how to style curly hair????

i have naturally curly hair and it is sooooooo annoying!!!

its like medium length (just an inch or 2 under my shoulders)

its blond (yellowish blond, not bleach)



the thing is its not all that bad... this is what i do with it:

i wash it twice a week

i wash it with both conditioner and shampoo of course...

i brush it

after i wash it i put some hair mouse on it

i diffuse it sometimes or just let it dry

and it looks fine until i go to sleep and wake up the nest morning and its all puffy and frizzy and tangled and if i brush it, it looks even worse!!!

Have you tried washing in the morning or plopping overnight?

Sleeping on a satin pillowcase can help reduce tangles and damage. I also recommend not brushing, especially when your hair is dry. You should detangle when wet with a wide toothed comb instead. It's also good to do so when your conditioner is in.



Long to medium length hair with long layers is probably the best cut. The layers will help with drying and untangling time. The hair will also hang better. However, DO NOT get short layers (they will stick up and look funny) or ';thinning'; with razors (that will make your ends ratty). Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair as well.

This is a great article on curly scene hair. Basically you can still get unnaturally colored highlights and straighten sections:

Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:

*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons

*Don't shampoo every day.

*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.

*Never use a brush on dry hair, only untangle when the hair is wet.

*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.

*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don鈥檛 know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types

*Avoid terrycloth towels; use microfiber or t-shirts instead.

*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.

*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying.

*Once dry scrunch out any crunchy texture.



For specific products for your hair type you might also want to explore the forums at:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. I would recommend something, but I don鈥檛 know your hair type. :)



Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

-good luck
don't brush it. i have curly hair too so i know how you feel. i usually just wear mine out or in a ponytail. if you re wash it again in the morning or even just wet it and put mousse in it as per usual it should just curl back nice again for the day.
DONT GET IT CUT SHORT! IT MAKES IT SO HARD TO STYLE AND IT TAKES ALOT MORE LABOR AND CARE TO KEEP IT LOOKING NICE! LONG HAIR IS ALWAYS EASIER, JUST LET IT GROW OUT AND THE CURLS WITH LOOK NICE, AND DONT GET SHORT LAYERS!
