How To Scrunch Your Hair

If your natural, wavy hair just does not curl enough to suit you, there is an easy way to enhance the curl. Try scrunching your hair. Follow these steps and you can scrunch your hair to get the most out of your curls.

Materials:
Gel or mousse
Clean head of hair
Hairspray (optional)

Tools:
Hair dryer with diffuser
Towel
Wide-tooth comb

1. Wash and condition hair. Try to rinse with cooler water to avoid drying out the hair.
2. Use towel to remove excess moisture. You don’t want to dry the hair, just stop it from dripping.
3. Comb hair. Use the wide-tooth comb to remove any tangles or knots while the hair is still wet.
4. Apply gel or mousse. Put a dollop of product into the palm of your hand, and then comb through your hair, starting at the ends.
5. Dry hair slowly with diffuser. Again starting at the ends, begin to dry the hair with the blow dryer and diffuser. As you work through the hair, take sections into the palm of your hand and squeeze to scrunch the hair. Continue to scrunch as the hair dries.
6. Turn your head upside down to dry underneath. This will add volume and speed the drying.
7. Style hair to your desire. Once the hair is dry, you will have scrunched waves and curls throughout your hair. Style your hair or leave lose, whatever you desire.

Scrunching your hair is an easy technique to enhance any natural curl or wave you already have. It won’t work on hair that is naturally straight. If you want to enhance the depth and volume of your curls, try this simple technique.
