Comments on: How to Care For Curly, Frizzy Hair

on 11/22/2005 You guys have got to try the Got2b products for curly hair! I use kinky mousse and curlvaceous curl amplifying hair gel! Also, I get my hair thinned once a month, or else it is an ugly fuzzball.

on 11/22/2005 I wear my hair in it's natural curly state. I'm not biracial. I use shampoos that don't contain SLS, which is drying. Sodium laureth/lauryl sufate is my no no. I don't shampoo too often, but I use conditioners every day to add moisture and keep my hair clean. If I need to clarify my hair, then I'll use a gentle shampoo like J/A/S/O/N aloe vera. I always use a creamy, leave-in conditioner, and I dry my hair by plopping it with a silk scarf. Plopping keeps my curls intact and doesn't frizz it up the way towels do. I always air dry or shake out the curls.

on 11/22/2005 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!

on 11/22/2005 Stay away from products with mineral or petrolatum or petroleum. These only clog the hair follicle, block hair from growing from the scalp, and they attract dust. The same goes for wax and silicone (I cry for anyone who uses that). Massaging the scalp for 5-10 minutes gets the natural oils going and allows blood to flow. Use a silk pillowcase or scarf when you sleep to prevent friction and help to avoid split ends; cotton cloths absorb moisture. Maybe you want to spritz your hair with a water and oil mixture at night, so it's nice and moisturized the next day.

on 11/22/2005 Buy a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner and mix them together and use that as your shampoo.

on 11/22/2005 Every day I scrape the top bit back and wear it in a high ponytail. My hair seems to be a lot less frizzy like this. I use Pantene moose, and when I wear my hair half up and half down it seems to be less poofy.

on 11/22/2005 Sleep with your hair braided. One or two braids will do. This helps to keep your hair shiny, and it also prevents tangled hair. In the morning just take the braids out and leave it at that. Apply a hair cream and it will stay down, and look healthier. I do it everyday, and at last three times a week I get compliments about my hair. Also, try to use it braided during the day, a few days a week, this protects the hair from the sun and dust.

on 11/22/2005 I had my hair highlighted and my stylist asked me what brand of shampoo and conditioner I use. I told her it was Pantene and she said Pantene causes split ends and dries your hair out. I switched to Dove, and I love it. My hair is smooth and free of split ends.

on 11/22/2005 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.

on 11/22/2005 Wash you hair with extra conditioner. As soon as you get out of the shower put mousse, gel and hair spray in your hair.

on 11/22/2005 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.

on 11/22/2005 Take a shower as you usually would. When you get out of the shower, comb your hair (don't use a brush), then scrunch some moose into it. Add a little hair spray and use a diffuser while blow drying. It's simple!

on 11/22/2005 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!

on 11/22/2005 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!

on 11/22/2005 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.
