Curly haired girls

I love love love all the products in the DEVACurl line....it's not cheap but I haven't found anything else that leaves my curls as soft and smooth as these products. The No-poo shampoo doesn't lather...wierd but the lather isn't necessary to get the hair clean and it actually dries it out.

I love my curls....I just wish my curls were uniform! One side of the head is curlier than the other!

So many great responses here, gonna hafta try a bunch of them!!
I don't have the patience to straighten my hair either, even though I'm not a fan of my hair, lol. I don't brush it, just use my fingers to comb thru after the shower, and then I put on aloe vera gel. after that's squished in I use Tresemme curl creme. There isn't any hold to it so my hair isn't crunchy and doesn't have the greasey/wet look. I used to use Big Sexy Hair Blow it up gel, and that worked about the same, but it was also about $15 more a can, and I have too much hair to spend that kind of money anymore, haha!

Love all the responses and tips here! Thanks, girls, for sharing!

I had naturally curly red hair. The product that worked best for me was a Gillette Razor.

hahahaha. you should have kept your curly red hair!



and yeh i have curly hair, random mouse works well for me, and i curl the ends a bit more with a flat iron

I have naturally wavy hair that will curl if I pay attention to it (and if the weather isn't too dry) but loves to frizz more than anything else.
I've had it cut short for about 6 months now, but before that the key for me was not shampooing too often. I rinse it to get the sweat out after exercising but I only use shampoo once a week or so. I use Moroccan oil or a leave in conditioner a couple of times a week too and that helps keep the frizz under control.

I just have to stress how well the Rusk Mouse works!

It's been over 40% humidity every day around here, like every summer. By this time every year, I'm normally wearing my hair up in a ponytail everyday just to not deal with it.

But I started using this stuff only because the store didn't have my "normal" stuff there...and it totally works! It even maintains its hold through a couple workouts and sleeping on it a couple nights, so I only have to wash my hair every other day or so. Which you curly-haired girls KNOW is vital!

I wash mine with conditioner, put in some type of mouse, let air dry and go.

If it gets crunchy feeling then I'll re-scruch or w/e.. but for the most part it's fine.

Exactly what I do. :-)

I have to laugh about the above post about 40% humidity. I'm in Florida. Try 90-100% humidity. When your mousse holds up to that (mine does), I'll be impressed. lol

Yeah, yeah. I know. I've been to Florida.

But for here, this is awesome, and I'm happy.

From your photo, it doesn't look like your hair is quite as curly as mine, either. I could never get away with not washing my hair every day. Even if it still looks good when I wake up, by the end of the day it won't. But since I air dry and don't use any heat or damaging chemicals in it, it does fine with a daily wash. And when I work out, I sweat like a 400-pound man.

LOL! I sweat a lot too. I don't always blowdry my hair, but I do once in awhile. And I do get it dyed/highlighted every 6 weeks. So...yeah. I don't know what my point is.

Ringlet by Redken. Apply 1-2 pumps to towel dried hair and scrunch. It has the texture of a leave-in conditioner so your hair stays soft, but the hold of a gel so it doesn't get frizzy. It basically makes you look like you have naturally great curls. :-)

Also, use a good shampoo/conditioner. The cheap crap damages your hair and leaves it frizzy. Sulfate/paraben/silicone free is best. I like Nature's Rescue by Redken (especially after the gym) or "It's a 10".

I'm a fellow curly headed girl AND a hair stylist.

Maybe I'll try that one. I'll see if my hairdresser has it when I go to get my hair done next Wednesday.

I also "wash" mine with conditioner most days and shampoo only 2. I use Garnier Fructis leave in conditioner right after i get out of the shower which separates the curls and then I use their mousse. My only issue with the mousse is that it leaves my hair a little stiff which I hate, so I have to comb it out with my fingers after.
