How to manage wavy, frizzy hair to create shiny manageable curls?

Question

I have wavy, frizzy hair & want to have manageable curls. I wash, condition & let them air dry. most of the hair curl really well like this, but the top hair usually frizz out & don't form curls & make the shiny curls below them look bad. How can I make sure there's no frizz & curls are shining. I live in India & a lot of products might not be available here, so please suggest products which are available in India.
Also what kind of hairstyle should I get. I have a long oval face.

Answer 1

well I don't know exactly what products are available in India but I would assume you can find some sort of hair gel- curly hair WILL get frizzy if you don't put gel in it! just put a big blob in your hand, flip your head upside down, rub your palms together and then run your hands through your hair. Do this maybe 2 or 3 times, then scrunch it with a towel and try to touch it as little as possible, because if you separate the curls they will frizz!

also, never sleep with your hair in a ponytail if you can help it- it breaks off your hair and then the short hairs make your hair look frizzy.

as far as hairstyles, get some layers around your face. the fact that you have curly hair is good for a long face though because it won't lay flat against your head.

I have naturally curly unruleing hair ! Seems I'm only one in family with this hair type , so I had to find out things on my own, so I would say twice a week for first month deep condition over night , with leave in treatment , you can try different ones to see which is best for your hair, also try to cut back on washing it ,like every other day , soap strips natural oils from hair. to keep my hair nice at night on non day I wash , I will place a bandanna or scarf on my head to keep it from not frizzing in morning, also try oils in hair , there are so many , I use a product I'm not sure is there called biosilk or silk works, and is great I put on every morning and leaves it nice and not to oily , you can also try baby lotion as well I have heard this works on some hair and baby oil only a little with the baby oil. when you wash use a conditioner made for frizzy hair and if you can get your hands ion CATWALK oatmeal shampoo and conditioner , buy it , it is great and smells good too . OK I Am giving you links to what i use ok , maybe you can find simlar there or buy offline.
Ok this i use instead mouse :TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Curl Amplifier, and the rest as you can see on link it is the blue ones and oatmeal /honey sham&condit.

I do not blow dry my hair at all anymore let dry natural if you can , if you use cream it will not get the hard feel as mouse dose when you let it dry natural

My hair AND face is the Same! Weird! Wash your hair every two days and condition it. Don't use too much conditioner, because that will make hair frizzy. If you put in some leave-in conditioner in your waves, that will help. You can use a flower in your hair if you have a side part, or every once in a while, you can straighten it. That will always get complements! CHI sells really good straightners. You can try loose braids with strands falling out on each side. Or loose pigtails with strands falling out. side ponytails with one braid in it works well, and french braiding about once every two weeks will get complements. If you take a strand of hair from each side of your head, twist it, and tie it together at the back of your head, that looks awesome! Also, if you rinse out your hair w/ cold water, your hair will gradually get less frizzy! :) Hope this helped. Good luck!

you could use 'denise McAdams' shampoo... i have crazy hair, but that stuff helps so much! or if you wanna be good to the environment and animals you could use 'Nicky Clarke- hairomatherapy' it hasnt been tested on animals and it's in an aluminium bottle so it can be recycled! that stuff is also great!
i put the shampoo on my hair (obviously while its wet) and brush it through, that tends to get rid of the knots. i was advised to only brush my hair when i wash it, now i have crazy curls! yeah, anyway, then i wash the shampoo out and wrap a towel around my head to let it dry. i dont use a hair dryer because it actually takes away the moisture in your hair and makes things worse! then i take the towel off my head and don't do anything else to it! it's kinda simple really...
hope i've been helpful! phants x x x

not sure if this is available in india,but
go to the health food store, get a bottle of aloe vera gel, not juice. it will be thick, clearish and a little bumpy. wash and condition your hair as usual, towel dry. pour some aloe vera gel into the hand, and squish out the lumps, distribute it through your hair. comb in through well, style as you would like, form the curls with your fingers, you can let it air dry then comb thru with your fingers or a wide tooth comb. this will calm the hair, make it very shiny and healthy looking without stickiness or odor. do not brush when wet.

hmmm, I think any kind of anti frizz product you have over there would help......and a diffuser on your blow dryer, don't blow dry your hair all the way just enough so that the diffuser works....thes a tubular looking thing with a wide end that helps with frizz.......lets see........air drying you hair is ok depending on your weather......I know it gets REALLY hot over there and the heat especially with humidity is havoc on naturally curly hair.......here we have shampoos conditioners, frizz drops and styling products to help with frizz.......you can prolly order things on the net to be shipped to india.......Biosilk silk therapy is WONDERFUL! I don't know if you would have it over there. its like a hair serum that u buy in salons.......you can look that up.......also using some sort of mousse in your hair after you get out of the shower will help.......

good luck! my hair is naturally wavy and i hate it! i have to work at it to make it curly or work at it to make it straight!
