What styles can I do with shoulder length curly hair?

I have shoulder length, extremely curly, thick hair, and all I ever do to it is put it up in a pony tail! Can anyone give me any suggestions as to what else I can do with it?What styles can I do with shoulder length curly hair?
Hairstyles:

- Half up with a clip or hair tie. I also like putting half up in a bun with bobby pins. (They tend to not get caught on my hair.) I also love these:

- Side parted hair with the front section clipped to the side. I like to use little jaw clips, but bobby pins will work if your hair isn't too thick.

- Flipped through pony tail. Put your hair in a loose pony tail. Reach up under the pony tail and separate the hair there into two sections. Use your other hand to twist the tail and then pull it through from the bottom.

- French ponytail. Put the top section of your hair (above ears) into a ponytail. Next, put the middle into a pony. Then put the bottom into a pony. This looks less kiddy if you do it looser with pretty clips.

- Braids and buns are simple and can disguise bad hair days. If your hair is too short for a single braid, try pigtails. http://www.wikihow.com/Braid-Hair

-French braid headband. This works for leaving the hair down or up and is quicker than a real one. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-French-Bra



Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:

*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.

*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying.

*Once completely dry scrunch out any crunchy texture.



For hair type specific products check out these forums:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. I would recommend something, but I don鈥檛 know your hair type. :)



Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

It's important to see someone who really knows how to work with curly hair. Most stylists don't get any training with curly hair in beauty school.
try shaggy, wavy effect :



This one is easy to do. Shampoo and condition your hair. Towel dry. Apply a mousse or other styling product lightly to your damp hair to give it some texture.. While your hair is still damp, bend your head over so you're drying your hair upside down. Dry your hair with the blow dryer while using your hands to scrunch it. Once your hair is dry, throw your head back and immediately spray with silvikrin Flexible Hairspray .
