How to Make Wavy/Curly Hair Look Beautiful

Are you a curly (or wavy) girl, and are you sick of your hair looking like a frizzy mess? Curly and wavy hair can be very attractive, but not if there is only poof and no curls.

Here are some tips to help you lose your "bird's nest" and gain luscious locks!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Use shampoo and conditioner that are specifically created for curly/wavy hair. However, you should only shampoo every other day, as applying shampoo too frequently can cause your hair to become more oily, but condition everyday to keep your hair moisturized and tangle-free. Also, for best results, leave the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes before rinsing.

2. Rinse your hair out with COOL or COLD water instead of warm or hot, as cold or cool water will give your a hair a better shine and overall appearance.

3. While in the shower or when your hair is soaking wet, comb through it gently with a wide-toothed comb to remove tangles and prevent any breakage or damage to your hair. When your hair is dry, comb through it with your fingers. Do not brush it, as brushing your hair will remove curls and add frizz.

4. Trim split ends at least every six weeks to prevent unevenness in length and to make your hair appear healthy and beautiful!

Tips & Warnings

• Use blow dryers and curling irons as little as possible to prevent your hair from drying out. It is best to let it dry naturally.
• For extra moisture and softness and to get rid of tangles even more effectively, condition your hair TWICE a day, leaving it in for a few minutes each time before rinsing.
