Here's my dilema. I have naturally curly hair. For the past year I have been blowing my hair straight and have recently wanted to start wearing it curly again. It has lost a little bit of its curly although I think this is temporary. In the past I have used products such as paul mitchel's styling foam and loved it but want to see if there is something more updated. I want my curls to be light and controlled not stick hard, and weighed down so I do not particularly like using gel. Any suggestions of products I can use to achieve my desired look?? In addition to this I am wanting my hair to grow as quickly and as healthy as possibly by next year. Are there any vitamins and/or products out there to help this??

Ouidad. I use it and it works very well in keeping my curls defined, soft, and moisturized. It's made especially for people with curly hair so it should work wonders for you.

I worked in a hair salon owned by two curly hair specialists. They always used ISO Tamer Foam in curly hair. It was like a mousse. You put it in your hair when it's wet and let it dry naturally. When it's dry you'll have your curls, they will be a little stiff, but the product is mainly designed for frizz so when your curls are all dry finger comb your hair and you will have soft natural curls. This product can also be used to help straighten your hair, put it in wet and then blow dry, and it helps keep the frizz away when it's straight.
You can find it in salons that specialize in curly hair and you can also find it in a beauty product distribution store. It's About $11, depending on where you go.

I can either wear my hair straight (with work of a hair dryer and iron) or curly and the best product that I have found is by Matrix. The product is Matrix Biolage Curl Defining Crème. It does not make my hair sticky or weighed down. If you are in the U.S. you can purchase it at Ulta. Hope this helps.

Try using Aveda's Be Curly curl lotion. If used correctly it can restore your curls as well as tame frizzes. There is also a website just for people with curly hair www.naturallycurly.com. They have some helpful tips on curly hair care.

You could try the Curls Rock line from Catwalk. Allot of my clients love it. The curl amplifier is good for a controlled curl w/o getting hard and crunchy.

Anything by the brands: FX, got2b, TIGI, samy, and L'Oreal work well. Make sure you use a diffuser when you dry your hair! The curls will appear much lighter and less frizzy than if you blow dry them w/o a diffuser or even air-drying.

The VO5 red can of curly hair mousse is great for putting on wet hair and then scrunching. I usually finish it off with frizz ease syrum.

Don't dye or iron your hair. Leave it as it is.
