How to Scrunch Hair

Things You Require

• Shampoo
• Conditioner
• Hair gel
• Styling foam

Instructions

• Start by washing your hair with your favorite shampoo and then apply a conditioner.
• Run your fingers through your hair. If your hair is entangled, use a wide toothed comb to get rid of tangles and rinse your hair properly.
• Now you need to dry your hair slightly. First squeeze excess water out of your hair. Your hair must neither be allowed to dry completely, nor should they be dripping wet.
• It would be better if you refrain from using a towel to dry your hair, but if you are keen on using a towel, just blot the strands very lightly with a towel in order to retain your natural waves.
• Now it's time to apply some hair products. To get amazing curls, you could apply a curl enhancing product. For those who have heavy hair, using a gel would be a better idea. If your hair is fine, you could use a styling foam.
• If you are applying a mousse, you could use a vented brush. Put mousse on the vented brush and then brush it through your hair. This will facilitate the even distribution of the mousse.
• While applying any of the styling gels, make sure that you don't apply too much gel near the roots. Apply a little only when you want curls near the roots also.
• You can also apply an anti-frizz serum or hair spray.
• Now that you have applied these hair products, grab portions of your hair, as you squeeze them, push the strands up towards your head. Make sure you crumple all sections one by one.
• Every time you grab a portion of your hair to scrunch them, put a little gel on your fingers. When you scrunch your hair with gel, it will really enhance the waves and texture of your hair.
• Though you could use a blow dryer but it would be better to allow the hair to air dry.
• Once your hair is dry, you must not touch them or brush them. Let the style set in, combing will destroy the curls and make your hair frizzy.
• You could style your tresses into large bouncy waves or small curls. It all depends on the way you scrunch hair. If you grab bigger chunks of hair, you will get wavy tresses, whereas, scrunching small portions of hair will give you gorgeous, well-defined curls.
• If you wish to scrunch your hair overnight, you just need to shampoo your hair before you sleep. Follow these tips and before you sleep, tie a clip or wrap a silk scarf around your hair to maintain your scrunched look.
• If you have straight or fine hair, you could also get the wavy look, by braiding your wet hair at night. Untie the braid in the morning and check out your beautiful and bouncy wavy hair.
