Embracing your natural hair texture is a beautiful thing, and something most of us have finally done because of months spent in lockdown. \u201cI think we\u2019ve had a breakthrough moment when it comes to loving our natural selves,\u201d says Brianna Cook, stylist and manager of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acquasalon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acqua Quebec Studio &amp; Retreat<\/a> in Guelph. \u201cI definitely attribute this shift to the lifestyle change we\u2019ve all experienced with more time at home, and not feeling the need to do our usual primping and letting hair dry naturally for a change. I love that we are seeing so much diversity in the world of beauty and that means lots of curl, wave and coil texture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cook says the best way to wear texture this fall is softly and naturally. She loves a curly fringe paired with a shag, a cut that will volumize your curls. \u201cI also love the way soft textured bangs look when hair is pulled up,\u201d Cook says. \u201cThey put an incredible emphasis on the eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to working with your curls, there are a few key styling tricks and tips to keep in mind. Here\u2019s three of the biggest according to Cook.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Use A Diffuser<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you are blow-drying your hair, this will control frizz and keep your curls intact. \u201cThe diffuser game changes depending on what you are looking to achieve,\u201d Cook explains. \u201cFor finer curls, you probably want to maximize volume, so use a higher heat and power setting to amp things up. Though you have dialed up your power levels, take things low and slow with the time it takes to dry your hair. Start at the roots to create lift and eliminate any fuzz factor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Air Dry FTW<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cAir drying is\u00a0always the best bet for less frizz and the most long-lasting natural curl, but not an easy option,\u201d Cook says. \u201cIf you have the time to do it, start by using a deep conditioner and rinsing with cool water to seal the cuticle. Gently remove excess water with a towel or t-shirt by squeezing hair from the bottom up\u2014never, ever rub hair as this will create frizz! Add your product in the following sequence: moisturizing leave-in treatment, curl enhancer, and then your hold product like mousse or gel. Let your hair dry naturally with as much of a hands-off approach as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find Your Best Products<\/strong><br \/>\nYou may have to experiment with a few products to find the perfect fit for you. \u201cBefore you shop, you need to fully realize what your actual hair texture is\u2014fine, thick, course, super curly,\u201d Cook says. \u201cFrom here you can determine what you need and make sure product is not too heavy for your hair, and won\u2019t weigh things down. Because curl products pack a lot of moisture, remember using less is more. Lastly, if you are using multiple products don\u2019t mix them together, but layer them so each product is able to do its job effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Curl Enhancers We
