separate your hair into sections after you have put your product of choice in I use organic leave in conditioner (tiny bit) and organic mousse then in sections (I do 10 sections) 2 in the front then 2 on each side and 4 in the back. Wrap the hair around your finger like a curling iron and hold for 10 seconds. let go and repeat. don't mess with it later. You can finish with some hairspray but not much I use organic as well. Also don't rub your hair with the towel just blot. Don't put it up in the turban thing either makes it REALLY super frizzy. And don't listen to the girl who said straighten it be yourself don't try to be like everyone else.What are some hair tips for natural curly hair?
I also have naturally curly hair that is frizz prone. For starters you should not use shampoo every day. More like every other day because the shampoo strips the hair of it's natural oil. As far as ringlets go, when you get out of the shower and your hair is still wet, work a leave in hair serum type thing through your hair. Brush your hair, and divide it into sections. (the size of the sections vary according to how big you want the ringlets to be but for the most part they should be pretty small.) With your fingers, individually twist a section of hair. (make sure you twist counter clock wise) Then, once you have twisted all your hair sections let your hair air dry. Sorry, my explanation was kind of hard to understand but if you execute it right your hair will turn out amazing!
The best thing you can do is get the book ';Curly Girl'; by Lorraine Massey, and follow her program. You can find the book on Amazon, or try your local library. (I found it at the library first, and loved it so much that I bought my own copy.)
She has a lot of great tips that sound crazy at first reading, like washing your hair with conditioner instead of shampoo. Give her program a good, honest try (about 3-4 weeks) and you will be rewarded with the most amazing head of curls.
You don't need to buy expensive products. Just follow Massey's guidelines and you'll be good.
This book is the only thing that got my head of crazy wild-girl curls under control.

okay i have really curly hair too.
i use got2be mousse( orange bottle) on my towel dried hair right after the shower. and i scrunch it through,
then i put a little bit of gel just on the ends ( this makes it alot less frizzy any kind will do
then put through sunsilck conditioner ( not the kind for the shower but you can get little bottles.. its the green one) and scrunch that through.
its my routine everyday and it works for me. though i probably don't have quiet as curly hair as you do. mines extremely frizzy and this leaves my hair rele nice!
i have wavy hair and it gets super dry on the ends so i go to the drug store and if ur hair is really damaged then i look for a damage treatment conditioner and let it soak, then i out frizz cream in it when it is damp. i use the silk treatment it works amazingly! u can get the silk treatment at the hair salon! u can even ask ur salon for advice they will have good tips and products for u!
Keep your hair hydrated 24/7. If you do oil baths every month and your hair is still dry then do it every week. When curly hair goes dehydrated for even a day it will be the worst of bad hair days. Ask me, I'm fully experienced.
Yes, I know exactly what its called. :)
It's a spray called Pantene Curl Defying Spray Gel, Its really hard to find but its worth it.
:)
dont dry it with a towel, that ads to the frizz, use a shirt or something or go out and buy fabric.
Do not wash your hair daily, this might sound gross but the natural oils are good for your hair.
mix a little leave-in conditioner in with gel, works wonders!
straighten it:]]
