to Get the Look: The messy updo can look very sexy when done right. To create this look, diffuse your waves or curls. Allow them to dry completely, and then put them up on your head in a half twist. Leave the ends out on the top of your head and allow some curls to spill out from the side. You may want to use some extra pins to arrange the curls.


Get Luscious Coils Like Monique Coleman
