If you are wondering how to get Shakira curly hair then keep reading this oneHOWTO article.
Length
Shakira’s hair is usually long. Her beautiful, long, lustrous curls are to be envied for. If you have long hair then your first step is already complete. But if your hair is short then you can grow it out so that it reaches the same length as Shakira’s.
To grow your hair, follow the tips given below:
- Hot oil massage once every week is a method most women swear by for having long hair. You can mix oils according to your choice and need. Then heat it in a bowl till it’s lukewarm. Apply this oil on the roots and massage the head. Cover it with a steaming towel so that the oil is absorbed by the scalp. Then wash off the oil to get long lustrous hair. It's important to choose oils rich in nutrients like coconut, olive, or argan oil for optimum results.
- Hair supplements work too. Consuming hair supplements regularly supports beautiful strong hair. However, the side effect of supplements is that hairs in other parts of your body will also grow at the same accelerated rate. Consulting a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen is advisable.
- Regularly trimming your hair will aid in fast growth. It will help in snipping off the dry or split ends, encouraging healthier hair to grow faster. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks to maintain the shape and health of your hair.
Highlight
What is so special about Shakira’s hair? The answer is beautiful honey-blonde hair with the oh-so-sexy sun-kissed highlights. To get the beautiful honey blonde color, you can either bleach your hair or have it colored in a reputable salon. Make sure that the shade of blonde looks natural to your skin tone just like Shakira’s. Shakira is actually a brunette, but looking at her beautiful blonde hair, no one can point out that it’s not her natural hair color. So, ensure that you get a color that looks natural for your hair.
After getting the desired color, go for some highlights and lowlights to add depth and dimension to your hair. Balayage or ombre techniques can be used to achieve a more natural and sun-kissed effect, similar to Shakira's signature look.
Shakira’s Curly Hair
Now that you have the desired length and hair color, it’s time for the beautiful curls. Shakira’s hair is naturally curly and has a beach wavy look to it. So, blessed are those souls who have curly hair with a natural beach wave look. But if you have straight hair, try one of the following methods to get Shakira-esque hair.
1. Using hair rollers
Wash and detangle your hair. Apply some mousse or styling gel if your hair does not hold curls for long. Take a section of hair and wrap it around a foam hair roller. Place the hair ends under the roller and then gradually roll towards the scalp. Secure the hair roller. Then move on to another section and repeat the same process. Repeat it till all the hair is secured in the hair roller.
Wait for some time so that your hair dries out completely. Then take out the rollers. Move your fingers in between the curls to loosen them and achieve the beach wavy curly look of Shakira’s hair. Spray some hairspray over your beautiful curls, but don’t overdo it as too much product can weigh down the curls.
2. Braiding and buns
Another natural way to get the beautiful curls is the braid and bun method.
For this method, wash your hair with shampoo and then condition it. Detangle it while it is damp using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Apply some mousse all over the strands. You can use special products for this purpose such as curling mousse. Then take a section of your hair and braid it. You can make two braids or four braids.
Now take each braid and twist them into the form of a bun. Let the hair dry completely. You can also do this at night and leave it overnight. In the morning, open the buns. Then undo the braids. Comb your hair with your fingers to get beautiful curly hair just like Shakira. This method enhances natural texture and creates long-lasting curls without heat damage.
