What are hair tips for someone with curly hair?

Well I have curly hair and it gets poofy sometimes but I put on loads of mousee so it normally stays down but if i don't it goes crazy. i don't like putting it into a ponytail as it poofs out a lot. does anyone know any good hair styles?What are hair tips for someone with curly hair?
Here are some basic tips for curly hair that you might find helpful:


*Try to find a stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. You can find ratings by region here: http://www.naturallycurly.com/curlsalons


*Don't shampoo every day.


*Comb conditioner through hair in the shower.


*Never use a brush, only a comb when the hair is wet.


*Apply styling products to dripping wet hair. Scrunch or twirl hair to achieve desired shape.


*Use styling products suited for your hair type. Don鈥檛 know yours? http://www.naturallycurly.com/hair-types


*Avoid terrycloth towels; use microfiber or t-shirts instead.


*Air dry or use a diffuser with your blowdryer.


*Don't touch (or brush!) your hair while it鈥檚 drying





For specific products for your hair type you might want to explore the forums at:

There you can find others with the same hair type and try out some of their favorite products. So that鈥檚 really useful.





For now, I recommend trying LA Looks and Herbal essences gels, Suave Naturals/vo5 conditioners (really cheap), Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Condish (semi-cheap but super moisturizing; found at organics/specialty stores), red Cream of Nature shampoo, and L'oreal out of bed instant texturizer (black tub; use under gel). These are all good things to try out first. Be sure to tinker around with amounts and how you use any products.





Lastly, it has made my hair so much better since I started the curly girl method! I used to almost never wear it down (it was a frizz/poof ball), but now I have pretty, shiny curls. ~:) It鈥檚 pretty radical鈥攏o sulfates (shampoo) or silicones鈥攂ut it鈥檚 so great for curly hair.

I have similar problems with my hair. I put a defrizzing serum in my hair to keep it from frizzing during the day. I have my hairdresser cut my hair in long layers so that I can wear it curly or straight. This type of cut helps a lot with curly hair.





I wrote about my hair winter makeover in my buzz blog in my sources.
you can do it halfways


or you can do pony tails with the bump on the top
