How do I make my hair curlier?

Question

My hair is somewhere inbetween wavy and curly. Can you recommend any products or do you know any natural ways of making wavy hair curly?

Answer 1

The product is "Curls Rocks" by Bed Head. Put it on when your hair is wet. Scrunch it up with a towel. Then use a diffuser to dry it. When diffusing put your head upside down for volume. When it's almost completely dry, spray some shine spray (Redken Shine is good) and scrunch it with your hands. This should give you a very natural looking curl.
If you want more stiffness and hold, put gel on with the curls rocks and use hairspray while diffusing it!!!!
The product is what really matters. Don't use cheap stuff that will weigh your hair down. Check your beauty salons and supply stores, they always have sales on products.

Answer 2

Mine too (wavy/curly). A good hairdresser can give you a cut that brings out the curl. A shorter cut is usually curlier.... longer more wavy, because the weight of the hair is pulling out the curl. Layers also bring out the curl. Don't do a perm, you don't need one if you have natural curl and a good haircut.

Answer 3

I've got really curly hair. Use serum straight after washing it. Use a diffuser hair dryer and hold your head upside down to dry it, scrunching it lots. Alternatively, put some wax or hair putty in it (mousse is too sticky) and spend a while twirling strands around your finger before gently blowdrying it or leave it to dry naturally.

Answer 4

Have a few layers cut into it to lighten it, then use a curl enhancing product after washing it. Either scrunch it dry with a diffuser or leave it to dry naturally-scrunching it occasionally as it's drying.
I still find mousse the best product for my hair (which sounds the same as yours) I've tried loads of expensive curling creams and scrunching gels but none of them have the same natural curling effect as mousse!

Answer 5

I think the only way you're going to be able to get curlier hair is to get a spiral perm. If you're brave, you can buy these from supermarkets. Alternatively (and preferably) it can be done at a salon, but it does take is toll on your hair. Don't perm your hair if it's coloured or you'll ruin it, and NEVER chemically straighten permed hair as it will melt.

Answer 6

When your hair is wet, put some mousse in there - I like Ganier Fructis, and scrunch it with your fingers. You can also twist some small sections around your finger, and they will probably stay as it dries. Dry it gently using a diffuser, don't over-dry it. When you've finished, use a finishing spray to smooth down an frizzies.

Like many others my Mum said eat your crusts, the funny thing is she used to tell me that while sitting there in her curlers and setting lotion!

Until very recently I had very long hair (goin thin so had to go!), waivy ish, loads of people used to say how nice it was so keep the curlies and the straighties jealous and stay as you are!

Answer 8

buy the babyliss spiral tongs from argos.... they are fab.

Take small sections of hair . Clip the end of the hair to the tongs and wind round the spiral, push to button to lock for 15 seconds and then unwind.

Curl should be there.... spray hairspray before tonging for extra hold.

Answer 10

my grandmother's trick always seems to work. it's an old method.. but works!
get some rags, rip them into strips and tie them round segments of your hair, when wet and after applying some sort of serum perhaps (depending if you want ringlets or small curls, make the segments of hair small or large) and leave to dry naturally :)
or curling appliances will work hehe...
