Comments on: How to Care For Curly, Frizzy Hair

on 1/16/2006 I use tea tree oil on my curls. It has a wonderful, natural scent, and (depending on how oily your hair is) I would say never wash your hair more than 2-3 times a week. Washing can dry your curls out something serious. Run your fingers through your hair when you're in the shower, while the conditioner is in, and at all costs avoid brushing your curls. Brushing creates a frizzy mess.

on 12/19/2005 My hair is naturally curly, but when I leave it to dry, it goes frizzy. To stop frizzes, run moose through your hair with your fingers and let your hair to dry naturally.

on 12/16/2005 Naturally curly hair is just that - naturally curly. It is best to comb out the knots in the shower after conditioning and the re-condition. Once you have re-conditioned, do not re-comb the hair. By doing so, you separate the curls from their natural bending and gathering together. Natural curly hair does not have uniform curls, like a perm. The more you separate them, the more they look like a perm. Once you get out of the shower take a towel and start lightly scrunching the hair, don't remove too much water. Add your favorite styling products, and then scrunch again while using a diffuser on low heat. If you live in an area where there are lots of chemicals in the water, your best bet is to buy bottled water from the grocery store for your final rinses after conditioning.

on 12/16/2005 I use Aussie moist shampoo and "knot forgotten" detangler along with leave-in conditioner from Aussie and my hair was never better. The detangling conditioner is amazing and you can run a wide-toothed comb through your hair instantly. You will love your hair if you try Aussie.

on 12/20/2005 If your curls are really tight and you want them looser, when your hair is damp; style it in two plaits and let it dry. Then unwrap the plaits and your hair will have looser curls. It really works, and looks nice too!

on 1/4/2006 After washing your hair, blow dry the roots and clip your hair up into a bun. Once it is dry, take down the bun and put a little mousse in.

on 1/2/2006 I have found some great products for using on naturally curly hair located at the local Sally beauty supply store. The brand Beyond the Zone has some awesome leave-in conditioner.
What I do is take shower, shampoo as normal(Shimmer Lights brand works great for me). I leave in my conditioner for 2-3 minutes, then I take a wide tooth comb and comb the tangles out (leaving the conditioner in helps breakage that may occur). Then I add more conditioner and leave in 3-5 more minutes, rinse, towel dry (no dryer ever comes near my hair) and I flip head over and put in leave-in conditioner. I let it dry some more, and I put in Salon gel.

on 12/30/2005 An egg, hair oil and lemon juice. Mix them and apply on the scalp and hair, rinse off and apply shampoo. Hair will be soft and glowing.

on 12/13/2005 I have really curly hair. I use Salon Selective Shampoo and Conditioner. It is great and inexpensive. I always leave the conditioner in my hair for about 3-5 minutes before I wash it out. Then I towel dry and use a wide toothed comb. I only comb it enough to get the tangles out. Too much combing makes it frizzy. Then I use Loreal Lasting Curl Gel. This stuff is great, too. A little while later I will spray some hair spray in my hair. Don't do a lot, just spray around your head a couple of times. Run your fingers through your hair so it doesn't have that hair sprayed look.

on 11/29/2005 i have very curly hair and although it looks thick it is actually very fine. I got this tip from a boyfriend - and much to my disbelief it works .... it can also work if you have wavy hair too..
ok .. after washing and conditioning .... fill the basin/ bath with tepid water ...put a towel round your shoulders
turn head upside down and dip hair ino the water up to the scalp ..raise head out of the water then very gently shake it until the ends form ringlets .. repeat as often as possible till the hair is saturated forming large ringlets from the scalp to the tips.. then still with your head upside down .. twist the towel tightly round the ringlets and pin back....joan collins style..
leave the towel on long enough to get dressed .. then unwrap the hair... the result should be tangle free springy ringlets ... you can then gently apply some serum .. and leave as is ... sounds complicated but it's not .. alternatly .. straighten it with GHDs ....

on 11/22/2005 If you have naturally curly, medium length hair, wash it every other day with regular shampoo if you have an oily scalp. If you don't have an oily scalp, don't forget the conditioner. When you get out of the shower, don't brush your hair, pat your hair dry and shake your head a bit. Go to bed when it is semi-dry (don't blow-dry). When you wake up, you'll have that beautiful bed head look that everyone tries to get (and maybe that beach-babe long haired look)! I've been complimented on this before, and people have even asked me how I do my hair. Natural!

on 11/22/2005 I have wavy hair, and i think sometimes that it is the most complicated kind of hair to tame. sometimes it's super curly, while other times it is limp and saggy. I have found that i should only brush when completely necessary, and usually use a wide-toothed comb while I'm in the shower instead. the book, Curly Girl by Lorraine Massey offers a huge selection of tips that I found helpful, however more directed to people with corkscrew curls. One thing it recomends is NO SHAMPOO. i know this sound unsantiary, but really just using conditioner does the trick.

on 11/22/2005 On hair less than 1/2 inch - natural or textured - towel dry hair, saturate with Sebastian Wet gel - a pea-size amount of Paul Mitchell Foaming Pomade, shape hair with fingers - let dry naturally - perfect curls!!

on 11/22/2005 i am 14 years old, and I have really really thick, curly hair, so it was always hard to take care of it for me. I was experimenting with the wild beast and i found out that if i use detangler and comb/ brush it out. (when u use a brush use the ones that have balls at the end of each brissle) then you put "citreshine" in it. And most people last put hairspray in it, but thats not a good thing to use so many chemicals.

on 11/22/2005 To add shine to your hair, after applying conditioner to shampooed hair turn you warm shower cold to give it an extra burst of shine.
