Question

Since i am of African American decent, my hair is permed, but when you wash it its back to nappy but with less curl. I just want to know how to get wavy curls without damaging my frigile African hair.

Answer 1

I would try to wet sets. Basiclly your use plastic rollers or rods to curl hair.

Steps:
1) wash & conditions
2) while hair is still damp you roll your hair with a foaming wrap lotion, ex. motions, isoplus, any will do
3) I would use rollers that come with covers its easier.
4) You can buy all of your supplys at Sally Beauty Supply.

Answer 2

Since your hair is permed your going to have to either use an iron, if your not one to deal with the heat. I would go with a rod set or a straw set. It will come out curly and can last for about 2 weeks.

Answer 3

Wash your hair, add mousse and set on rollers.
OR
Wash your hair, braid it and let it dry and take the braids out
OR
John Frieda makes a spray for relaxed hair to give a wavy pattern
you can get it at target

Wash your hair and add BE CURLY by Aveda. I love this stuff.
OR
Wave Nueavo (spelling?)
OR
GET Wet and Wavy braid extensions or a weave, you have lots of options
