Don’t forget to always carry a small bottle of hair product with you.
4. The Art Of The Curl Twirl. Here’s a little-known flirting tip, which works especially well for curlies. Whether short or long, use your hair to your advantage. Simply twirl a strand of hair while making direct eye contact with your target. This is a great flirting tactic for getting noticed.
5. Get Physical. Despite occasionally touching your curls to flirt, you don’t want to touch your hair too frequently due to nerves, which could cause your curls to lose shape and frizz, not to mention could appear neurotic to your suitor. Body contact is also a great way to flirt. Once you’ve got his/her attention, if you like the person and think it’s mutual, go ahead and try to break the “touch barrier.” Touch his or her arm gently as you talk, perhaps a nonchalant brush of your hand on the leg. Women can get a way with a lot more in this realm than men, so go for it!
6. Be Prepared. Always keep a curl rejuvenating spray in your purse. A lot of brands make small travel sizes just for this purpose. You never know when frizz will strike, and frizz on a first date, or any date for that matter, is far from ideal. Simply excuse yourself and do a bathroom mirror check. If you have frizz, spritz the area, scrunch and you’re good to go. If it’s beyond that and you’re dealing with the aftermath of major humidity, more drastic curl control measures may be in order. Make sure you have an elastic hair tie with you so you can put your hair up in a bun or ponytail to keep it from getting too big and out-of-control.
7. The Morning After. If you sleep over, you’re probably more focused on things other than your hair. The last thing you want to do is bust out your hair beauty routine checklist and ruin the mood early in the relationship. Guys love confidence in a woman, so relax. After all, the beauty of curls is that they often look better the next day and you might even work that “just rolled out of bed” mascara-smeared, vixen magic on your man. However, if you have somewhere to be the next morning, or have especially tricky curls, try sleeping with a high ponytail so you wake up with some extra oomph in your curl. Or, if you’re really sly, wait until he falls off to sleep and wrap your hair in a silk scarf before bed, then stealthily remove the wrap before he awakens. Trust me on this one. When you wake up in the morning for the first time with your new beau and your hair looks perfectly kempt and frizz-free, you’ll thank me.
