Trend spotting – short, curly hair for summer 2019

As the months get hotter, hair seems to be getting shorter. What distinguishes the emerging style for Summer 2019, however, is that the ladies seem to be crazy about curls.

Curls add volume and dimension to what has become an otherwise boring style and the look lends an air of sophistication to any look.

Just take a look at how some of our favourite celebs have interpreted the look.

Azania is perhaps one of the celebs who rocked this style first but unlike the wigs and weaves shown above, she used braids to achieve her look at Miss Salon London and even shared a step-by-step guide about how to achieve the look on her Instagram page.

“Ever since I started braiding my hair this way, I’ve had to answer endless questions about which hairpiece this is and how it’s done. And I’ve answered countless times that it is Expressions hairpiece. Some people have tried this hairstyle with varying disappointing results. Over the years I’ve taken pics of different stages of doing this hairstyle and will attempt to explain below,” wrote Mosaka.

1 – First rule is to nourish and show love to your hair. ALWAYS!
2 – Then braid your hair halfway or just past the length of your hair.

3 – Curl the braids with perm rollers as far down as you can. This is where most attempts go wrong. And where the pain potentially comes in. Dip the curled hair in boiled water one roller at a time. Be careful. Sit under the dryer for about 15 – 20 mins.

4 – Take our the rollers and trip if you need to. Voíla! I hope to never answer this question again. Enjoy!
