I'm a curly head, always will be. I look terrible with straight hair.<br /><br />My best tips for you would be to "conditioner wash". Most conditioners have gentle surfactants in them and do clean your hair without stripping it (much to the disbelief of frequent shampooers). When washing, don't rub your hair around because that causes tangles. And comb your hair with conditioner in it in the shower, then rinse. Apply your stylers on damp or wet hair.<br /><br />Hope that helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843870007364769629.post-60850213271811411752010-08-12T12:25:09.628-04:002010-08-12T12:25:09.628-04:00I have naturally curly hair as well and I've f...I have naturally curly hair as well and I've found that Garnier Fructis Curl Construct works wonderfully for me as a cheap hair mousse. I'm not a huge fan of their other products but I love this one. I usually use more that you'd think one would need because my hair is pretty thick. Then I blow dry it.<br /><br />I recently discovered Jessicurl.com as well. I ordered the small 2oz sample sizes and I'm really excited about them because they work wonderfully. I had very little frizz and it smelled awesome. Speaking of smell the other reason I love this product is that you can order it scent free. I get smell sensitive when I'm sick and you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find something w/o a scent.<br /><br />Also...it's all natural and doesn't have sulfates. Another happy thing for ladies with curly hair.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348225203712080819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2843870007364769629.post-30536279239950848292010-08-12T05:55:57.650-04:002010-08-12T05:55:57.650-04:00Also, I just found this.

My biggest tips to the curly haired gal.

Honey, curly hair is nothing but big frizz!!"<br /><br />This doesn't work for a lot of other people, but I shower at night (I can't bring myself to wake up so early that I have to DO my hair) and then get some mousse (or gel, if that's all I have) and put it in. Then, I just sleep on it. My hair looks better this way that if I styled it during the day!<br /><br />For straightening (I love my curls, but I need a change every so often), try not to use a flat iron more than once a week, to prevent heat damage and breakage). Also, I used to mousse my hair, wait a day, and then straighten it until one day, I took my french braids out and felt how soft my locks were sans product. I ran to my straightener, cranked it up, and wound up with the sleekest hair I think possible for my head =D<br /><br />The thing that bugs me most is that when you google something like "Curly hairstyles", it's always for straight hair that can be curled. No, I want to know how I can cut it so that my curls don't make me look like that triangle headed chick from Dilbert. Can anyone help with that?<br /><br />-Catie<br /><br />PS.

I didn't actually realize that I had curly hair until one day when I showered, quickly combed it, and then had to go some place and let my hair air dry. Before that, I just thought that I had bushy Hermione hair, and I was always brushing it to tame the fluff. I also really like John Freida hair serum. Just a tiny bit on wet hair helps my curls stick together and tames flyaways. If only it cured the flyaways...rachelnoreply@blogger.com
