Curly hair:: how to STYLE IT?!?
There are tons of products out there for girls with curly hair. And every curly girl has a different product or group of products that works best for them. One of the absolute BEST resources to research this hair type is www.naturallycurly.com. The site breaks curls into several different categories. And there is a forum that is incredibly helpful for products, styles, coloring, cuts, etc.
Some suggestions that I would add is to try the sample sized products if you are thinking of trying some of the more expensive brands/products, that way you haven't wasted a lot of money if you dislike the product. And try to find a salon/retailer that has a 30 return policy on products, so that if you do purchase a full size bottle of something and find it's not what you were looking for, you can return it for a refund.

Bio silk oil first apply on damp hair, then use basically any type of mousse and scrunch from ends to roots. Do not comb or brush cause then it will frizz just let dry natural or use a diffuser...

i have really curly hair too. Unfortunately, sometimes it just does whatever it's going to do. No matter what styling products you put in it!
I like the Redken curly hair products ($$$) or the Sun Silk No Frizz or No Poof products ($) seem to work right now.
I also find that it's best to just let it air dry and not attempt to blow dry or straighten.

I have the same hair and I cut it short. This way I can flip it out at the sides and it looks really hip and chic. When I had it your length, I used to wash it and then take a piece of hair (one at the top of your head and at each temple) and break it in two; then I'd twist the two pieces of hair around each other and bobby pin them into place. This way the front of my hair is all pinned back, with some very pretty wisps coming off the sides. Then Id pull my hair back into a bun or ponytail or something. You should layer your hair, too; this way you can grow long, beautiful curls, cut it short and hip, or keep it loose. Also, you can keep it down the way it is and take a wide barrell curling iron and curl your bangs under. Break them up with your fingers to make them look natural and not in one big downwards clump. This way you can get sideswipe bangs. BouncyCreme is a good product for curly hair. Good luck!

Curly hair:: how to STYLE IT?!?
- Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life!
- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in cream, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a microfiber hair turban (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).
-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sodium laureth sulfate or anything close to that). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.
- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (cyclopentasiloxane and dimethicone are examples). Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.
- Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is evenly distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the crunchy texture later.
- Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). You can either let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then let air dry the last bit. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!
- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores) or Activate Hydrating Conditioner (drugstore). The combo of products that I use daily is L'Oreal Out of Bed Weightless Texturizer (comes in a black-colored tub) and then Herbal Essences Totally Twisted Gel or Body Envy but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites. The products I recommended are my personal favorites and contain no silicones.
- "Strictly Curls" is a book about curly updos and such. Curly hair looks good long with LONG layers. I advise against thinning because it will make your ends ratty. I like to sweep hair back with 2 crisscrossed bobby pins after parting my hair to the side. I also like to wear my hair half up and leave out individual curls to frame my face.
- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This may take a couple weeks to begin working. Before you decide to quit shampoo, do a final cleanse with shampoo and stop the use of any products with silicones in them. Hope this helps!
