Curly hair tips, please help?

My hair is really curly, and I actually would love to wear it that way but it seems like I never can because no matter what I do it ends up extremely frizzy and it is sooooo nappy that by the time I comb through it, the other side is already knotted up again. Does anyone have any tips on how I can keep my hair curly without it having to be loaded up in products or super frizzy??Curly hair tips, please help?
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 ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons


*Don't shampoo every day.


*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.


*Never use a brush on dry hair, only untangle when the hair is wet.


*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; use microfiber 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





For specific products for your hair type you鈥檒l want to explore the forums at:


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


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.

my hair gets like that too, here's what i do, and maybe it will work for you too:


use one of those leave in conditioners for about 3 minutes (it says it on the bottle how long) and then wash it out


if you do, don't tilt your head upside down and put it into a towel, that's how it gets frizzy.


I use this gel stuff called Curls Up, (it smells kinda funky but you only smell it when you put it into your hair) and I put it in when it's damp.


And then comb it.


Then I go to sleep right away with it wet. (just put a towel on your pillow if you really think you need it.)


And then in the morning, put some mousse in your hair (i use Aussie) so that way the curls stay in place. and then maybe a little hairspray.
Dry your hair with an old cotton T-shirt instead of a towel. the loops in the towels get caught on hair and can damage your hair. It'll on reduce the amount of frizz though. I have the same problem with my hair. I just try to use non-alcoholic products whenever I can.
i work a small amount of body lotion trough my hair and it protects your hair from frizz!!
