    I've been straightening mine on a regular basis for a few years now, and I have to say I really do miss my curls!! They are still there, just not like before!

    I use Pantene curl products - shampoo, conditioner, gel and hairspray. Wash, condition, use a pic comb to flip upside down and comb when really wet. Apply gel and scrunch gently so as not to separate all the thick curls. Scrunch again with a towel. Blow dry with a HUGE diffuser. Throw curl hairspray all throughout and blowdry again... keeps all the curls separate, voluminous and bouncy.

    I like the John Frieda Frizz-Ease Dream Curls spray. It gives me nice curl definition with no crunchiness.

    I have curly hair and I have tried just about every product there is out there, except for the super expensive ones. What I do now is only wash my hair with shampoo once or twice a week, the other times use only conditioner. The less I get it wet, the more it is calmed down and less frizzy. Also, I use a fat curling iron to make big, soft curls and it makes my hair less frizzy as well. It may seem counter intuitive to use a curling iron on curly hair, but it really works for me.

    A good set of hair clippers will take care of that curly hair real quick. :tongue:

    Garnier is the best stuff out there, and I've tried it all. I have one of the curliest heads of hair out there, so believe me, I know! I use the Curl Sculpting Cream Gel. Results - soft, bouncy curls!

    THIS!

    I comb it with a wide tooth comb wet, dry excess water, add a bit of gel, scrunch, add a bit of mousse, scrunch in, and spray with a bit of hairspray. It takes a lot for my hair to hold in high humidity!! Sometimes I use a difuser on low heat to get it dry if I need it!

    I just never straighten it. Curly hair is beautiful! I shampoo only once a week with sulfate-free shampoo. The rest of the time I just rinse and use conditioner. I use Cantu leave-in conditioner from the ethnic hair section. Very cheap. Then I use a styling product such as IC gel (also from the ethnic hair section, super cheap) or Kiehl's silk groom. The most important thing is styling. I watched Ouidad videos on youtube to learn how to style it, and that has made all the difference. it's not hard at all.

    I make my own hair gel with flax seeds and water. But mostly I just let it air dry and tie it up. In my hometown we are in triple digits and it probably won't cool down until mid October. So letting my hair air dry and tie it up makes it healthier.

    I heard (I have never tried) that Curly Whirly is good. You can get it at Whole Foods.

    I have curly hair and hate it. However, I stopped blow-drying it and it dries wavy not as curly. Then I use a curling iron to make soft, big curls all around - it's still curly but more tamed looking, if that makes sense. Works for me.

    Lately, I have had great success with the Organix Moroccan Argan Oil line. I use the shampoo, conditioner, penetrating oil, and the smooth perfection blow out cream. I dry with a diffuser until 80% dry and air dry the rest of the way.

    There are a lot of great tips here!

    When I wear my hair curly, I will wash it the night before, put some redken all soft leave in conditioner, some pommade, and then braid my hair and sleep on it. Then in the morning, I just get up and fix the very top part of my head and bangs, and then go! :)

    Other than that, I wear it straight almost all of the time....always seems faster to blowdry it straight since I've been doing it for so long!

    Thanks for all the tips...they are all wonderful!!

    I have naturally curly hair as well. I use a wide tooth comb, herbal essences curl enhancing shampoo and conditioner and Aussies leave-in conditioner...

    There is a brand called Jessicurl that I use as well. They have all kinds of products and it was designed by a woman who has naturally curly hair as well, so she definitely knows what she is doing!! It is available on the internet.. www.jessicurl.com :-)

    Moroccan oil curl cream is the best!!! I rarely blow it dry. Have searched for the perfect product for years and years!!! With thick hair, just past the shoulders I use 8 pumps per style. Seems like a lot, but I love how it comes out. Just the right hold and not crunchy...you can run your fingers throught it.

    I use Moroccan oil curl cream as well, it's the best thing I've ever used on my hair. Never used 8 pumps, though, gonna try it tomorrow.

    I use macademia oil hair products and Aveda Damage remedy. I air dry my hair. I just have wavy hair with a few ringlet curls (it's unpredictable in how it will curl, but not very curly).

    I really like It's a 10 Styling Serum (and the cream) for my hair. Both, for when I straighten and when I wear it wavy.

    Yes. I know. I was just wondering why bump a hair topic from ages ago. I mean, if you were able to dig it up the first time, surely you would have been able to find it again.

    Anyway, it isn't important. Enjoy the thread.
