Help me manage my curly hair :(?

I have this crazy curly/wavy/frizzy hair that reaches just below my shoulder blades. I've been blow drying it straight for years, but now I want to embrace the madness and leave it curly. The only problem is, I'm not quite sure how to manage it and create nice, natural curls (preferably without using heat).



I have an idea of what I want to do, and I'm pretty sure my hair can do it too!

Thank you so much for your help!!!! :-D



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

PERSONALLY help you manage your hair?!? That's out of my jurisdiction.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

Why don't you go to a hair salon and get a perm? They last like 3 monts! It'll probably work. Or if you don't want to, ask them what to do yourself.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

I have naturally wavy/curly hair and every day I use paul mitchell extra body sculpting foam and john freida frizz ease and the scrunch my hair a little bit.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

I have naturally curly hair and wish it was straight sometimes. LOL. Sorry, I don't know what to tell you to do.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

I have curly hair just like the pic. I use all Frizz Ease products or Ouidad. Oidad is cool b/c they tailor your products to the questionairre you fill out, but it's pricey.



I've used both w/ great results, just follow the directions.



In my experience diffusing when the hair is still pretty wet works best, but get it ALL the way dry or frizzies will pop out.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

i have the thickest curliest hair in the WORLD. what to do to tame your curls is buy some defrizzer. i always had to put defrizzer in it then put mouse on top of that and i let it air dry. the defrizzer will help define your curls and not make them a big hairball on your head and the mouse will help it to stay in place. you can buy products that are DIRT cheap at walmart that do this or you can go out and spend some money at ahair salon and get top of the ine things. they all gave me the same result

If you like hair that looks like you've just been @ the beach, you can buy this stuff from garnier fructis called surf hair.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

i also have really curly hair. what i do to my hair is use an anti frizz serum from citrus shine before i untangle my hair. then i put some mousse on it herbal works good and use a diffuser. make sure you dry it completely.



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

When you get out of the shower put a little conditioner, a little gel, an a little spray. I have natural curly hair and that recipe works like a charm on me!!!



Oh make sure your hair is damp NOT soaking wet!!!!



Help me manage my curly hair :(?

ahh i have hair exactly like yours.



and when i wear it curly, it looks a lot like the picture you posted.



heres what you need to do to get your hair like that:



1) when you get out of the shower brush your hair, and try to wring most of the water



2) wait about 10 minutes [in which time you could get dressed or whatever] and then apply some type of gel or mousse to your hair. you can find these anywhere. a salon, a drugstore, wal-mart, target. just look for a mousse or gel thats specifically made for shaping or crimping curly hair. squeeze out the gel/mousse into your hands and then start crimping your damp hair.



3) after you have crimped your damp hair with a thourough amount of gel/mousse, spray hairspray generously throughout your hair. this will keep it frizz-free and hold the curls.



good luck :)

I have curly hair, you can say ..?

I have curly hair, you can say, and I use a pantene mousse and a back to basics gel. I also use a leave in conditioner. I use these products after a shower. It dries and when I go to bed and wake up in the morning, it's not what I want it to be. It doesn't like wave from the top its kinda straight from the top but it doesnt look bad, i just don't want like that. I want either looser curls or tighter curls not somewhere in the middle, and definetely more volume. The length of my hair is a couple inches below my shoulders, and it's in layers [layers are a bit below my chin] Any ideas or suggestions of what I can do or use to make my hair look better? Thanks. =)



I have curly hair, you can say ..?

curls are better when you hair is one length. When you layer curly hair you often cut out the best bit of the curl.



I have curly hair, you can say ..?

You can have layers just make sure they're not more than 1in. and not too many. also try not to get too many in the back. when you have curls no matter what you do it will never look nice when you wake up. just water down some mousse and work with the top layer just dont over do it. The longer your hair the less volume the roots will have, keep this in mind. Also ditch the gel it only makes it look like you have less hair and dries it out.

How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

I have short curly hair and i want it straight for good. You know people have straight hair can get a perm and make their hair curly. Can I do the same with Curly but make it straight?



How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

Well, you can chemically straighten your hair, but, I would caution that you may not get your curls back when you want them. Not knowing HOW short your short is... if it's long enough to pull back or put up, use product that is formulated to straighten and smooth hair, and blow dry using a large round brush, followed by a flat iron.



If it's shorter than that... try one of those hot air brush wands that looks like a curling iron. That always works for me on the rare occassions I don't want to celebrate my curls. :-)

How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

well if u really want to, u can go get the "japanese hair straightening" one. it makes ur hair super straight and slick!



however, ur curly roots might grow out after, making it curly on top and straight below. that's why u have to straighten it( touch up) every 6 months or ur hair will look funny.



but if u want soft manageable hair while it lasted... go for japanese one...



How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

why???? enjoy your lucious locks...



How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

the best thing is to get your hair straighted.... there is a product thats about 30 bucks at walgreens from john friedia (sp?) and it lasts about 3 months...but you will always have to do something, everytime your hair grows in it will be curly. the only thing that i have heard of being able to change your hair texture is to shave it off...but thats no guarantee



How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

Use a good Hair Serum, John Frieda makes one for eliminating Frizz, Frizz Ease Collection. If youa re using a straightening Iron, use a good conditioner to help protect your hair.



How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

yesss...you can go for pressing of your hair..though its not permanent n lasts only till u wash your hair.



But it can be a gud option in order to avoid any exensive or chemical treatment.



How can someone with curly short hair straighten it without making it wavy or fuzzy or damage?

you can get them chemically straightened which may last from 3-5 months or use the straightening iron for short term solutions. however in either case, be prepared for some damage to hair. doing this repeatedly makes the hair rough and weak. if you use straightening iron, use thermal protection lotions before using the iron.

I need help with my curly hair, any experts out there?

Hello,



I'm a boy with curly hair and I heard L' oreal Studio Products are great. I want to know which L' oreal Studio Product will be best for my hair. My hair is frizzy and dry. The lenght of my hair is medium, not short or long. I want something that would make my hair stay wet all day, give it shine, make my curls soft, and frizzy free. Thank You for your help, I really appreciated it.



I need help with my curly hair, any experts out there?

BioSilk has to be one of the best products for naturally curly hair. If you don't want to spend alot, use a hair gel after you get out of the shower which controls friz and keeps it smooth, or use a mousse which keeps your hair looking 'wet'.



I need help with my curly hair, any experts out there?

I believe one product is called pumping curls or something like that. It is a curl enhancer. Spray that on when wet, finger set it, and don't touch the hair the rest of the day. It will keep away frizzies and give smooth, defined curls. I don't like the scent of it, personally, and prefer Pantene products, but they might smell too "frilly" for you. Get a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and deep condition your hair, too. Make sure the ends are trimmed and healthy, even if that means taking off length. It isn't worth having longer hair if it is in bad shape.



I need help with my curly hair, any experts out there?

use Frizz-Ease it's by john frieda it works great cus i have curly hair and before i make my hair stright i use it....it makes it look wet and shiny or Garnier Fructis they have stuff for curly hair to



I need help with my curly hair, any experts out there?

go to a salon and get matrix curl life defining cream. It works great and smells good too. I use it on my hair. It doesn't have any hold and it won't leave your hair stiff. It defines the curls and leaves your hair soft. (you know so your girl can still run her fingers through it! lol) good luck.

Help with curly hair?????

my hair is curly (im mixed...black and asian..) and EVERYTIME i try to wear my hair down...it looks good for like an hour...and then it starts getting extremely poofy...and ive been trying for years to fix it so i can wear it down and it be...........down! does anybody know any natural rememdies or tips for me so my hair will stay down.????



P.S- and i mean poofy lyk BIG.....not just a lil frizzy............its a huge afro!!!!!!!!



Help with curly hair?????

Oh honey I have the same problem. I'm mixed to, Jamaican and Italian so I have extremely thick hair that has beautiful curls.... but it just poofs too much. I litterally can't wear my hair down because I look like a clown. Let me tell you some things that worked well for me before I got my hair permanently straightened. I used to get my hair thinned. The idea behind this is that they take some hair out at the root to take out some volume. That worked really well for me, but you have to keep up on it or else the new growth will make your whole head look like you've got a fro underneath all of your other hair. I think you know what I'm talking about. LOL The other thing I did was I wore my hair down and went to the hair dresser. I told her to cut my hair dry to shape my hair to be less volumous. I absolutely HATE my hair... it's ridiculous man!!! Finally I just go that CHI permanent straightener. So much easier. Now my hair is soft, healthy and NOT frizzy or poofy. Good luck honey!!



Help with curly hair?????

leave-in conditioner is the best for curly hair...maybe try using biosilk as well...it gives you good shine and makes your hair a little more silky instead of course like most curly hair is



Help with curly hair?????

dont use spray or mousse, use heavy creams, it will hold it down, or get a japanese straightening... its alot of money but so so worth it!!!!



Help with curly hair?????

I have really curly hair. What i do is use a leave in conditioner after showering to get moisture and then add gel and a little hairspray when i style it and it keeps my hair down. Oh and u should also use a hair serum. I use pantene. It gives it shine.



Help with curly hair?????

I have curly hair and it always poofs up



What I do is I put in some hair mousse or gel and blowdry it with COLD air,hot air will make it frizz up.



After I make sure it is somewhat dry I add a little more of the product I am using and voila!



you should have non-poofy hair



which we curly haired girls all desire :D



Good luck!



Help with curly hair?????

i have really curly hair too.. and i prefer the wet look.. how about you?? well after i wash my hair i would put either small talk by bed head tigi or shimmer curl gel by schwarzkopf and it give me the wet looks.... and also your hair has to be partly wet before you apply any of this and also apply a generous amount of it on your hair.. they help to amplify and enhance curls... well hope this helps....

Scrunched curly hair for super straight?

I really want to do my hair like curly with the wet look (i tried to find a pic, but i couldn't), i have super straight, thick hair that tends to be frizzy and i don't think i'm going the scrunching right because mine always looks limp and i want it to have volume. does this make sense? help please and thank you!



Scrunched curly hair for super straight?

I have volume and a little tiny bit of wave in my hair, and I can't get it to scrunch and stay. (Though I haven't spent a ton on different hair product either...that could be the answer.)



Hope someone can help...good luck.

Scrunched curly hair for super straight?

Ok if you have a straight iron or something use it like three times and use hair spray. Or you could put your hair up with your bangs on both sides that would look so good.



Love,

Scrunched curly hair for super straight?

my hair is stick straight... but I can get that scrunch look



I wash my hair, then I take gel (really strong hold) and scruch my hair using my hands first getting the gel all over... then I take a towel and scrunch it some more... to get excess moisture out... then I take some pomade (fructis is good) and put that through out my hair, scrunching all the while (this makes it stay wet looking) then I spray a sprits of hairspray over the whole thing... it tends to stay for about 12 hours or so...



I have attached a pic of my hair straight and of it after doing this so you can see the results
