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:

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.

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:

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.
