Question

Plz answer

Answer 1

umm, there are a LOT of products that you can use to keep your hair curly.
mousse works really well, don't use gel because it will make your hair hard and rough but mousse is good.
go to a local drug store and find some products that will specifically say they're for keeping curls in tact.

Answer 2

You didn't include what hair type you have.

I have medium length, naturally wavy hair. To make mine very curly, I paper-towel dry my hair (seriously... using a cloth towel will bring out frizz rather than soft, sleek curls) then put in about 3 large handfuls of mousse all over my hair. It seems excessive, but I've found that this amount works best for my hair. Then I blowdry my hair on a high setting (because my hair is thick, it takes a long time to dry). Even though heat usually straightens hair rather than curls it, for me it does the opposite. I also blowdry upside down to enhance volume. This keeps my hair curly for over 24 hours, and it's much easier than setting my hair in rollers.

If your hair is fine, like my sister's, you have limited options. Hairspray a 2-inch section of hair, then use a curling iron on a high setting. Or use hot rollers and then majorly hairspray afterwards.

Answer 3

If your hair is long it is harder to stay curled because the weight will pull it down. Use a mousse specifically designed for maintaining curl, and don't ever hair spray while curling because it can cause your hair to break.

Answer 4

Try putting hair spray on the strand of hair your about to curl and then spray it again after curling it.

Answer 5

I used to use mousse in hair while it was wet, and then curled it, it seemed to work better than just trying to style.

Answer 6

Set your hair with mousse and smaller rollers.The tighter the set the longer you will have curls.

Answer 7

you could start out by preping the hair first by blow drying some mousse or gel then spray the hair before and after you curl this should do the trick.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Have your mom take wet strips of clothe, and wind it through your hair, best done b4 you go to bed,leave them in, then take them out in the morning. Another solutiion would be foam rollers. I used to use these rollers by Richard Caruso, called "Caruso Curlers, and they were awesome. I still have, even though I don't use them as often as I used to.

Answer 10

putting hair spray and curl it again.
