Soo... curly hair? It's tons of fun, believe me! It can get annoying sometimes, but let it do as it wants to! A nice reference is the book Curly Girl. It's just a small, cheap paperback, but it's really helped.





To tame it a little, begin by throwing away your shampoo, hair dryer, hair straightener, and hair brush. I haven't used any of these for over a year and my hair has never looked better.





In case you want to see some pictures, here are a few to show the difference.

For washing, it works the best for me in the mornings, but often I end up doing it in the evenings. Wet your hair, but don't pull at it. Wash your hair with conditioner- trust me on this one. You should get a bit of conditioner into your hands, then start at your scalp. Make sure to rub your scalp gently and massage it until it's clean. Continue along your scalp and to the ends of your hair. Rince your hair thoroughly, and finish washing. When you're finished, put a little bit more conditioner into your hair. Don't rinse this out. This will keep your hair moist until you start again. If you tend to get an oily scalp, start about an inch down your hair.





When you go to dry your hair, don't touch the hair dryer! This drys out your hair and makes it even frizzier. Take a hand towel and blot your hair by starting at the ends and bringing the towal toward you head. Once it's to the point of just being damp, put some gel onto your hair in the same way. With a little gel, run your hands lightly over the top of your hair to cut back on wispies.





From there, let it dry some more, then style it as you wish. Don't pull the top too tight, or you might end up looking rather strange with the top of your head very smooth, but the curls all disturbed in the back. Relax and let your hair show off. Refrain from rubber hair ties or other things that might ruin your hair.





If you don't get to do this in the morning, have a spray bottle with some water in it. Just lightly dampen your hair, rearrange a little, and you should be good to go! If you're worried about frizz, use a little extra gel. It'll be a little stiff that night, but in the morning it will have loosened up nicely.





It might take a while for your hair to recuperate. My hair took about a week to start really feeling good. I wanted to just have straight, easy hair for most of that time, but now I would never turn back. I've always been a very in-the-box conformist, and my hair gives me a chance to show what I can be. Oh, and you can definitely save by not buying all those expensive appliances and shampoo.What is good hair style for short curly hair with out straitioning it?
my best friend has hair just like yours! short and very curly, right?


first off, don't try getting a ';style'; per say if you don't want to straighten it. the key to short, curly hair is to define the girls so they look great. here are the steps for cute, defined curls:


1. in the shower use shampoo specifically for curls


2. Use TONS of conditioner (avoid roots) and brush your hair IN THE SHOWER with the conditioner still in your hair so it doesn't go frizzy (never brush your hair without conditioner outside of the shower, it ruins the curls)


3. apply a curl defining cream (like dove, redken, sunsilk, there are tons)


4. Let hair air dry - blow dry makes it frizzy





Don't wash your hair as often (curly hair hides grease) because it will dry out your hair and make it frizzy


Good Luck!
