Yara Shahidi, star of her own spinoff show Grownish, is a revolutionary Hollywood celebrity that we love, mainly for her advocacy for human rights and social issues, her charisma and no doubt her beauty and natural curly hair. She is unapologetically herself and we believe that we all should be, even when it comes to our hair!
Shahidi never shies away from styling her natural hair despite societal beauty standards in Hollywood and we truly admire her for that. She has beautiful, voluminous and defined curls of dreams and you can easily achieve her curly hair look too, using a variety of products from Curlshops.com
Hydrating your curls is so important for curl definition, which is why Curlshops.com recommends the Rizos Curl Hydrating Shampoo, it gently cleanses your hair and scalp without drying your tresses, with ingredients such as Shea Butter and Moringa Oil, which will keep your hair hydrated and scalp protected.
The next step to achieve Shahidi’s beautiful curls is conditioning, both normal and deep conditioning. Curlshop.com recommends the Holy Curls conditioner, which has an amazing slip that will help detangle even the driest of curls. It is made with Baobab Oil and Cupuaçu Butter, which protect the hair from any heat damage while moisturising and sealing them. Holy Curls is one of the Curlshop’s cruelty free, vegan and clean brands. The conditioner can be used to detangle your hair with Curlshop’s wide tooth comb to prevent breakage!
Deep conditioning is also an important part of styling your natural hair, whether it’s wavy, curly or coily like Shahidi’s hair. Curlshops.com suggests the Shaeri Prickly Pear Intense Mask for intense moisturisation and hydration. It’s the perfect weekly treat for your hair!
Shahidi wears her curly hair in many different styles and braids and we’re here to talk about natural styling! To achieve defined curls like Shahidi, we recommend the Rizos Curls Curl Defining Cream! It is so revolutionary and can be used on all hair types, it defines your curls with a crunch-less hold like no other! The Curl Defining Cream should be used with Curlshops’ Flexi Detangle Brush to create amazing curl clumps, without breakage and tension.
Curling creams help form the curls, but gel is what is going to keep the curls in their defined state. It’s recommended to use the Holy Curls Gel; it is perfect for all hair textures especially coily ones! To achieve great curls like Shahidi, add a small amount to your hair and rake the gel through and scrunch.
To create an even more voluminous look like Shahidi, it’s recommended to use the Hair Pick and lift the roots all around the crown, and lastly use the Flora and Curl African Citrus Superfruit Oil to tame some of the frizz. You can also use the remainder of the oil and massage in your scalp and roots to create ever more volume and separate any large curl clumps.
