Crimping


I am so excited that hair crimping is back! When I was about 9 years old, I had a crimping iron. I threw it away though once I got older, never thinking that I would be able to use it again. Crimping is huge on the fashion catwalks this season.

Crimping actually looks like a weave to me, so black ladies would pull this off easy.

If you don't have the guts to crimp your whole head, crimp sections and leave the rest straight.
You can even pull your fingers through your hair after crimping big sections to create a loose wavy effect that's more friendly if you're not as daring.

A crimping iron is key to create this effect, but if you don't have one, don't go running to the stores to buy one. Crimping will, like most hairstyles, disappear. Just make a few plaits in your hair and run your straightener over it, once hot leave it for a while to cool down and take the plaits out, you will have a crimping effect, but with a bit more wave.

Crimp away!
