... Read moreI've been absolutely loving protective styles lately, and Havana Curls have quickly become one of my all-time favorites! If you're like me and looking for a chic, low-maintenance look that still packs a punch, you've got to try these. I personally use the Angels Pony Curl Long in the beautiful 30/27 shade, and it gives me that perfect voluminous, natural-looking curl every single time. It's been a game-changer for my hair routine!
Getting started with Havana Curls is simpler than you might think. For this gorgeous twisted pony style, I usually begin by thoroughly washing and deep conditioning my natural hair. After drying, I apply a light leave-in conditioner and a bit of styling gel to ensure my hair is moisturized and prepped. Then, I section my hair into about 4-6 parts, depending on how many twists I want to incorporate. For the base of my pony, I gather the front section and smooth it back into a neat ponytail. This is where the magic of the Angels Pony Curl comes in.
To create the twists, I take small sections of my natural hair, apply a bit more gel, and then attach the Havana Curl extension hair at the root using the crochet method. I love doing two-strand twists or even flat twists that flow into the main Havana Curl. The key is to make sure your twists are neat and uniform for a polished look. Once my twists are done, I blend them seamlessly with the Angels Pony Curl. Sometimes, I'll even add a few extra pieces of the Angels Pony Curl Long to the base of my pony to achieve maximum volume and that iconic Havana Curl bounce. The 'long' aspect of these curls really helps create a dramatic yet effortless effect.
Maintenance is super easy with Havana Curls, which is another reason why I adore them! To keep them looking fresh, I sleep with a satin bonnet or pillowcase to prevent frizz and tangling. In the mornings, a light mist of water mixed with a leave-in conditioner helps refresh the curls. I try to avoid heavy products, as they can weigh down the curls and make them look greasy. For washing, I focus primarily on my scalp and use diluted shampoo, then follow up with a light conditioner. These curls are quite forgiving, and with proper care, they can last for weeks, giving you that 'lots of twists' look without constant styling.
Beyond the classic twisted pony, Havana Curls offer so much versatility! I love experimenting with them. You can gather them into a high bun for a sophisticated look, sweep them to the side for a playful vibe, or even do a half-up, half-down style, letting some of those beautiful Angels Pony Curl strands frame your face. The 30/27 color adds such a lovely dimension, making these styles pop. Whether you're going for an everyday casual look or something more glamorous, Havana Curls truly adapt. They are perfect for anyone wanting to explore different curly hairstyles with ease and confidence. Trust me, once you try them, you'll be hooked on the beauty and convenience of Havana Curls!
