Curly Hair Tips?!?!?!?!?

just give me all u know bout tight, curly hair? and tips/products/brushing/anythign else? what are some ways to calm it down? hairstyles? ahhh.thans!=]Curly Hair Tips?!?!?!?!?
I hated my hair for my whole life until I -finally- learned how to take care of it a few years ago. There's lots of things you should know, but I'll just start with some basics:





First, washing. Curly hair is super fragile and the harsh sulfates in shampoo are too harsh to use on curly hair daily. (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, the main product in most shampoos, is the same thing used in dish detergent! Would you wash your hair with that?) Shampoo once a week, maximum. On the days you don't shampoo, use conditioner. For best results, add gel and other products to -dripping wet- hair.





Drying. Don't use a regular towel, the fibers promote frizz. Instead blot your hair dry with a t-shirt or a microfiber towel. If you blow dry, use a diffuser on a low heat setting. Blow dry until it's 50-75% dry. If you blow dry it totally dry, it'll frizz more.





Brushing. Don't. Ever. To detangle, use a wide tooth comb or your fingers, and only while your hair is wet. Never brush dry curly hair. This will cause nothing but frizz and deformed curls.





Products: avoid hair products with silicones. They may make your hair look temporarily shiner, but they build up, and dry up your hair from the inside. My favorites are the Herbal Essences Set Me Up and Curl Scrunching Gel, Moptop Light Hold Gel, Devacare Arc Angell, and Batia and Aleeza Bio-Herbal Sculpting Gel.





Taking these steps made my hair much healthier, shinier, and less of a poofball after just a few weeks.





Many curly haired girls stop shampooing altogether-- myself included. I stopped using sulfate shampoos and switched to cleansing conditioners (Devacurl No-Poo is my favorite). To stop using shampoos, however, you need to stop using -ALL- products that use non-water soluble silicones, because the silicone will not be washed out clean. Cleansing conditioners will get rid of everything else though-- dirt, extra oils, and water-soluble hair products. To find out more about this (and other curly stuff) check out the hair forums at http://www.naturallycurly.com --you're not alone!Curly Hair Tips?!?!?!?!?
my best friend has the same problem


to calm it, she uses:





mousse: dove, or herbal essence (the one that is especially made for curly hair.) both work great.


spray gel: herbal essence


wet hair, brush, then scrunch in mousse then spray gel it down from the roots, not so much the roots.





this is no miracle work. it definitly helps frizz and shape though. what really helps is getting used to it, because its not going to become perfectly curly or perfectly straight by anything. its an animal... but dont let the hair rule you!!!! :]]

Curly Hair Tips!!!?

I love my hair, it's very pretty, most people say. But it gets poofy %26amp; frizzy, and hard to manage at times. I use Sunsilk stuff, but I wonder what my hair would look like if I could do something different with it!! I'd really appreciate some help!! %26amp; I'm not sure that if I straightened my hair, it would even look good!!!!!!!!Curly Hair Tips!!!?
There is a stylist by the name of Lorraine Massey who decided to change around the way curly hair is treated.





For hair that is curly, frizz can be greatly reduced by giving up shampoo and products with silicones. Shampoo is very very rough on curls.





As weird as it sounds, my hair has been its best since giving up shampoos. I wash my hair and scalp with a cheap conditioner, and it's never been unsanitary. I use a better conditioner to take care of the dryness that can come with curly hair.





My curl definition has been much better, and I have nice corkscrew curls instead of fuzz.





While silicone products make hair nice looking in the short term, product buildup can cause damage to delicate curly hair in the long run because you need a strong detergent to remove the silicones. This damages the hair further.Curly Hair Tips!!!?
I have naturally curly hair although I wear it straight in the winter, to avoid from walking out with a wet head. I used pantene products from curling shampoo, intensive curling conditoner, mousse and srcunching gel. You should visit pantene's website they give great tips for curly hair. You should get you hair professionally blow -dried with a roller brush technique. also visit ouidad.com it is for curly hair also.
I have curly and pretty thick hair. What I do to it most of the time is straighten it with a flat iron. But not just any flat iron.....the Sedu!!! It's the best there is. It's a professional product (better than CHI, trust me on this one) and it's ceramic and has tourmaline.





You can get one of your own at ---%26gt; www.folica.com





Also, if for any reason you don't like it, you can return it in 30 days.





I have one of my own and I set the temperature to 410 degrees F and it has never damaged my hair. If anything, it feels healthier. Try it, I swear........you will thank me.








Also make sure to use some type of cream before you straighten.


I use: Rusk Str8 and it works very well.
Straigtening is good (get the ceramic kind). Try some styling gel after you wash your hair. It will keep the hair in place.
hey fellow curly haired person.. lol





i have really curly hair i use garnier fructis sleek and shine





it comes in a little sphere bottle and it squirts out... it helps keep your hair from frizzing and shines it a bit





you just squirt one time on to your palm and apply it when it is wet works nicely for me








btw i wash my hair in the morning and apply this when my hair it wet.. i brush my hair in the sower and just run through it with my fingers when i get out.. then leave it to air dry





last of all my hair looks really bad when straight.. curly hair tends to be a lot more thin and it looks like ';old people hair'; according to my nice little bro
if you love your curls then dont straighten them becuase then they wont be the same again thats what i did and know i have to straigten my hair pretty much everyday


when your hair is still wet after a shower scrunch it


put some MOOSE in it not hair spray cuase that makes it harder


dont over do it on the moose tho


and with out blowdrying just wait for your hair to dry


you could towel dry your hair after you get outa the shower if you have some where to go and want it to be a little more dry


GOOD LUCK :D

Curly hair tips?????

I have naturally wavy/curly hair. When I wash it and let it dry it dries little curls and waves on the front and some underneath of my hair and then the rest is kinda straight.. lol confusing. But, when I use frisky scrunching gel by t.i.g.i it gets really curly but are there any other ways I can use it? Like make waves and still let it look pretty? My hair is above but touching my shoulders. Please help!!! :)Curly hair tips?????
I have the same type of hair. It's long thick and curly underneath and straight on top. I use a light mouse when it's still wet, brush it through my hair, then lightly scrunch it while using a diffuser on the hair dryer.





I get really nice waves this way.Curly hair tips?????
hi =]


Your hair sounds exactly like mine ha ha


well first of all don't ever blow dry it unless you have a diffuser or else it'll go all afro on you lol. (but im sure you already know that)


using a good product should help but don't use too much. I honestly don't use any cause it does make my curls hard and crunchy ha ha.


what i always do is wash it in the morning, brush it out while its wet, then towel dry it until it stops dripping and then just use my hands to scrunch it up on the bottom and near the scalp. Then just leave it be and let it dry. Dont touch it alot after that cause it will start to frizz D:


that always works for me and i get alot of compliments on my hair!


hope i could help and good luck! =]

Curly hair tips!?

i have naturally curly hair, but i normally straighten it. i don't want to get up early to wear my hair curly. how can i keep it from getting frizzy and stay curly overnight?Curly hair tips!?
My hair is also naturally curly. What i do is i take a shower and kind of ruffle my hair so its really curly. Then i take Pantene Pro V curling gel and put some in my hand and scrunch it into my hair. Then do not move it. leave it down and let it dry and it should turn out without frizzy hair.


Good Luck!Curly hair tips!?
i have very curly hair...what i usually do is i take a shower and wash my hair the night before and then i put some fructis curl and shine stuff in it then i put in curling mousse (i use a certain kind so it doesnt get hard) then i put it in a bun on the very top of my head ((like pebbles)) and wake up the next day! if i was you i would try it on the weekend so if it doesnt turn out so great you dont have to go to school with a bad hair =[[





good luck!


%26lt;3 jess
wash your hair the night before leave some extra conditioner in it go to bed wake up the next day stick it under the sink (the conditioner will act as if you just washed it) and style it to your likeing its takes five mins to get it wet and brush it out if your jammed for time wake up earlier. this is wat i do!!!
when ever i do my hair curly it's because i don't have enough time in the morning to straighten it out.. have you tried defuseing it? that would help you out alot!!! put some gel in it and put the defuser on the end of your hair dryer and dry your hair upside down..


hope this helped... best of luck!

Curly hair tips?

I have very curly hair. It is the kind of curl that spirals, and when you pull it, it bounces back.





But, unlike other people with curly hair, mine is VERY thin. It frizzes very easily (I live in FL so that doesnt help.) It especially frizzes at my scalp.





I dont shampoo, unless my hair is REALLY dirty, but I do condition every time I'm in the shower and I do a deep conditioner 2x a week. But still my hair is dry, poofy, and frizzy.





What products do you recommend? Right now, I use Garnier Fruictise (sp?) curl shaping gel (one squirt in my palm for my whole head), TIGI Curl Booster spray, and Biosilk smoothing creme. My conditioner is TIGI Curls Rock shamp/cond.





What should I do to avoid frizz while styling?





Thanks!Curly hair tips?
hey!


I have the same situation as you. Instead of usig Garnier Fructis curl shaping gel try Garnier Fructis leave in conditioning cream. trust me it helps A LOT. It smoothes our hair and actually stops the frizz for a LONG time. After you style your hair, just put some of this on. hope I helped....... good luck :)Curly hair tips?
I have really curly hair too!! I hate the frizz that accompanies it, it's so annoying! I shampoo and condition my hair everyday with the Sunsilk Captivating Curls shampoo and conditioner, and when I get out of the shower, I'll use the leave-in de-frizz creme, also by Sunsilk Captivating Curls. From there, I use Dep Sport Gel, which says it's for men, but it works perfectly in my hair, and doesn't leave it crunchy. I hope this helped even a little bit. Oh!! And I also let my hair air dry, I don't towel dry or use a hair dryer, it tends to make my hair frizzier. Good luck!

???curly hair tips(:?

ok so let me tell you about my hair. it is about medium length(little past my shoulders), thick, and curly. whenever i wear it down it will look good when it's wet but then when it dries...it poofs up and looks like a triangle. so any help? tips? hair products? it always seems like i'm wearing my hair up all of the time and i wanna wear it down:). oh by the way i'm going to get my hair cut on tuesday so if there is any specific cut like layers or anything, tell me! my hair is red and i have side bangs too:D???curly hair tips(:?
sounds just like my hair!! i used to wear it up all the time because of the frizzziness of it,


but i got my hair v-shaped cut , and i got it thinned out A LOT which took, tons of the frizz away, for products i put any leave in conditioner, after gel/ mousse whatever you prefer, and finishing hairspray and my hair looks like if i just came out of the shower ';wet hair look';???curly hair tips(:?
I know how you feel! My hair was the same way so i used to straighten it alot then it got really damaged. So i went my my hairdresser and got it thinned out and gave me a haircut so it wasn't a triangle shape. Then she tought me how to scrunch it by putting moose in my hair when its wet. So you could try that





Hope this helps : )
You should probably thin out your hair so its not that poofy. I think that would really help.
Sounds exactly like my hair too! If it is cury, it most likely means that your hair is dry too. If you use the right kind of conditioners, specifically meant for dry and damaged hair, and then some leave in conditioner afterwards, it would help with the frizzyness too. One more thing you can do is do a hot oil treatment. If you don't want to go out and buy one, just heat up some olive oil and pour all over your hair and then wrap your hair in a warm towel. Keep it in as long as possible and then rinse out.





It also helps if you comb your hair with a large toothed comb when you are in the shower and have conditioner in your hair. It is better than a brush and is a lot less damaging. Then when you get out of the shower, your hair is basically tangle free already.





People with curly hair need to be really careful about their cut when they go get it done. I've tried thinning my hair and it wasn't the best idea. When they thin your hair, they are basically cutting some hairs shorter than all the rest. What happened with me is when my hair dried after that, the shorter hairs poofed out more since they were shorter and weighed a lot less then the rest of your longer hairs.





But basically when it comes to new hairstyles, it's all trial and error. if you don't like it, then you can wear it up until it grows back out. Braids are always a good idea too.





Hope this helps. For a good conditioner try the Body Shop's Honey Moisturizing conditioner or L'oreal Paris's Vive Pro Hydra Gloss moisturizing conditioner.

I used to have the same exact problem with my poofy frizzy curls. Yes, the drugstore stuff CAN work really well. Herbal Essences Totally Twisted shampoo, conditioner, and styling mousse work so well! I wash my hair with shampoo and conditioner, then flip my head upside down and scrunch it with the mousse. I flip my head back and fix the curls that are uneven and put some mousse (only a little, or else it will look crispy and greasy) on my roots. I then spray it with some hairspray, because by the end of the day my hair would poof no matter what. Spray any kind of hairspray that you have, then let it air dry and you're all set!Curly hair tips??????
Use mousse and scrunch :]
Put some mouse in your hair, and a little bit of lexible hold hairspray %26amp; dry your hair with a diffuser. It will definetly get curly...... Wavy curly is still cute though, so don't stress to much.
They sell products at like Sally's and even Wal-Mart that u can use that do exactly that....make ur hair get curly. Try that.
Try the John Freida hair glaze. It makes your hair super shiney, but not oily. Also, the chi products and Biosilk products work well to tame the frizz, but not make hair look oily.
Aussie mousse works miracles. (use the kind specifically for curly hair.) You can also use Treseme gel and scrunch. If you want to even it out, use a curling iron on random sections to make the curl more uniform.

Curly hair tips?

whenever i seeme to curl my hair ( using hot tongs and vo5 gel hairspray after every curl i do)


it looks good then after 10 minutes the curls all clump together and loosen ...

Pantene ProV scrunching mousse... add a little to your regiment... it holds and separates... i live by it. and im the queen of frizz!Curly hair tips?
well you should try to put water before hairspray and it will make it come out better

I seen it at my grocer store.. that sells a huge variety of professional styling products. I love gels and mousse whichever you prefer.. it helps give the curls definition and I love the look. I use those cool.. hair bobby pins with sparkles.. flowers .. etc.. on the ends. They sell them at Wallgreens.

Curly Hair Tips PLEASE!?

I have blonde, curly, thick, and poofy hair.

I use (repair)ology shampoo and conditioner.

I usually scrunge my hair after with Treseme bouncy curls hair gel.

It all works fine, but after while, when my hair dries, it gets poofy.

Is there anything i can do or use to make my hair not poof when its dries?Curly Hair Tips PLEASE!?
f you want to run out and pick up some products locally, I recommend trying the following:

- Drugstore: L'oreal out of bed weightless texturizer (black tub, use under gel), LA Looks or Herbal essences gels, Suave naturals or vo5 conditioners, L'oreal vive pro hydra gloss or nutri gloss for curly hair, red Cream of Nature shampoo

- Organic/specialty store (like whole foods): Giovanni Direct Leave in condish, G conditioners, G tea tree shampoo, Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose or White Camellia Conditioners, AO B-5 Design gel

- ULTA: Devacurl products, Biosilk rock hard gelee, MOP-c curl defining cream (They also carry drugstore products and giovanni.)



These are all good things I have used, but be sure to tinker around with amounts and how you use any products. For hair type specific products check out these forums:

http://www.naturallycurly.com/curltalk/

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. However, the most popular ones are usually only available online.



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

*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find reviews by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons

*Don't shampoo every day.

*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.

*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.

*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don鈥檛 know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types

*Avoid terrycloth towels on hair; use linen, paper towels, or t-shirts instead.

*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.



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. Give it a shot and check it out:

first of all don't scrunch curly hair because it actually separates the curls and makes it poofy. Second if your hair is frizzy like most curly hair then get liquid silicone trust it works wonders on my hair. Third when your hair is wet only comb it once and then don't touch anymore because every time you touch it the curls get separated and cause the poofyness.
You've came to the right person!!

These are the items you will need for your curly poofy hair.

Some type of wide tooth comb:

Leave in conditioner: Garnier fructis works best

Shampoo and conditioner Finesse products for washing the hair

I hated Treseme products it dried out my hair, also stay away from gels and some mousse it can either make your hair hard and crunchy or flaky using gels. I have amazingly thick curly hair and I feel your pain, but ever since I've been doing this my hair is amazing... Throw out all your hair brushes... Combs will become your new best friend and only comb it when it's wet...

i use aussie sun-touched shine gel which seems to work well.

and use a leave in conditioner...garnier fructis has some.

here is a good way to get spiral curls with less poof:

after you come out of the shower, run some gel through your hair and then comb it with a wide-tooth comb.

then take little sections of your hair and twist them with your finger. (big section=big curl, skinny section=skinny curl) no more scrunching!

after you do that to your whole head, you're good to go! and if you want add a small amount of hairspray to keep it in place, but not enough to make it crunchy.

hope that helps!
after you take a shower brush it put mouse in it and blow dry it after You let it air dry for a while [if u have time]

this is what i do but my hair isntt so so thick BUT idk maybe this will work for you

ohhh and when u blowrdry it tip your head upside down:]
John Frieda collection, frizzease stuff, serum and spray, works a treat.
you basically just described my hair.

I try not to use many products.

I like to keep my hair long and natural.

Curly hair tips??

ok i have really thick curly hair. its pretty long little past my chest. any tips on styling it besides pulling it back into a pony tail??Curly hair tips??
you could always straighten it or put some of it up some down you can wear a headband or you could try at the front of you head there is a bunch of hair take that and put in under you hair you can put in pony tail so when you put them in you hair is on your shoulders. 2 braides or bangs up is good to. oh buns are also very good



Wanna be friends?Curly hair tips??
i had the same issue. i have wicked thick hair. What i do is after i get out of the shower i put leave-in conditioner or gel and put my hair in ten little buns! in the morning...PRESTO curly/wavy (depends on how tight the buns are) if you have curly hair and want it straight...i would just use a flat-iron(make sure you put in product before hand so it burns the product and not your hair, otherwise it will be damaged)



: ) goodluck!
I do too. Mine isn't quite as long as yours though, mabye about an inch shorter. My favourite style (as I love having my hair up) is to get LOADS of bobby pins and a pretty clip in flower or something and you pretty much scrunch your hair to your head and pin it all up randomly and evenly spaced accross the back of your head and then clip the flower in. Or forget about the flower and put a ribbon or head scarf around your head. It is a really cute/messy/funky style. I love it and always get compliments, I also (when I have time) do little random braids. The idea is to look different every time. Experiment with it though so you understand what I mean. (Kind of like this photo but not quite - hopefully you get what I mean :-S lol http://z.about.com/d/prom/1/7/u/-/-/-/um I leave my fringe out though.



I also am always experimenting with headscarves, bobby pins, little braids, curling irons, flowers, ribbons and cute clips. It is all about the accessories! I like to pull out my fringe and braid the front half of my hair in a row (so just the first inch of hair from your fringe) into lots of little braids and pin it back (with bobby pins) its a kind of cute fairy style.



Messy giant buns with flowers etc are really cute with curly hair.



Sometimes (particually if I am going somewhere nice (like a date or something)) I lightly straighten the top half and get my curling iron out and define my natural curls on my bottom half (kind of like this, but more natural looking then her hair)

http://www.freehairstyles.net/wp-content



Or one I wear to work alot is I get the top sides of my hair (if that makes sense, I mean kind of like half up half down sections, but leave a bit of the middle down) they have to be thick sections, and i roughly braid one and roughly pin it to the rest of my hair and then braid the other side similarly, then I braid them together (loosely) and tie them together with a ribbon or hairtie. Vaguely like this picture

http://prom.hairresources.net/PromHalfUp It takes some experimentation though, but is nice when you get the hang of it.



As I have said I am also a fan of braids, so I experiment with them all the time. So instead of a boring and regular half up/half down style, I will braid sections of both the top and bottom section. The top section braids I will tie together with the rest, and I do loose bottom braids just to get funky. Have a look online if you run out of ideas. Just be creative though. I love having curly hair because I have so many options that straight hair doesn't. Just experiment and have fun! Good luck.



(Sorry for blabbering and not making sense, I hope you get me? lol have fun!)
half up, half down.

bangs up.

partial bangs clipped back/to the side.

straighten it (CHI straightener works wonders, and i have the same hair)

two braids.

bun.

Make sure your using black girl hair products cause the others aren't oily enough for your hair,I say leave it down and put a head band on with your curls all wild but conditioned and oiled so they look healthy and full.not frizzy and looking like you got electrocuted.
stragten it then put the top half in a ponytail and then curl the top in big twirls.
hey im half black and white too. a few hairstyles that'll get you compliments on are:

-hlaf up half down: but be creative, use a wide toothed comb to comb your hair with your products, wet or dry, pull half up, leave a few curly strands out highlighting your face, tie the hair with a ponytail holder, pull curls over your shoulders.



-Twist: wen your curls are wet put them in a high or mid way ponytail, twist the ponytail up and clip, leave a few curls dangling



-Clip it: hav your hair down, combed, product in it, and let it air dry, use a brush and right in the middle ( the crown) near the front (right above your forehead) pull a section back and clip it.



-Layer it: get long layers so your curls will be controlled and look good (only if you hav lon hair)
just like wear it down or something that looks good!

Curly hair tips? ?

my hair is super frizzy and poofy... any tips to make it seem much softer, smoother, healthier, and possibly grow faster?! thankss!Curly hair tips? ?
Some kind of curling cream.. NOT GEL! I am currently using Garnier-Fructis Curl Sculpting Cream, and it works great for my curls. I have been trying out different things, and one thing I suggest is using the whole line of products from SunSilk. It is called Captivating Curls, and they sell it in Wal-Mart or Target for cheap.





Good luck :)Curly hair tips? ?
omg mine is the same! i have side bangs though so all the attention won't go on my curls. ok try some curling serum or leave-in conditioner that you put in AFTER your hair is dry. and i know this sounds crazy but if you put lotion in your hair it actually looks better and less-frizzy! also, use some hair spray after your done to keep everything in place
garnier fructis sleek and shine shampoo conditioner leave in conditioner and smoothing cream





this makes my hair sooooo smooth ans shiny

Whats a good product to use on my hair? I live in Florida so its really humid in the summer and I have really curly/puffy hair.Curly hair tips?
I too have curly hair that sometime can get out of hand and when I was younger and I'd straighten it. Since then I have found that I want my hair in a healthy shape. So I've been using Redkin all soft heavy cream, which is a conditioner and works wonderfully on my sisters hair and mine. A little bit goes a long way. Its usually about $13 to $14 dollars. I encourage you to also try the shampoo and conditioner. It doesn't give it that crisp feel that mousse does. I also have used Motions At Home Oil-Free Moisturizer Hair Lotion, you can find this at Sally's Beauty Supply. I live in Oklahoma so I know what you mean about the humid summers. Try new things too that say something about styling lotion.Curly hair tips?
Use Miss jessie's curl meringue for waves and curly pudding for tighter curl. I live by the stuff. It's great. Not grease, dosen't male my hair hard or stiff.
