Answer 1

just use Magical Grow it's sold in sally's beauty supply for about five dollars. only use a little bit, or else it will stay with you for days.
buy a curling shampoo and a therapy conditioner like dove. try cutting your hair in layers, and tin it a little bit. that way, you won't loose your curls. blow dry your hair with a diffuser, and put a little bit of Paul Mitchell's sculpting foam to not make it look so frizzy.
and if you don't want to do any of that, just use some mousse, and citre shine, combined with curling shampoo.

Answer 2

With curly hair it is easy for it to become damaged, since most people use products to control/ defrizz/ etc. these curls.
I have curly hair myself - so I share in your pain... but what has really helped me is to
1. Do not wash your hair every day!
2. At least once a week wash your hair with a shampoo which is made to detox it/ or get out all other products. (ask stylist to recommend any there are so many)
3. Get a conditioning treatment every 2-3 weeks. This will really help keep those curls healthy well hydrated so they won't frizz out on you. They only cost like 10-50 cents at Sally Beauty Supply Store. You can do this at home on your own.
4. Hopefully you know not to brush curls...
5. Product recommendation - SoftCursl by Activate

Best of luck Curly Girl!

Answer 3

Do the Curly Girl routine (it's a book I read that totally, um, turned my head around about curly haircare.)

Wash your hair with ONLY conditioner. If your roots need shampoo, then coat the bottom half of your hair with conditioner while you wash to protect it from the shampoo. If you used shampoo, then rinse and repeat.

If you don't use shampoo, here's the deal: work conditioner through your hair, massaging your scalp and working out the loose hairs. Rinse only enough to distribute the conditioner through your hair--a lot will be left in your hair, and it should feel smooth and sleek, not "squeaky." Squeaky BAD. Towel dry, scrunching your hair from ends up to the roots.

Apply a small (like, coin-sized) blob of clear, light gel to your palms, rub them together, and scrunch them through your hair. Ta-da! Get the book, because there are more details than I can outline for you, but you basically treat your hair gently, like delicate fabric, and it will respond beautifully. It works for me! And my hair smells *fantastic*, by the way--people love the smell of my hair. I use Aussie Dual Personality conditioner and an unscented shampoo on my roots. And give it a few washes to work--your hair has to be trained properly to respond well.

You can mix some lemon juice with your conditioner every now and then to remove the conditioner and gel residue and leave your hair shiny and bouncy. Plus, it'll help the blonde color.

i dont shampoo everyday but i condition everyday before bedtime
before i go to bed i put in some mousse (and maybe anti freeze serum liquid) - loreals curl stuff- and scrunch my hair with my hands....then sometimes i blow dry the top so it wont look all crazy in the morning...and if it does, i put it in a loose pony for about ten minutes (while i wash my face, get dress etc) and then take it out and im good to go. Sometimes i part it on the side with some bobby pins or a nice clip.
loreal's mousse keeps my hair soft so thats why i like it...you dont need to use it if you dont want to, you could just take a shower and scrunch your hair, then go to bed (the pony thing really helps tame it in the morning...and so does blow drying the top, maybe try putting it in a half pony and then blow drying the top of the half pony) it really depends on how curly your hair is tho...
if you like showers in the morning then just do the same thing- just blow dry it a little so it wont be sopping wet before you leave

Answer 5

I have very curly, unruly, blonde hair, too. I keep it trimmed to just below my shoulders, in razor cut layers to give it some control. I have to wash and condition it everyday, or I can't get a comb through it....I use a pick, actually-never a brush! Then when it's wet I put a curling serum in it, either one for curls, or an anti-frizz serum, and let it air dry. It only takes me a few minutes. For work, I usually have a headband in, just to keep it out of my face for microscope work. When working in the barn, or with my horses, I'll put it in a ponytail. I hated my hair growing up, but now I love it and wouldn't change it for anything!

Answer 6

You've got to try Pureology Hydrate. I had very, very , dry curly hair. This stuff is a miracle!! I've tried EVERYTHING and this stuff really works. It's fairly expensive, but it lasts for quite a while, about 6 months. You only use about the size of a nickle. Look for it on ebay, it's much cheaper. Don't pay more than $40 or so for the shampoo and conditioner.

Answer 7

Curly Long Hair

Put it up into a tousled casual updo using hair accessories. In general, curly hair, once controlled, can be gorgeous long

Tips:

1. Avoid the frizz by using the correct products, like texturing balms and serums.

2. Avoid brushing curly hair, which distributes air through it and creates more frizz.

3. Beware of layers with curly hair. Layers tempt the hair to upward more quickly, creating volume (and frizz) where you don't want it.

Go for a short cut. There are a lot of lovely styles for short curly hair.

Answer 9

Fifteen minutes to groom armpit hair? Great Ceasar's ghost! Alert the media.

Answer 10

Get it thinned and then gel it in the morning. The thinning will give you less fullness but still alot of curl this way you have less hair to work with.
