How to Prepare Your Naturally Curly Hair for Styling

Curly hair is stunning, but knowing how to prep it for styling can be a bit tricky. Whether you’re aiming for big, bouncy curls or a defined, natural look, the right prep can make all the difference. Here’s a quick guide to getting your curly hair ready for styling prior to your boudoir sesion, leaving you with a gorgeous, picture-perfect result.

Clean & Dry Hair is Key First things first: arrive with clean, dry hair. Clean hair helps products work better and ensures that your style will hold it’s shape throughout the day. Too much oil or product in your hair can cause it to be resistant to styling and have a generally weighed down appearance.
Use a Little Curl Cream for Naturally Curly Styles If you’re going for a more natural curly style, don’t be afraid to use a bit of curl cream. This will help define your curls and keep frizz at bay without weighing them down. Just be sure to use a light hand so your curls stay bouncy and fresh and will still be receptive to heat styling.
Straighten or Blow Out for Loose, Bouncy Curls If you’re dreaming of big, loose curls, consider straightening or blowing out your hair first. This can give your hair a smooth, polished base, making it easier to create voluminous curls that last. You’ll have that flawless, smooth texture that lets curls pop beautifully.
Bring Photos for Inspiration Whether you’re aiming for tight ringlets or soft waves, it’s always helpful to have a visual reference. Get inspired by scrolling through Pinterest for curly styles you love, and bring a couple of photos with you for inspiration. This ensures you get the exact look you’re going for, making the styling process easier and more fun.

With these simple tips, prepping your curly hair for styling becomes an easy and enjoyable part of the process. Embrace those curls, add a little product where needed, and let your stylist work their magic!

When it comes to preparing for your boudoir session, every detail counts in making your photos truly special. One unexpected but incredibly meaningful prop to consider is your partner’s favorite button down, t-shirt, or jersey. It might seem like a small touch, but here’s why it can add a whole lot of magic to your shoot:

3. Unique and Memorable

Let’s face it—boudoir sessions are all about making a statement and celebrating your unique style. Your partner’s shirt is a distinctive prop that adds a special, memorable element to your shoot. It’s not something you see in every boudoir photo, making it a standout feature that will give your images a personal and unforgettable touch.

4. Adds a Sentimental Element

Beyond the aesthetic appeal, using your partner’s shirt brings a sentimental element to your boudoir session. It’s a tangible piece of your shared life and experiences, adding a layer of depth and emotion to your photos.
