How Add Curls Works
Add Curls uses professional heat tools to shape hair into curls or waves that add texture, movement and volume. Your stylist sections the hair and sets each section to the chosen shape, then finishes the style so curls sit together in a coordinated pattern that complements a prior blowout or a fresh haircut.
This service is a focused styling step that takes 10 MINUTES when booked as an add-on. Stylists tailor the size and direction of each curl to your haircut, face shape and desired finish, aiming for bouncy, long-lasting results that pair well with both romantic and glamorous looks.
Choosing Curl Size And Shape
Curl size and shape determine whether the result reads soft and tousled or structured and formal. Shorter hair, long layers and heavy textures change how a curl forms, so your stylist will pick a pattern that suits your length and the look you want — beachy waves for movement or tighter curls for more definition.
Expect trade-offs: fuller, structured curls create volume but can need more styling attention; looser waves look effortless but may loosen faster in humid conditions. Westlake’s four-season climate — humid summers and cold winters — affects how hair holds a style, so we adjust techniques and finishing to compensate.
Preparing And Aftercare Advice
If you’re adding curls to a blowout, the stylist can perform the 10 MINUTES of curling as the final step; if you arrive for a cut and style, plan for the stylist to include washing and a full blowdry beforehand. Reviews note that our team is thorough with washing and blowouts, which improves how curls set.
To keep curls looking their best, allow them to cool before touching, and use a light hold finish suggested by your stylist. In humid weather, refreshing techniques and a small amount of product between appointments will help. Our stylists will show you quick ways to revive curls during a busy Westlake day.
