Things You'll Need:
- Anti-frizz spray or serum
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Shine-enhancing sprays
- Curl oils
-
Step 1
Use a good leave-in conditioner to protect your long, straight hair while using a hairdryer or flat iron. You should also use a sealer or heat protectant if you find yourself using hot tools on a regular basis.
-
Step 2
Spray your hair with light products, instead of using heavy creams or gels. Quickly spritzing your hair with anti-frizz spray or hair spray will keep your long locks shiny.
-
Step 3
Moisturize your hair regularly with a good conditioner, but be careful of adding too much oil to your hair. Most long straight hair needs to be washed on a daily basis.
-
Step 4
Reactivate lifeless hair (and your styling products) by spraying the roots with water. Besides helping you refresh your style, the water will add body to your roots. This keeps dry, limp long hair looking better throughout the day.
-
Step 5
Use a pomade to create a piece-y layered look that falls exactly right. Avoid waxes that will make your hair sticky and clumpy, and stick to pomade to style your layers.
-
Step 1
Control the frizz with an anti-frizz serum. Besides controlling stray hairs, the serums define curls. Avoid overstyling to prevent further frizz from forming.
-
Step 2
Use shampoos and conditioners formulated for curly hair. Regular shampoos weigh your hair down, making your curls limp and lifeless.
-
Step 3
Work with your curls to achieve healthy long and curly hair. Using too much mousse or gel will harden your hair and dry it out. Instead, try oils or buy styling products specifically made for curly hair.
-
Step 4
Visit a professional to color your long, curly hair. This type of hair can dry out easily, so you want to avoid overtreating it with do-it-yourself products.
