More information
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a gentle wash and condition, followed by careful detangling to protect your longer strands. Your stylist will:
- Apply heat protectant to shield your hair from damage
- Section your hair carefully (often four or more sections for thorough, even styling)
- Use a diffuser attachment on naturally curly or wavy hair to enhance your natural pattern, or round brushes to create soft curls and waves on straighter hair
- Refine individual sections with curling tools if needed for extra definition
- Finish with lightweight serums or curl-enhancing sprays for shine and hold
The result is smooth, frizz-controlled curls with lasting volume, typically holding beautifully for 1–3 days depending on your hair type and aftercare.
Who This Service Suits
This service is ideal if your hair is longer than shoulder length and you want professional styling that celebrates your length while adding shape and movement. Whether your hair is naturally curly, wavy, or straight, our stylists adapt techniques to suit your texture:
- Naturally curly or textured hair: diffusing and curl-enhancing products highlight your natural pattern with reduced frizz
- Fine, long hair: volumizing products and root-lifting techniques prevent your style from falling flat
- Thick or dense hair: careful sectioning and expert product distribution ensure consistent curls from root to tip
If you're researching alternatives, a curly blowdry is a temporary styling service (not a perm or chemical treatment) that lets you enjoy gorgeous curls without altering your hair's structure. Our curly hair specialist Syd Cromarty brings particular expertise to clients with naturally textured hair looking to enhance their curls.
Caring for Your Style
To help your curly blowdry last as long as possible:
- Avoid moisture – rain, humidity, and sweat can cause curls to drop or frizz
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction
- Loosely tie or braid your hair at night to preserve the shape
- Use gentle, sulfate-free products when you do wash
- Consider booking regular deep conditioning treatments to maintain hair health between heat-styling appointments
Your stylist will talk you through aftercare during your appointment and recommend products suited to your hair type. At The Vintage Avenue in Biggleswade, we're here to ensure you leave feeling beautiful and confident in your style.

I had an amazing experience with Syd last week. I’m a new client and we had a great conversation about my hair needs and wants, particularly as my hair has become wavy/curly over recent years and I wanted to know how to best take care of it at home. Syd gave amazing communication, explaining what she was doing cut wise to compliment the curls, and then showed me how to use styling products and a particular brush which I was able to purchase from them for a reasonable price. I’ve since given the tips a go at home and I’ve noticed the difference with my hair! The salon itself was lovely, well kept, and all the staff were very friendly. I went in to book my appointment rather than do it online and this was really quick and easy. Thank you for a great experience, look forward to coming back!
