Curly/Wavy haired girls out there!

I haz the hairs. I go to a nice sylist. I wash my hair pretty infrequently but I do wet it everynight in the shower. After the shower its a towel dry, a little bit of product (Daviness Momo) and then I put it into a folded over pony tail at the top of my head. It gives it a lot of body the next day. I wake up with dry or slightly damp hair, in goes a little more product (gel? mouse? whatever I'm feeling) and I'm done. I get many compliments.

Edited to say NO brushing and NO hairdryers ever.

I usually wash mine before bed, let it dry on its own to the point where it's almost dry. Then I put frizz cream in it and I sock bun the sucker. Then I sleep on it. In the morning I wash my body and face etc but not my hair, then I pull it ouf ot the sock bun, spritz with curl spray, more friz cream if needed and fix up with curling iron if needed. Sock bunning has saved my life. Try it!

I have unruly hair and 2 things have changed it:

*I got a great cut at a nearby salon. It's a perfect cut! I have ALOT of hair and very curly (almost spiraly in some places). So he cut a bit of length and layered it in such a way that as it grows out I don't get that weird triangle shape that we all get because of our curls.

*When I want to wear my hair curly, I found the perfect curl pudding.

It's the beautiful textures curl pudding @ Sally's. here's the link:

I wash it, condition, and put this sucker on. Perfect SOFT TOUCHABLE curls every time. I've never loved my hair so much curly!

My daughter has alot of hair to and very spiraly. A different texture than mine and now I put it in her hair. She has perfect curls now to.

Also, I switched shampoo/conditioner to Treseme for curls. That seemed to make a difference as well.

Hope this helps!

My hair is curly and looks massive but it's actually quite thin when it's all flattened out. So friz is my problem.

Well, not so much a problem, because I don't actually give a fig. My hair philosophy is, If you don't like it, look somewhere else! I'm not going to spend MY time fussing with my hair when I could be SLEEPING.

Shampoo and condition, leave in the conditioner for as long as possible, however long it takes to finish my shower. Rinse at the scalp but try to leave some in at the tips. Put it up in a towel, DON'T RUB IT, don't comb it, nothing. When I take it out to air dry, I bend over at the waist and wriggle it around at the scalp to loosen it and define the part. Then let 'er dry if it's morning, and look fantabulous during the day. (Well, I think so.) If it feels stringy and dry I put some Aussie product on the tips.

If it just looks all wrong I comb it, put in a Sebastian thickener product, and hope for the best.

After I sleep on it I'm pretty much screwed. I usually french braid it at night, and sometimes re-do it in the morning, with de-frizzer and hairspray on top to keep the halo down. Sometimes the braid gives it waves and that's nice too.

On the weekends all bets are off: two braids or a messy bun. And not like a "messy bun" from the magazines, I mean really, a messy one.

Once or twice a year, if I have some event or occasion (job interview, family wedding) I get my hair straitened at a salon, it's usually under $40 and lasts a few days for a nice change. But I'm happy when it goes back to MY HAIR. Once I did an at-home Brazilian Blowout thing, took me and two friends all damn day, and my hair looked kindof sad, like it wanted to curl but just couldn't. I hated it. Luckily it did grow out over time.

I have naturally curly hair, and it takes me forever to get it as straight as in this picture!! I am learning to try to love my curls ♥

Bump for later!

My hair is fine, but thick, and I don't tend to get a lot of frizz. Everyone is different, but this is what works for me....

1. A hair stylist who understands curly hair; not all of them do.
2. Long layers.
3. The right products - for me Aveda or Abba shampoo & conditioners, I like AG Re-Coil, Tigi Curls Rock, or Aveda Be Curly for styling products.
4. I bend over so I can blow dry with my head upside-down, using a diffuser with the dryer on low.
5. You know those clips hair dresser use to hold peoples hair up for perms, coloring, etc? That's what my past two hair dressers have used - after cutting, and adding styling product, they scrunch up my hair in sections, use clips to hold in place, and sit me under the dryer. So this is what I do at home - get your hands on a bunch of those clips, or something similar. After partially drying with diffuser, use the clips as I have described and leave them in until your hair is mostly dry. You can take them part way through, and rearrange if you want. It takes a bit of practice but it's worth it. I usually do this at night and my hair is good to go in the morning. If there are any really unruly bits, I'll take a curling iron to them.

That said, some days my hair still won't cooperate. My hair grows really fast, and with curly hair I do find you have to constantly adapt. I like my curls though, so I try to work with it.

Nothing that I've tried works for my hair. Once it's dried it is twice the size of my profile pic. I keep it straight most of the time now.

ugh, when my hair is short, it's this crazy curl that looks like a perm.

When it's long, I get a half curl and mostly waves.

All the time, it's thick and heavy on my head. I usually end up throwing it in a ponytail and moving on lol
