Fierce Short Hair Styles for Sistas

Your Curly Que: Curls & Straw Sets

This is a great style for women with permed and natural hair. My sister, who was in the process of growing out her perm and had been at it for over a year, swore by straw sets and they looked gorgeous and bountiful on her head. For the short haired woman who’s strands are in that awkward between lengths stage or growing rapidly, the straw curls are a nice alternative that can be done at home, as opposed to leaving the salon broke. They can be done using straws or rods, setting lotion and a few hours of free time. In the end, with a hint of spray, you have some well-sheened straw curls that can last weeks. If you don’t want your curls so tight, you can opt for braiding or french rolling the back of your hair and piling soft curls on top. Soft rollers are great for this look.

*Need some drinking straws (or rods if you have them, since they do have their own closures), bobby pins, setting lotion and spray to give it body

*Fun way to play with your hairs texture without using chemicals

*Good for Winter and Summer, but you don’t have to worry about heat causing frizz during the Winter

*A nice break from combing and brushing out your hair and causing damage to it

*Last long with reasonable amount of maintenance
