Answer 1

I use Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Gel, it comes in a spray bottle and isn't sticky like hair spray. I like it quiet well, just spray in damp hair and go!

Answer 2

A girl I once knew would wrap her hair around little pieces of cloth (like a ripped up shirt) and tie them at the top of her head. If your hair is naturally that straight there is no mouse or gel that will magically curl your hair for you. Next time you get your hair cut I would ask the stylist, they usually know the latest tips and tricks for getting your hair to do what you want it to do. Also - sometimes using a 1/2" straightener and curling your hair with that works because they tend to be hotter than a curling iron - if you have a friend with one it's worth a try.

Answer 3

Sorry, but the shape of your hair is what makes it straight, curly or anywhere in between...therefore there is nothing you can do that will change the composition of your hair and you've pretty much named every way to get it curly.

I would play around with different types of curlers before school starts...that way you're not burning out your hair and it's relatively cheap, so if you want to change the size of the curl it won't cost you too much...use a mousse or gel that sets hair...

Answer 4

Try going to the salon and getting a wave, it is like a perm but much more gentle on your hair. It makes looser waves, adds volume and if you do use a curling iron the curls stay a lot longer. They usually cost about 70 dollars.

Answer 5

Pin curls. Put some product in your hair and while it's still wet, wrap strands of hair around your finger and fasten with a bobby pin flat to your head. Do this to all the sections of your hair. Blow dry or sleep over night like that. Works for me. Trick is to wrap the hair right. It's like getting a perm for a day... you curl it wrong and you got some funky hair all day. Good luck.

Answer 6

You can try this

Test this before you want the curls

wash your hair and dry it till it's barely damp. Put a setting lotion in your hair around 7pm

Use the bendable rods and wrap your hair around them. twist them to hold. Use small sections and having a friend to help is even better.

Wrap your head up with a scarf and sleep on them. When you wake up see if your hair had dried all the way. If it hasn't keep them in, till your hair had dried.

Undo one rod at a time slowly undoing your hair.
Fluff with your fingers and enjoy your curls

Answer 7

First off, you just eliminated all the options to get curly hair. Secondly, OMG!!! Why would you want to give up silky, straight, smoothe hair?? I would LOVE to have your hair. My hair is frizzy, poofy, curly, and dry!!! But, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of shampoos that make hair curly. I've seen them just cant remember the name.

Answer 8

you need to set your hair while it's wet with a setting lotion or mousse and part your hair in sections all over and twist it, if you have a dryer use it to dry your hair and then that will give you a nice natural wave.. a volumizing mousse will work best then take the hair loose and do not comb or brush just shake it and go

Answer 9

if you want to go for the kind of scrunchy-curled look, any kind of hair gel with a moderate to heavy hold will work. just distribute a good amount of it evenly throughout your hair, and then kind of squeeze the ends with your hands (aka scrunch). otherwise, there's not really any other way to get curly hair without using heat or braiding it.

Answer 10

There are lots of curl activators that come in sprays, shampoos, and such. Just go to the store, pick one out, try it and see if it works and if you like it.
