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 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!

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????????
I have medium length very curly, ringlet curls...what are some cute updos, or styles that i could do??? Also, how can i soften my curls, but not make them look frizzy??? (so they aren't sooo tight ringlets) haha thxCurly hair tips????????
well what you can use the shampoo Finesse it works so amazing to keep those curls and natural hair healthy.Curly hair tips????????
try aussie sprunch spray!! its good!
a leave in conditioner works to soften curls... straighten you hair?
put it in a bun? having up do's are quite trendy now or you could have surfer hair with the 'cba' look.
straighten ends with ceramic straightners to prevent frizzing and this will instantly change your look from just having curly down hair.
use mousse to control frizz.
Mainly i suggest that you try out different products for curly hair and experiment when you've nothing better to do.
