How do you take care of curly hair?

my hair used to be really culrly and over the years my hair is now less curly. what I usually do to my hair is i wash it and brush it after I put conditioner then I put herbal esence moose and gel. I'm trying to find a way to make my hair look more healthier and less frizzy what should I do?

Same thing here. My hair is the same way. The biggest thing I deal with is frizz, it's not coarse or anything, just unmanagable frizz if I don't put anything on it. So I invest in my hair, that way it looks good. I grew up in a salon so I experimented with what I like and what I wanted.



It depends on the texture of your hair, if it's curly soft, or frizz curl. You know what I mean. I buy the large bottles of either Paul Mitchell, or something else, at a salon. Lords and Ladies, I don't know if you have one, but that's where I usually get it. It's cheaper if you buy the larger ones and if you split it up, you're pretty much paying the same thing as you would for the ones in the store like Pantene (which isnt very good).



So I buy a good shampoo, a moisturizing one, make sure it's creamy not clear, it has to do with what's in the shampoo.



I buy a conditioner, I usually use the Instant Moisture from Paul Mitchell as well, and the Instant moinsture line, the deep conditioner. You should also detangle you hair with a wide tooth comb, not a brush, that breaks and damages your hair. Also when you rinse your hair, try to rinse with cold water so you can seal in the moisture.



Then I use their hair get, Paul Mitchell too. It doesn't dry your hair, like many other ones out there. I believe it doesn't contain alcohol. Biolage is another good brand. If you don't like the hair gel, you can use the Biolage glaze. It's lighter than hair gel. I also blow dry my hair, and that's a different story, if you want to know how, just ask.

My hair is kinda curly so I put some mousse in it and use a diffuser on the blowdryer. It keeps the hair from getting frizzy and looks nice and curly.



How do you take care of curly hair?

dont wash your hair everyday because that makes your hair fall off. what you do is dont let it get knotted and brush it daily



How do you take care of curly hair?

finger comb - brushing or combing dry hair only adds to frizz problems. instead, comb your hair with your fingers while it's still wet to untangle strands. or even better, do it while you're in the shower.



frizz factor! - 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



nice natural curls - 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!



frizzy curly hair - Wash and leave hair to dry a bit. Add some leave in conditioner and/or styling balm. Then pile it at the top of your head so that when you sleep it isn't going to leave an uncomfortable bump. Use a loosly wrapped scrunchy to gather all of you hair. Tuck hair in or leaved it out for different looks. The tucked look with leave waves and the left out look will give you curly.



Moisture magic - 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.



air drying tip - 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).



Wash Your Hair Every Day - 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.



Shampoo helps... - If your hair is frizzing out French poodle style, try getting a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Look for the words moisturizing and if you aren't sure it will work, get the tiny travel size bottles.(My curly hair is the worst and i use Salon Selectives Completely Drenched. I swear it works and it is cheap) If that doesn't help much, don't forget deep-conditioning once or twice a week.

I'm not a beauty tech, but trying a spray leave in condtioning could be a good factor. Try to stay away from curling irons and blow dryers, and let dry naturally. Also check out a nutritional store for possible vitamins for more healthier hair. I know vitamin e is good for skin, and it could quite possibly be good for hair. Also too I've heard of using egg whites for hair, sounds gross, but it's high in protein.

I have tons of super curly, fine hair with varying textures through, which can be very irritating and hard to deal with. Over the years (28) I have experimented with different routines and have found one that has really made my "hair life" a lot easier.



First, I wash my hair once a week, tops unless I have gotten it excessively dirty. When I do wash it I use TIGI Curls Rock shampoo and conditioner, concentrating the shampoo on my scalp and the conditioner on my ends. I also don't rinse the conditioner all out. All other days I condition only, using the john frieda curly conditioner and sometimes use a leave in conditioner as well.



Second, I never brush my hair and only comb occassionally. My fingers work just fine w/out damaging my hair.



Third (and probably most significant), I use a microfiber hair towel. I had never even heard of such a thing before and assumed it was just some marketing ploy for one more unneeded item. This towel has seriously made my hair so much more manageable and less frizzy its unbelievable. My hair dries so much more quickly and the curls are defined, i will never go without one again.



Fourth, while my hair is still really wet I apply TIGI catwalk curlbooster and any generic ($3 or less) mouse. Then I pile my hair on top my hair and use the hairtowel like a turbon, tying it in the back-I never twist my hair up in the towel anymore, which I found out only causes more frizz.



Finally, after using the hair towel for about 10 minutes i let my hair air dry for another 10 minutes and use an ion dryer w/ a diffuser and concentrater on different parts of my hair depending on the texture of that section (the underlayer is not as curly-diffuser-and the crown is like tight ringlets-concentrater).



It sounds like a lot, but it really doesn't take more than maybe 20-30 minutes total and a lot of that time is while I am doing other stuff to get ready. It also cuts back the styling time because my hair is so much easier to deal with now I don't have to spend another 10 minutes after drying it to try and de-frizz or pull it all back because its an afro, i blow dry and leave. The products are mostly all interchangeable. I don't think its worth spending $10-$15 on a small bottle of mouse, when I can get more for $3 and it does the exact same thing-just nothing w/ alcohol. I do treat myself with the TIGI shampoo and conditioner but since I use it so rarely, it lasts me 3+ months. TIGI curl booster is the one expensive item I swear by because my hair is kinda thin and i live in SWFlorida where its VERY humid 10 months out of the year, frizz is always an issue and this stuff really truly forms and holds the curls.
