hair care?

Hi,

I was just wandering how other curly headers look after their curly hair, how they style it, just basically what they do to it?

I have just above the shoulder legnth very curly (naturally) dark brown hair.  I used to really hate my curls and tied my hair up all the time but now ive learnt to look after it and what products to use on it, now i like having my curly hair.

I was just interested how others feel with their curly hair, whether they like it or not and how they look after it or style it, just what they do to it basically!

Please let me know.....x

Thanks for the tip

I've used Bumble and Bumble before and they are good but I kind of stick to a hair product once i've found one that works for me as my hair is ultra curly, i have tried loads of different products before but the only range that actually makes a difference to my hair are Kerastase Nutritive Shampoos   In particular I am loving the Nutritive Bain Oleo-curl shampoo on the 3rd page.

I am mainly interested in how others style their curls; do you scrunch them?, do you make them all messy?...I twist individual curls around my finger and i find this defines them much more.  It does look really nice when i wear my hair like this but i was wandering how else i can style it as i always do it like this, i have a big meal coming up and wanted to make it look a bit different......?

Plus i also want to know if others actually like their curls or not?

I like the messy look too, if i go for that though my hair seems a bit too messy !   I think when people have naturally curly hair it is hard to wear it messy as it is quite frizzy whereas people who have permed hair can get away with the messy look as its not normally that frizzy - thats what i think anyway but i could be wrong 

Yeah the website i mentioned is in british pounds, as I am in the UK i go for UK based sites, it is a good site for UK based people anyway coz it's basically all about hair with loads of different products on it. This was how i found out about Kerastase in the first place!

Thanks for replying to me

Hi,

One of the best pieces of advice is this; for curly hair, frizzy hair, wavy hair...

The answer is "CONDITIONER" condition, condition, condition! It's Moisture it needs and loves...

I use it and recommend it, even as a styling product, etc.

NO MOUSEE, gel styling aid, nothing with any alcohol in it...

hair that has moisture will be easier to straighten, with a blower, or flat iron,

it will curl beautifully when letting it dry naturally, and it will not look frizzy...

depending on how thick, or thin, or curly it is, will determine how much conditioner you will need...

its kind of a testing area... to see what amount, or what works best for YOUR hair!
