how can get the 'perfect' curls?

Question

my hair is curly.although the curls arent that small, they are just smaller then i would like them to be.
my friend suggested that i straighten then use curling tongs but that together sounds like too much damage for my hair.
anyone know anything i can try?

Answer 1

You might try a straightening balm or creme to help relax your curls a bit. If you use it right it will just relax the curls rather than give you stick-straight hair.

Answer 2

Surprisingly, old fashioned sponge curlers work well if you already have curl. I use hot curlers from time to time also. If you are worried about damage to your hair, try using a few drops of avocado oil a few times a month. Leave it on overnight and then use a conditioner in the morning to lock in the oil. Its natural and healthy for your hair. :)

Answer 3

Use a hot air brush on a low setting with slightly damp hair after using a smoothing lotion with medium hold.

The heat should give you nice wavish curls and the smoothing lotion will help keep the frizzies away.

Answer 4

The best way for me to think of is to get your hair done at a salon the way you want it to look and ask the stylist tips on how to replicate it. He/She will know the best way that won't fry your hair.
