Long and loose curls with separation and definition are the look of the season as we see here in the picture of Mariah Carey. She has nice thick naturally curly hair that needs to be relaxed before it can be styled into this soft look. A flat iron could be used to straighten the locks and add shine followed by the use of a large barrel curling iron to get the big loose look. One would need to be extra careful with the use of all the heat as it has the potential to be very damaging if not used carefully. There are products on the market and are designed to help protect the strands in these cases.

Here is a great style for naturally curly hair. It is simple and perfect for many occasions such as a special outing, a date, or even a rodeo. Curl enhancing hair products will help the locks to do their thing even better if your strands have any natural bend to them. Using a diffuser on your blow-dryer and scrunching as you dry, will help retain that natural look. Also, to get more of a spiral look, try twisting the hair after the product is applied. This method will help keep the curls from getting wide. If needed, a curling iron can be used on dry hair to touch up. This natural beauty has pulled back her bangs and secured them to allow for unobscured vision on the chance that a possible hottie may happen by.
