Wavy hairstyles tips for men

I can say from experience that wavy hair can be just as much a blessing as it can be a nightmare. If your like me and your hair ranges from wavy to curly frizzy especially on those hot and humid days, you know how much of a pain it can be. The trick is not to fight with wavy hair, and not to tease it because you'll swear it gets mad at you! Instead try working with what you have and take the time to know how to treat your tresses. Be sure to go for hairstyles that emphasize your features

1. COLD WATER- Believe it or not, when you have wavy or curly hair the best thing to do is wash it with cold water, it revives your hair.

#2. SEA SALT- Want to look like you just came from the beach? Try adding 1 tbsp of sea salt to one of those spray bottles, it'll give you a look like no other, your hair will look beautiful and natural.

#3. MOUSSE IT UP- After you've washed your hair, put some mousse on your towel and rub it into your hair, this will make your waves flow beautifully! I had a hairdresser do this to my hair a few times and I now repeat it after every wash and I find my hair has went from frizzy to healthy looking.

#4. GIVE THE BRUSH THE OLYMPIC TOSS- Use your fingers to style this prevents breakage and wavy hair is more susceptible to doing what you want. Use some styling wax as this will help to prevent frizz and help to define waves and curls.

#5. BLOW DRYING- If you happen to blow dry your hair be sure to use a diffuser! Blow dry your hair upside down. If you can, try allowing your hair to dry naturally.

#6. LOWLIGHTS/HIGHLIGHTS- When you have wavy or curly hair, having lowlights or highlights can make a real difference because they emphasize waves more. Do keep in mind that layered cuts add definition to your style.

#7. DO YOUR HOMEWORK- Get hairstyling magazines, see your stylist, be sure to get a style that suits you. Everyone has a different facial structure and body type, what looks good on Angelina Jolie may not look good on you. Try to incorporate styles and make your own style. Keep in mind that the stylists are who make the stars look beautiful so don't be afraid to try something new, you may very well come out with a new style that everyone else will want!

Keep in mind that when you have wavy hair, that most people would kill for it! Yes it can get frizzy and even sometimes annoying but if you really keep these tips in mind, your sure to be happy with the tresses you were born with. ;)
