Comments on How to Care For Curly, Frizzy Hair

1. Take a shower every other day. Your hair needs natural oils to keep your hair from frizzing. 2. For a wet, natural look: While your hair is wet, use light mousses and gels to keep your hair looking healthy and well put together. If you overdo the gel or mousse, your hair will look greasy and oily. 3.Do not blow dry your hair! Blow drying will turn your hair into a huge mess, and ruin your beautiful curls. 4. Care for your hair. Do not brush it too much, that will give you split-ends.

Take a shower at night. Apply a curl boosting cream or gel, then put your hair into a messy bun. Be sure you don't smooth out the top part, just put it in a bun. Then, go to sleep. When you wake up, take your hair out of the bun. It will still probably be a little wet. Let it dry for 15 minutes, and then scrunch your hair with the same gel. You will have perfect curls. Your hair will however, feel a little bit crunchy. That is OK, your hair will stay in those prefect curls all day long!

Believe me, washing your hair every day is NOT a good idea, because I did, and my hair became VERY dry. It ruins the fibres of your hair, if you wash too regularly. Wash once every 3 days.

let it naturally dry... or in the winter stand next to the firplace.. that'll dry faster without the fros n' splitends. then when it's semi dry.. a little damp.. put some aloe vera gel (for mosquito bites) on the ends and then slowly work your way up to your scalp. presto, n your done and it doesn't feel greasy or overdone. just nice!

As many have recommended, air drying is best. But air drying can take a long time. If you have things to do, wet hair smacking you in the face can be very bothersome, and constantly pushing your hair back will destroy the curls around your face. I like to use a hair net ( nothing fancy, 3 for a dollar at the grocery store). You just stuff your hair in it and let it dry and out come smooth ringlets ( you should push it back a little from your hairline, otherwise it can look a little smooshed).

I am tri-racial and I have very curly hair (tight curls). After years of trying all kinds of products and spending too much money to count, I have found the cure! Use Pantene Oil Cream Moisturizer (in a brown bottle). This stuff changes the whole outcome of my hair. I condition my hair everyday, and then I towel dry, I put a good amount in my hair (especially where all the bouffant occurs) and then let it dry naturally. Do not use a blow dryer on naturally curly hair. This will be the last thing you buy for those curls!

I have really thin, incredibly curly hair. I wash my hair everyday with Bath and Body Works Natural Moisturizing Shampoo, then turn off the water in the shower and apply a boat-load of Suave Deep Conditioner. The Suave stuff comes in small bottles, but is only $1.47 a bottle at WalMart. After putting in the conditioner, I brush my hair with a wide-toothed comb. Do not rinse the conditioner out before combing! The conditioner provides lubrication so the comb doesn't cause as many split ends. Also, don't forget to get trims 4 times a year to keep dead ends away.

I'm 13, and I use Salon Selective Completely Drenched. Since I'm "that" age, my hair can get oily and frizzy very easily. Completely Drenched worked miracles and leaves your hair soft and moist. I don't use gel or mousse too much, because it just makes me hair worse. Also, I use one of those cheap plastic comb/brushes while I'm still in the shower and it works very well. I have never brushed my hair when I get out of the shower or when it's dry-it does NOTHING. I would really recommend Salon Selective.

I have red, curly hair, and I thought that if I kept it long my hair would be less pouffy. I was wrong. I just got it cut, and it is layered. Even though it is a bit pouffy, it is less frizzy, and has character. I love it! Embrace your curly hair. It is unique and memorable, it's how I stand out.

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.

Normally after washing and blow drying my hair, I spray hair spray on my fingers and run it through my hair, then when I straighten my hair it stays straight longer and does not go curly.

Before you do something with your hair in the morning, straighten it with a flat iron. Then, do your hair as normal. Your hair won't frizz out, and it's easy!

if u dont want to have curly hair, then you should buy a flat iron. Im recommending the Hot Tools bc it really works. I have naturally curly hair and it worked for me.

When I shower, I usually shampoo with a good shampoo made for curls, and then apply conditioner from the nape of my neck down (applying it on the scalp will weigh hair down and make it greasy looking). I only condition every other day. When I step out of the shower, I take an absorbent towel and scrunch the water out of my hair, then apply some Beyond the Zone Noodlehead Curl Maker Creme. It's a knockoff of Aveda Be Curly and can be found at Sally's Salon. It's inexpensive and really works. If not Noodlehead, use some other curl product. Tuck all of your hair in a shower cap, scrunching it all in there. It's not so attractive, but it's not time consuming at all. I get ready for work and then take off the shower cap, scrunch quickly one more time, and off I go! The shower cap forms all my curls perfectly and Noodlehead saves me time, money, and my hair!

I have been using Finesse conditioner on my very thick, wavy hair for 20 years. It's inexpensive and absolutely keeps things smooth. Although I pay very top dollar for a cut, I have no shame in buying this grocery store brand b/c it's the best and that's what matters. People look at me funny or make a comment when I try anything else (even very $$ salon conditioners).

This is the best method i have come across to achieve the nicest air-dried curls! If you have the time before you go out, shower and then lay down on a bed or couch, don't lay on yor hair, move it above your head. Then read a book, or nap while your hair dries. The lack of movement allows the curls to stay together as they dry and also gives boost to the roots as the hair dries, to avoid "triangle head"

If you straighten your hair the night before it gives you a more natural look - even if you decide to straighten it the next day. Wet to straight hair straighteners are great, you don't have to blow dry your hair!

If you have curly frizzy hair, instead of waiting to wash your hair every 2-3 and getting that icky, haven't-washed- my-hair feeling, take one half of the shampoo out of the bottle and save it for later. Instead add a mixture of one-half water and one-half conditioner. When you shower use this shampoo and your conditioner as usual. This way you can wash your hair every day without overdrying.

Wash your hair about every 3 days, because when it's just washed, it poofs out. Don't brush it, fingercomb it in the shower. When it dries, put your hair in a messy bun. When you take it out, it'll be flatter at the top and curly at the bottom. I don't think this works if you have overly curly hair, though. Sleep with it in a messy bun and just run a thin comb through the top to get the frizz out.

When you get out of the shower, wrap your hair in a towel. Leave it up for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until it dries a little. Comb the hair on top (not bottom) and tie in a pony tail as low as possible. Let dry and remove. Frizz is gone. A conditioner for dry hair works best.

I've found that shampooing my hair every other time I shower, and using just conditioner in between, helps to control the frizz unbelievably well. I would also suggest not to use gel or mousse, since it doesn't always control your hair (if you have very curly hair). It can make your look sort of funny and give you a yield sign shape. Instead, invest in products such as Nexus Versa-styler Artistic Styling Lotion, and apply as needed.

Moisture is the key to beautiful curls. Find a good conditioner, because well conditioned hair will give more defined curls and prevent any frizz. Also use a wide toothed comb rather than a brush to detangle hair, it also lessens frizz.

moisture maniac shampoo and conditioner, i use it every with control freak gel. it has turned my frizzy poof to really shiny nice curls.

I use Pantene (the new one with amino protiens). To me it works better than the original Pantene. The best formula is Full and Thick w/ amino protiens. It does not volumize your hair it leaves it soft and totally frizz free and very light not weighed down. Don't try the hydrating curls it does nothing. And try your best to not use any products after not using any for a while you will start to see an improvment and you will realize that you don't need them. It's best to go natural. I used so many different products after a while I stopped and my hair looked horrible, real frizzy but after a week or so your hair (naturally) starts looking great and better from then on.

On days when I'm extremely busy, I put a good amount of Infusium 24 in my hair, comb it, and let it air dry. The conditioner is heavy enough to keep away frizz, but gives the curls a nice definition, too!
