Hair Styles for Curly Hair
85
If you have been blessed with curly hair, then take it from someone that has very straight fine hair that you are very lucky to have what you have. I know, I know.... we always want what we don't have. I remember growing up with my best friend who had the most beautiful natural curly hair you could ever imagine. She used to take an hour everyday just to get rid of her beautiful curls. I couldn't understand why, when I would pay money to get a perm so I could have curly hair. Whether you have sort curls or long, you can never run out of ways to style your hair when you have natural curls.
Curly Hair Tips
Women that have curly hair know that there can be a price to have long locks. You can experience problems such as split ends, or frizzy dry hair. You may deal with these problems because of genetics or it may be a diet issue, Whatever the cause is, there is always something you can do to make your curls manageable.
- Moisturize daily- The reason for frizzy hair is usually due to using the wrong conditioner or not using it often enough. Check the ingredients of your shampoo and conditioner to make sure you are using one that is appropriate for your hair type, and leave it in for at least 3 to 5 minutes before rinsing it out.
- Avoid using Heat- Try not to blow dry, use curling irons, or straighten your hair on a daily basis.. Letting your hair air dry is always best, especially when it comes to natural curls.
- If you have fine natural curls, blowing your hair with a diffuser will give you a better curl. See video above.
- Combing hair- Always use wide toothed comb. If your hair has tangles then use your fingers until your hair has dried. This way you will have less breakage.
- Highlights- Try adding highlights around your face to bring out your special feature.
- Styling products- Using products made for your natural curls will add shine and definition.
- A Good Diet- Eating well by eating enough proteins will add natural sheen to your hair.
Short Curly Styles
If you are one that has short curly hair then you have a ton of styles out there to choose from. Try using a little gel to define your look or use a shine wax to enhance your loose wavy curls. Your short style can be high maintenance or low maintenance depending on what you choose. If you want the sassy look for the night, then use your favorite gel and run it through your hair. Now you're ready to rock! Sometimes curly hair can prove to be the most temperamental hair to deal with. If you find that your hair is hard to manage then call your favorite hairdresser for advise. She will probably want to see your hair in person so she can be sure you are using the right products. There are a host of shampoos and conditioners available online, so what are you waiting for? Go out and have some fun, and enjoy your natural curls.
Long Curly Hair Tips
- Curly hair is very forgiving. Throughout the years you may have abused your hair by sitting in the sun for too long or not using the right styling products or conditioners, but as soon as you decide to meet your curls half way, they will respond once again giving you head-turning results that are breath-taking.
- One thing you can't do, is give yourself a haircut, or at least you shouldn't. But you can choose who will. Make sure you get a cut that flatters your face by finding a stylist that specializes in your desired cut. Don't be afraid to ask questions, if it bothers them, then go somewhere else. Try to find one that has worked with naturally curly hair and you will always be happy with your results.
- For a loose sexy look, try using a medium strong gel and scrunching your hair into place.

Eliza,
Usually the reason for frizzy hair is it is either to dry from lack of moisture or using the wrong products,
Try going to Sally's Beauty Salon and asking them for a shampoo and conditioner that has low alcohol. Most products sold in stores have alot of alcohol and can make your curls look very frizzy. You also want to think about any other products you use as well, such as hair sprays or gels.
You can also try using a good moisturizing leave-in conditioner that can be used daily instead of your typical rinse out kind.
Since your hair is probably dry I would suggest using a moisturizing hair mask. Make sure you leave it in your hair at least 5 to 10 minutes. You can use these once a week.
Now for some personal advice: My husband has very curly hair. He loves to wear it long and he also, like you, battles with the frizzes. He uses a product that is 100% alcohol free that is called Frizz Busters serum by Fantasia. We get it at Wal-greens. I'm sure if you don't have a wal-greens near by that you can find it in another store like wal-mart or save-on. It's a great product that has NO ALCOHOL at all. He loves it and uses it every day. Like I said before make sure your other products have no or low alcohol also.
Letting your hair air dry is best also instead of using heat with a blow drier. If you have to then use a defusier, but its really best not to use it at all.
Trimming your hair regularly also can help, even if its only tipping the ends off.
I really hope these tips help, let me know how Frizz buster works for you.
Good tips, some will also work for extremely curly hair.
I have naturally curly hair that tends to expand into a pyramid or bell shape that i hate. I have tried numerous products and cuts to keep my hair from expanding but none seemed to have work. Also, when i put products in my hair, the end to work for a couple of hours but then my hair turns frizzy and unmanagable. Do you know of any hair products that work all day long?
P.S. My hair has enough volume so I tend to stay away from volumizing products.
Excellent tips...Having naturally curly hair myself and read up on curls and hair styles, I've come across some of these before. The really interesting one though was on healthy eating. I've never really thought about the effect of what I eat has on my hair, but it makes perfect sense that it would.
Loraine....I have to comment because your curl issues practically mirror mine. From the pyramid shape to the frizz. Everyone's curls are different, but this is what I try to do in "controlling" my curls:
1. I only run a comb through it while I'm still in the shower and after I've shampooed and conditioned.
2. While it’s wet, I scrunch the anti-frizz cream or leave-in conditioner in my hair instead of combing it through. I'm always changing products, but I always seem to come back to Garnier.
3. Layers have always worked for me. I've had stylists that look at me and ask "are you sure?" when told that's what I want, but I stand by it. And I’m content with the fact that since I live in a very humid part of the states, I’m always going to have some frizz. Hope this is some help.
Thank you very much RachelC, but I recently talked to a new stylist and she gave me some advice about my hair. I, too, have layers in my hair but only a few in the back near my neck because my hair is a little longer than shoulder length when dry. My stylist recommended this daily routine that can be done at any time of the day.
1. If your hair is very dry like most curly haired girls, you probably don't shower everyday because your hair doesn't produce natural oils as fast as other hair types. If I take a shower, I put my conditioner through my hair and I brush through it so all of my hair gets conditioned. After I leave it in for 2-5 minutes I rinse it out. This makes the hair easier to put products in, but if you don't shower that day I advise you to fill your bathroom sink up and dunk you head and just brush it while it's wet.
2. Here comes the longer portion, my hair products. After I get out of the shower (or get my head out of the sink) I put a leave in conditioner in my hair. After that, I use a cream gel and a scrunching gel though I advise you NOT to scrunch your hair as it breaks the natural curl pattern. Then, I must confess, I actually us got2B glued spiking gel with my curls. I know it sounds insane but it is one of the only heavy duty gels that doesn't make my hair too crunchy. I only put a quarter amount size in while my hair is still wet, then I brush it through my hair.
That's pretty much it to my routine of hair care. I don't try to mess with it as that tends to produce more frizz. I really hope this helps RachelC.
I love love love curly hair, it just looks so nice and can look wild and sexy at the same time, the best products I have found that helps keep the frizz down and define curls are natural hair products for curly hair because they do not dry out the hair. The secret recipe is honey and olive oil, works great on eliminating frizz.
