you would have to straighten it and then work your way into making it wavy again. i have curly hair too and if i want waves thats what i do. normal straight hair and the big pin curls (about 7 all around) all night long and then in the morning let loose and put some GOOD hairspray. it is always good to have an expensive one that works 100x better than cheap drugstores onesHow can I make my thick, curly hair into nice soft beach waves?
