Picture this: It's a lazy Sunday morning and you're getting ready for brunch with your mates. You hop out of the shower, give your hair a quick towel dry, and realise your 2C-3A waves are looking a bit... meh. Sound familiar? We've all been there!

At Charlie's Hair and Beauty, we know the struggle of trying to tame your natural texture without losing that effortless, just-woke-up-like-this vibe. In our 38 years of experience, we've picked up a few tricks of the trade that can help you transform your unstyled hair into a head-turning lewk. Let's dive in!

The Trend Explained

The distinction between unstyled and styled hair is a hot topic in the beauty world right now. Unstyled hair refers to your natural texture without any product or heat styling. For our 2C-3A girlies, this often means undefined waves, a bit of frizz, and a lack of shape.

On the flip side, styled hair is all about enhancing your natural texture with the right products and techniques. Think defined curls, bouncy volume, and a polished finish that still looks effortless. It's the perfect balance of "I woke up like this" and "I put in some effort, but you can't tell."

Why It's Popular

So why is everyone buzzing about the unstyled to styled trend? For starters, it's all about embracing your natural beauty. We love seeing people rock their natural texture with confidence!

Plus, styled hair is way more low-maintenance than it looks. With the right products and techniques, you can achieve a styled lewk that lasts for days. No more waking up with a bird's nest on your head!

How to Get the Look

Ready to transform your unstyled 2C-3A hair into a styled masterpiece? Here's how:

1. Start with freshly washed hair. We recommend using a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to avoid stripping your natural oils.

2. Apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair. Our customers rave about [Camille Rose Curl Love Moisture Milk Leave In Conditioner](/products/customers-rave-about-camille-rose-curl-love-moisture-milk-leave-in-conditioner) for adding moisture and definition.

3. Scrunch in a curl cream or gel. The BSSET Original Curl Cream is a customer favourite for defining waves and curls.

4. Air dry or diffuse on low heat. Avoid touching your hair while it dries to prevent frizz.

5. Once your hair is completely dry, scrunch out any crunchiness with a few drops of hair oil. We love Aunt Jackies Frizz Rebel – Coconut & Sweet Almond Oil for adding shine and softness.
